Q: What can this Medium Queen Hobo carry day to day? A: With approximate dimensions of 38 × 22 × 5 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a compact umbrella and small cosmetics. The hobo shape tapers towards the zip, so capacity is best with slim items and a light pouch for organisation.
Q: Will it fit A4 documents or a laptop? A: A4 paper does not fit upright; it may fit horizontally but the curved zip opening can be snug. A slim tablet up to around 11 inches usually fits; a 13‑inch laptop is not recommended due to the height and narrow opening. Please compare with the Measurements listed here before purchasing.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or detachable? A: No. It has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 20 cm drop, designed for under‑arm shoulder carry rather than crossbody wear.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.

Q: Is the strap adjustable or detachable? A: No. It has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 20 cm drop, designed for under‑arm shoulder carry rather than crossbody wear.
Q: How does the bag close and how secure is it? A: This piece has a zip top closure for secure, quick access. Inside, there is one pocket to keep small items separate.
Q: What is the large buckle on the front for? A: The prominent black resin buckle with gold‑tone accents is a decorative House detail. The main compartment closes with the top zip rather than the buckle.
Q: What era is the Queen Hobo from? A: The Queen Hobo design is associated with the 2000s–early 2010s. Exact year dating is not possible from the bag alone without original proof of purchase or archival confirmation.
Q: Where is the serial code and can it be checked online? A: On most Gucci handbags from the 1990s onward, a two‑row number is heat‑stamped on the reverse of a small interior leather tag. This number is a style/production code and there is no official public database to “check” it. It should be considered alongside materials, stamps and hardware during authentication.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every piece is examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of leather, stitching, hardware, stamps and codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can provide further photos or details on request.
Q: Any care tips for red patent leather? A: Patent leather has a shiny coated finish that can be sensitive to heat, humidity and dark dyes. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, avoid alcohols, oils and harsh cleaners, and store loosely stuffed in a cool, dry place in a breathable dust bag, away from contact with other leathers to minimise colour transfer. If a sticky feel develops over time (often due to plasticisers migrating in warm/humid conditions), avoid home remedies with solvents and consult a specialist for patent‑specific cleaning.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is always listed in the product information on this page. For this specific listing, no additional items are included beyond the bag itself.
