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 hobo bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 29 × 24 × 3 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a smartphone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, passport, and small cosmetics. It can fit a small tablet or e‑reader up to about 8–9 inches depending on its case. A4 documents and laptops do not fit flat in this size.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable and what is the drop? A: Yes. This style features a single adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 30 cm as listed under Measurements. It is designed for comfortable shoulder carry.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: This model is intended for shoulder wear. With a drop around 30 cm, it is generally too short for crossbody on most heights.
Q: How does the piston lock closure work? A: To open, press the piston mechanism and lift the flap. To close, align the barrel with the clasp and press until it clicks. Avoid forcing or twisting the hardware. Light hairline marks on gold‑tone hardware are normal with gentle use.
Q: What is the interior like? A: The bag is lined in black GG logo‑jacquard fabric and includes one internal zipped pocket for secure organisation.
Q: How should I care for the canvas, leather trim and hardware? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth; if needed, use a tiny amount of pH‑neutral soap and dry immediately. Keep the leather trims conditioned sparingly, avoid prolonged sunlight, heat and rain, and store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape. Avoid colour transfer from dark denim or other dyes.
Q: Where would the serial number be, and what if I cannot find one? A: On most Gucci bags from the 1990s onward, the serial number is typically heat‑stamped on the back of the interior leather logo tag. Earlier vintage pieces may have different formats or, in some cases, no serial number at all. Serial numbers are helpful but not definitive proof of authenticity—our specialists authenticate every item using multi‑point checks.
Q: What exactly is included with this listing? A: This listing includes the bag only. Any extras such as a dust bag or cards would be stated in the product information on this page. If an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What does the stated condition mean in practice? A: Very Good condition indicates light traces of previous use. On this piece you can expect minor surface scratches to the leather, a clean interior with light signs of wear, and shiny hardware with small hairline scratches. Please refer to the photos for the most accurate view.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: Italy, as indicated on the brand stamping and product information.
