Compact yet refined, it carries just the essentials for brunch dates and weekend events, delivering signature Gucci elegance as a sleek finishing touch.
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 Padlock Guccissima Small? A: With approximate measurements of 20 × 13 × 5 cm for this exact piece, it’s sized for everyday essentials: a large smartphone (usually fits best placed horizontally), a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick and slim sunglasses in a soft case. Full‑length continental wallets and small water bottles generally don’t fit comfortably. If you’d like a tailored fit check for a specific item, just ask and we’ll test it with this very bag.
Q: Can the chain strap be adjusted, and can I wear it crossbody? A: The sliding chain strap is not adjustable via holes, but it can be worn doubled for a shorter shoulder carry or extended for shoulder and high crossbody wear. For this piece we list an approx. 28 cm drop when doubled and an overall chain length around 70 cm when extended; how it sits will vary by wearer and clothing layers.
Q: How does the padlock closure work—do I need the key every time? A: Day to day, you open the bag by pressing the side buttons on the lock; no key is required for regular use. The keys are only needed if you choose to lock the bag for added security.
Q: Does this specific bag come with keys or a clochette? A: Many Padlock bags were originally supplied with a leather clochette and keys. This pre‑loved listing is delivered with no accessories, so keys and a clochette are not included unless explicitly stated under “Accessories.”
Q: What is Guccissima leather, and how is it different from GG Supreme? A: Guccissima is genuine leather embossed with Gucci’s interlocking GG motif, giving a recognisable pattern with a smooth yet structured hand. GG Supreme is a coated canvas, lighter and more wipe‑clean. Both are durable; Guccissima offers a full‑leather finish with a more luxurious feel.
Q: What is the interior layout of the Padlock Small? A: The Small Padlock typically features a beige microfibre (suede‑like) lining with one interior slip pocket. Some seasonal versions include an exterior back slip pocket; please refer to our photos for the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: Is the bag heavy to carry? A: The Small Padlock’s substantial chain and lock give it a pleasing weight without being overly heavy. Similar configurations are commonly around 0.6 kg; exact weight can vary slightly by materials and hardware. If you’re weight‑sensitive, we’re happy to provide a scale weight for this item on request.
Q: Is the chain removable? Will it leave marks on the leather? A: The chain is fixed and not designed to be removed, though it can be tucked inside the bag. As with many chain‑strap bags, pressure marks can occur if the chain rests on the leather during storage. To minimise imprints, store the bag upright and lightly stuffed with the chain padded in tissue or felt.
Q: How should I care for Guccissima leather and gold‑tone hardware? A: Keep the bag dry and away from heavy rain; if lightly damp, blot (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim onto the black leather’s edges and lining. Dust with a soft, dry cloth and condition smooth leather sparingly with a high‑quality neutral product after testing on a discreet area. Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and pad the chain/hardware to reduce hairline scratches.
Q: Where are the Gucci markings and codes located, and how do you authenticate? A: Authentic Gucci bags usually have an interior leather tag stamped “GUCCI” and “made in italy,” with a style/serial number on the reverse. From the mid‑2010s onward, many models also include a small fabric tag with a QR code near the leather tag. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and codes—we stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
Q: Is the Padlock Small still produced in this leather? A: Gucci continues to release Padlock styles seasonally in various materials. Full‑leather Guccissima versions are generally past‑season, so the pre‑loved market is the best place to find them in specific colours like black.
