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 inside this Gucci GG Messenger Bag? A: With dimensions of approximately 30 cm in width, 27 cm in height, and 8 cm in depth, this messenger bag is designed to hold your daily essentials comfortably. It easily accommodates a large smartphone, a wallet, keys, a cosmetics pouch, and a tablet (such as an iPad or similar 11-inch device). While it offers good capacity, the 30 cm width means a standard 13-inch laptop would likely be too tight or not fit at all. Please refer to the Measurements on this page or contact us for a specific fit check.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes, this bag features a durable, adjustable fabric shoulder strap. It is designed to be worn comfortably on the shoulder or crossbody, making it ideal for hands-free commuting or travel. The strap drop is approximately 23 inches (approx. 58 cm) at its longer setting, allowing for a versatile fit for most heights.
Q: How secure is the bag? A: The main compartment features a zip-top closure, providing excellent security for your valuables while on the move. Additionally, there is an external front pocket secured with a buckle closure, which is perfect for items you need to access quickly but keep safe. Internally, there is a zip pocket for organising smaller items.
Q: Will A4 documents fit inside? A: Standard A4 paper measures 21 x 29.7 cm. Since the bag is 30 cm wide, A4 documents might fit if placed carefully, but it will be a very snug fit and the corners could potentially bend, especially near the zip closure. We recommend this bag primarily for tablets and smaller notebooks (A5 size) rather than full-sized files.
Q: What is the material and how durable is it? A: This piece is crafted from Gucci’s signature GG Canvas in black, reinforced with black leather trim. The GG canvas is a coated fabric known for its durability and resistance to scratching and moisture compared to soft leathers, making it an excellent choice for daily use. The hardware is silver-toned, adding a sleek finish.
Q: How should I care for the GG Canvas and leather trim? A: To maintain the canvas, simply wipe it gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the fabric. For the black leather trim, keep it away from direct heat and prolonged dampness. You can use a high-quality neutral leather conditioner sparingly on the leather parts to keep them supple, but avoid getting conditioner on the canvas fabric.
Q: Is this bag unisex? A: Yes, the Gucci GG Messenger is widely considered a unisex style. Its practical design, neutral black colourway, and adjustable web strap make it a popular choice for anyone seeking a functional and stylish everyday bag.
Q: Where are the brand markings located? A: Authentic Gucci bags typically feature a leather tab inside with the heat-stamped “Gucci Made in Italy” logo. On the reverse of this tab, you will find the serial number. The hardware may also be engraved with the brand name. We are happy to provide close-up photos of these details on request.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and serial numbers. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details if needed.
Q: What accessories are included? A: Any included items (such as a dust bag or box) are listed under the “Accessories” field on this page. For this specific piece, the listing notes "no accessories," meaning it will arrive as the bag alone.
