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 fits inside the GG Eclipse Messenger Bag day to day? A: With measurements of approximately 27 × 22 × 5 cm, it comfortably holds a phone, small wallet, keys, sunglasses case, passport, slim charger, and an e‑reader or iPad mini. Many 10–11 inch tablets in slim cases can fit snugly; please compare your device to the Measurements on this page.
Q: Will a 500 ml water bottle fit? A: Because the depth is about 5 cm, a standard 500 ml bottle (typically 6–7 cm in diameter) is unlikely to sit comfortably. A very slim bottle may fit horizontally but will reduce overall capacity.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes. It has a single adjustable flat shoulder strap with an approximate 50 cm drop as listed, so it can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody on most frames.
Q: How secure is the opening? A: This model has an open top. For added security, keep valuables in the internal slip pocket or a small zipped pouch and avoid overfilling so the bag sits close to the body.
Q: Is GG canvas durable and weather‑resistant? A: GG canvas is hard‑wearing and well suited to daily use. It can handle light rain but is not waterproof; promptly blot any moisture and avoid prolonged exposure to water or heat. Take extra care of the leather trim in wet conditions.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, dry cloth. For light marks, spot‑clean sparingly with a pH‑neutral soap solution and blot dry—avoid harsh chemicals and excessive moisture. Nourish the leather trim occasionally with a suitable conditioner. Store the bag loosely stuffed in its dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Q: Is the strap detachable or replaceable? A: The strap is integrated and not designed to be detached. Any replacement would require a professional leather specialist to ensure a proper match and fit.
Q: Does it fit travel documents and a small tablet for flights? A: Yes. Passports and boarding passes fit easily, and compact tablets or e‑readers fit within the listed Measurements. Always check your device dimensions against 27 × 22 × 5 cm.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this piece? A: Our in‑house experts perform multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, heat‑stamps and serial tag details appropriate to the era. Vintage serial formats can vary; we assess the piece holistically and can provide additional photos or details on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this piece, a dust bag is noted.
