The adjustable shoulder strap sits comfortably on the shoulder, while the zipped interior pocket keeps essentials organised—an elegant choice for gallery visits, coffee runs and relaxed evenings out.
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 the Gucci Horsebit Hobo Bag? A: With its medium, slim profile (approx. 35 × 25 × 7 cm), it comfortably holds a smartphone (including larger models), a long wallet, keys, sunglasses in a slim case, a small cosmetics pouch, an A5 diary, and up to an 11-inch tablet. A4 documents may fit slimly, but the curved opening and hobo shape can make larger folders a tight fit—please refer to the Measurements on this page for certainty.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can it be worn crossbody? A: The single flat shoulder strap is adjustable; on this piece the drop is about 20 cm. It is designed for shoulder carry and is not intended for crossbody wear.
Q: Will it fit comfortably under a coat? A: Yes, the approximate 20 cm strap drop is made to sit neatly under the arm. Over bulkier winter layers, you may prefer lengthening the strap to a looser setting for comfort.
Q: What are the materials and interior layout on this bag? A: Beige embossed Horsebit leather with smooth leather trim and silver‑toned hardware. The interior is lined in dark brown fabric and includes one zipped pocket for small essentials.
Q: What does the Horsebit detail signify? A: The horsebit motif is a Gucci house code inspired by equestrian hardware from the 1950s. It appeared on handbags by 1955 and has been reinterpreted across many collections since, making it both timeless and collectible.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number and can I check it online? A: Most Gucci bags feature an interior leather tag with two rows of numbers that reference the style and production details. These numbers are not a public, unique ID and there is no official online lookup; they are just one element used in a broader authentication assessment.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every item is examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and serial tags. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share further details on request.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid alcohol‑based cleaners, oils, and prolonged exposure to sunlight or moisture. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place, and keep hardware from rubbing against other metals to minimise scratches. For deeper care, consult a professional or refer to Gucci’s care guidance.
Q: What is included with this purchase? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or care booklet is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: Italy.
