Light gold accents and the woven silk scarf add refined flair from desk to dinner, making it an elegant companion for client meetings, lunches, or gallery visits.
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 are the measurements and how does it carry? A: Approx. 33 cm (W) × 22 cm (H) × 11 cm (D) with a handle drop of about 18 cm. It can be carried by hand, on the arm, or on the shoulder for most builds. This model does not include a long crossbody strap.
Q: What typically fits inside the Small Positano Tote? A: A long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, a compact umbrella and a 500 ml bottle fit comfortably. It can take an iPad up to 11 inches or an A5 diary; it is not designed for a 13-inch laptop or A4 folders.
Q: Does this piece have a closure? A: It is an open-top tote for quick access and features an interior zip pocket and a slip pocket to secure smaller valuables.
Q: Is the decorative silk scarf removable or replaceable? A: Yes. The scarf is threaded through metal eyelets and can be untied, removed and replaced with a similar slim silk scarf if desired. When retying, handle the silk gently to avoid pulls.
Q: What is Guccissima leather and how should I care for it? A: Guccissima is embossed calf leather. After use, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid direct sunlight, heat, humidity and rain, and do not use harsh cleaners or protective sprays. Store stuffed to maintain shape in a breathable dust bag, with handles resting naturally.
Q: How should I care for the silk scarf and the lining? A: For the silk scarf, professional dry cleaning is recommended; for light marks, dab carefully—do not rub or soak. For the canvas lining, shake out debris and spot-clean lightly with a damp cloth, then allow to air dry fully. Keep liquids inside pouches to protect the interior.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag and where is the serial number located? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated. Most Gucci bags from the 1990s onward have a two‑row numerical serial code heat‑stamped on the reverse of the interior leather tag. The code helps identify the model but is not proof of authenticity on its own. This Positano predates Gucci’s newer NFC authenticity tags, which appear only on selected recent items.
Q: Are any extras included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Will the colour transfer to clothing, or can clothing mark the bag? A: Colour transfer can occur in both directions with leather and textiles. Avoid prolonged contact with dark denim or damp fabrics and keep the bag away from moisture and heat. Wipe down after wear before storing.
Q: When was the Positano line produced? A: Positano scarf‑topped totes were especially popular in the 2000s and early 2010s in various materials (leather, canvas, raffia). Authenticated pre‑owned examples are commonly dated to this period.
