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 typically fits in the GG Icon Bit Bag (Medium)? A: With approximate measurements of 38 × 31 × 12 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a 13–14 inch laptop in a slim sleeve, A4 documents, a tablet, long wallet, compact umbrella and a small water bottle. Capacity varies by how you pack; please compare your items to the Measurements listed on this page for the best guidance.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: Yes. It has dual top handles (approx. 16 cm drop) and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap (listed at approx. 52 cm). Most users can wear it on the shoulder or crossbody; adjust the strap to your preferred drop.
Q: Is the GG canvas water resistant? A: GG Supreme-style canvas is a coated fabric that resists light rain and everyday splashes, but it is not fully waterproof. Blot moisture promptly with a soft cloth and allow the bag to air dry away from heat sources. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided.
Q: How should I clean the canvas and leather trim? A: For the canvas, gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a tiny amount of pH‑neutral soap, then wipe again with plain water and dry with a clean cloth. For the leather trim, use a dedicated leather conditioner sparingly and avoid alcohol, bleach, or acetone. Always test any method on a discreet spot first and avoid over‑wetting.
Q: Will a 15–16 inch laptop fit? A: Some slim 15–16 inch models may fit based on the 38 cm width, but it can be a tight fit and adds weight. For everyday comfort and ease of access, a 13–14 inch laptop is recommended. Please compare your device’s dimensions to the Measurements provided.
Q: What does the “Icon Bit” detail refer to? A: The “bit” hardware references Gucci’s equestrian heritage, echoing the shape of a horse’s snaffle bit—a long‑standing House emblem that has appeared on handbags and small leather goods for decades.
Q: What items are included with this piece? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this item, a detachable shoulder strap is included. If you need clarification about anything else that might be included, please contact us.
Q: How does the hardware age over time? A: The silver‑tone hardware is designed to be durable yet can develop fine surface scratches with normal use. Wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth after wear and store the bag so metal parts do not rub against other objects to minimise scratching.
Q: Does every vintage Gucci bag have a serial number? A: Many modern Gucci bags display two rows of numbers on the reverse of the interior leather tag, but older vintage pieces may have different formats or lack the modern two‑row code. A serial alone does not confirm authenticity; materials, construction, stamps and hardware must also be evaluated. A Retro Tale authenticates every piece through a multi‑point inspection.
Q: What is the best way to store this bag? A: Store it lightly stuffed to maintain shape, in a breathable dust bag, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Keep light fabrics away from dark denim or saturated colours to prevent colour transfer, and avoid hanging the bag by its strap for long periods.
