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 can this bag hold day to day? A: With approximate measurements of 45 × 26 × 15 cm, it comfortably fits an A4/letter pad, a 13-inch laptop and most 14-inch models, a small water bottle, umbrella, long wallet, phone and a make-up pouch. Capacity varies by how you pack—please compare your items to the measurements for the best fit.
Q: Will it fit a 15-inch laptop? A: Many slim 15-inch laptops can fit lengthwise due to the 45 cm width, but the 26 cm height may be snug for some models in a protective sleeve. We recommend comparing your device’s dimensions to the bag’s measurements and using a slim sleeve for protection.
Q: Is it comfortable to carry on the shoulder? A: Yes. It features a single braided shoulder strap with an approximate 20 cm drop, designed for shoulder carry. It sits well over light layers; over bulky winter coats it may feel snug depending on your frame.
Q: Does the bag have a closure? A: This example has an open top for easy access. For added privacy and organisation, many clients use a zippered pouch or a bag organiser inside.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or removable? A: No. The Charlotte is designed with a fixed, single braided shoulder strap and is not adjustable or removable.
Q: What are the materials and interior layout? A: Brown distressed leather with light gold-tone hardware and interlocking G details. The interior is lined in beige canvas and includes one zip pocket and one slip pocket.
Q: Is this considered a vintage piece? A: Yes. This is a pre-owned, vintage Gucci Charlotte Tote, showing gentle signs of wear consistent with age and use. Please refer to the condition notes on this page for specifics (for example, light corner scuffs and minor scratches).
Q: Where would the serial number be if present? A: On most Gucci handbags, the serial number is typically heat-stamped on the reverse of the interior leather logo tab in two rows of numbers. Formats can vary by production era, and some older pieces may differ. If you’d like us to check for a code on this specific bag, please contact us.
Q: How should I care for the distressed leather? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use, keep it away from prolonged sunlight, moisture and oils, and avoid overfilling to maintain the shape. Store it stuffed lightly in its dust bag in a cool, dry place. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, follow Gucci’s care guidance and use a small amount of pH-neutral cleaner or leather cream sparingly, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: Everything included is listed under product information for this item. For this piece, a dust bag is included. If an item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial coding conventions. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional photos or details on request.
