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 Guccissima Princy Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 37 × 23 × 11 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, phone, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, a 500 ml bottle and a tablet. A slim 13-inch laptop or A4 documents can fit when placed horizontally; please compare with your device’s dimensions for the best match.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. The strap drop is about 20 cm, so it sits neatly under the arm over light layers. It is also easy to carry in hand or on the crook of the elbow.
Q: What type of closure does this Princy have? A: This example features an open top with a magnetic snap closure that gives quick access while helping keep contents in place. As with most open-top totes, avoid overfilling and keep valuables in the interior zipped pocket for added security.
Q: What is Guccissima leather and how is it different from GG canvas? A: Guccissima is genuine calf leather that has the interlocking GG motif embossed into the surface, giving a textured, luxurious finish. GG canvas, by contrast, is a woven fabric (often coated on some models). Guccissima offers a more leather-rich feel, while canvas versions are typically lighter and more casual in appearance.
Q: How should I care for Guccissima leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use. Avoid water, oils, alcohol-based products and prolonged sunlight or heat. For storage, stuff the bag lightly to maintain shape and keep it in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place. If needed, use a neutral leather conditioner sparingly and test first on a discreet area.
Q: Which era is the Princy style associated with? A: The Princy family is widely associated with the mid-to-late 2000s. Guccissima leather itself rose to prominence around 2006 under Frida Giannini, and many Princy pieces from that period feature the signature bow detail seen here.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number or date code? A: Gucci bags typically have a two-line serial number heat-stamped on the reverse of the interior leather tag. The top row generally corresponds to the style number and the bottom row to production details. Gucci serial numbers are not date codes and cannot be verified through any official public database; they are one of many elements used in authentication.
Q: Is the bow detail durable? A: The bow is a decorative leather detail. It is designed to be long-wearing with normal use, but like any raised trim it will last longer if you avoid rubbing against abrasive surfaces and do not pull on it. Clean it with the same gentle care you use for the rest of the leather.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this piece, a dust bag is included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is vetted by our in-house experts using multi‑point checks across materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps, serial numbers and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional photos or details on request.
