Gucci GG Tote Bag

Q: What typically fits inside this Gucci GG Tote Bag?
A: With approximate measurements of 39 × 29 × 12 cm, it is a practical everyday size. It should comfortably hold daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a pouch, a small water bottle and paperwork, with room for a light cardigan or similar extras depending on how you pack.

Q: Will it fit A4 documents or a laptop?
A: A4 documents should fit well in this tote. A slim 13-inch laptop may also fit, but this can vary depending on the device thickness and the width of the zip opening, so we recommend comparing your item to the listed measurements before purchase.

Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder?
A: Yes, this style is designed with dual flat shoulder straps. The listed handle measurement is 31 cm, which is generally suitable for shoulder carry, although the fit can vary depending on your frame and what you are wearing.

Q: Does the bag close securely?
A: Yes, it features a top zip closure, which helps keep your belongings more secure than an open-top tote. Inside, there is also one internal zip pocket for smaller essentials you want to keep organised.

Q: What condition is this bag in?
A: The overall condition is noted as Very Good. The exterior shows wear on the corners and a vintage smell, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches consistent with gentle vintage wear.

Q: What does 'vintage smell' mean?
A: 'Vintage smell' usually refers to an older storage scent that can develop over time in pre-owned pieces. It does not necessarily mean damage, but it is worth noting if you are sensitive to smells. Gentle airing in a dry, well-ventilated space is usually the safest approach, rather than spraying perfume directly onto the bag.

Q: How should I care for the GG canvas and leather trim?
A: For routine care, gently wipe the bag with a soft dry cloth after use. Avoid harsh cleaners, alcohol-based sprays and heavy rubbing. Store it in a breathable dust bag or cloth cover, loosely stuffed to help maintain shape, and keep it away from direct sunlight, rain, heat and humidity.

Q: Does this item come with any extra pieces?
A: No extra pieces are noted in the product information for this item, so it should be considered bag only unless otherwise confirmed.

Q: Where was this bag made?
A: The country of origin label states Italy.

Q: Is a serial number listed, and how is the bag authenticated?
A: No serial number is listed in the current product information for this piece. Vintage Gucci bags can vary, so authentication is not based on one detail alone. A Retro Tale specialises in authentic luxury vintage and second-hand pieces, and authentication is assessed through a combination of materials, construction, logo pattern, stitching, hardware and overall craftsmanship.
