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: What are the dimensions and how can I carry it? A: Approx. 27 × 18 × 9 cm with a 13 cm bamboo top handle drop and a 50 cm detachable shoulder strap drop. Carry it by hand, on the shoulder, or crossbody (fit varies by height and layers).
Q: What typically fits inside the Medium Bamboo 1947? A: A large smartphone, small wallet, cardholder, keys, sunglasses in a soft case, and a few small cosmetics. It is not designed for a tablet, A5 notebook upright, or a standard water bottle. Capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the measurements above.
Q: Is the handle real bamboo and will it age? A: Yes. Gucci crafts the curved handle from real bamboo that is heated and shaped by artisans. Natural variations and a gentle patina over time are normal and part of the bag’s character.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The flap fastens with a bamboo turn‑lock. It is a firm, reliable closure designed for daily use while keeping essentials secure.
Q: How should I care for the bamboo handle, canvas and leather trim? A: Keep the bag away from prolonged sunlight, heat and humidity. Wipe canvas and leather with a soft, dry cloth; avoid harsh cleaners. Keep the bamboo dry; if it gets damp, blot and allow to air dry away from direct heat. Store stuffed, in its dust bag, with the handle resting naturally to prevent pressure marks. Avoid colour transfer from dark fabrics.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable? A: The strap on this piece is detachable; length is approx. 50 cm drop. It is not designed for multi‑hole adjustment. Many wear it as a shoulder strap or a higher crossbody depending on frame.
Q: What is included in the product information for this item? A: Dust bag, pocket mirror, and a detachable shoulder strap. Everything included is listed here; if an item is not listed, it is not included.
Q: What is the condition of this vintage piece? A: Overall very good. Exterior: good with marks and small tears on the leather trim, plus creasing at the leather strap. Interior: very good with light signs of use and small stains on the lining. Hardware: shiny with light scratches. Please review photos for the most accurate view.
Q: Where was it made? A: Italy.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by experienced in‑house experts using multi‑point checks, supported by a trusted third‑party authentication tool. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide more details on request.
