Ideal for sun-drenched city strolls, garden parties or seaside weekends, this Gucci Dahlia bamboo-handle bag brings effortless summer polish. Its medium size suits day-to-evening plans, pairing beautifully with linen tailoring or a breezy dress for a refined, relaxed look.
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 can the Medium Dahlia comfortably hold day to day? A: With approximate dimensions of 32 × 24 × 14 cm, it suits a long wallet, phone, keys, a small cosmetic pouch, sunglasses case, and a compact water bottle. It can also fit an A4 folder or most 13-inch laptops in a slim sleeve, though we recommend not overloading to preserve the raffia structure and bamboo handles.
Q: Is the shoulder strap suitable for crossbody wear? A: Yes. The bag includes a detachable, adjustable leather strap with an approximate drop of 53 cm, which works for most heights as a shoulder or crossbody carry. You can also carry it by the dual bamboo top handles (approx. 12 cm drop).
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The flap closes with a GG turn-lock, providing a secure and quick-to-use fastening. Inside, the beige canvas lining includes one zipped pocket and one slip pocket to organise smaller items.
Q: How should I care for the bamboo handles? A: Keep bamboo away from excessive moisture and heat, and avoid alcohol-based cleaners. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use, and store the bag so the handles are not compressed. If they get damp, let them air-dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
Q: What is the best way to care for the raffia-effect exterior? A: Avoid heavy rain and rough surfaces, as raffia-style weaves can snag. If lightly soiled, use a dry, soft brush or cloth to lift surface dust; do not saturate with water. Be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim onto the lighter weave and leather trim.
Q: Can this bag be used in wet weather? A: We do not recommend using raffia and bamboo bags in heavy rain. If caught in a light shower, blot gently with a lint-free cloth and allow to air-dry. Consider a handbag rain cover for unpredictable weather.
Q: Is this a Japan exclusive and does that affect authenticity or service? A: Yes, this is noted as a Japan exclusive model, meaning the colourway or configuration was released for the Japanese market. It is authentic Gucci and can generally be serviced by Gucci or qualified luxury repair specialists, though specific parts availability may vary by region and season.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item, especially if a serial number isn’t listed? A: Every piece is examined via multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and interior tags. Many Gucci bags feature a serial number stamp inside, but our listing may not always include it in the text. Authenticity is guaranteed; contact us if you’d like close-up photos of the interior tag and other details.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This bag comes with its dust bag, brand booklets, and a detachable shoulder strap. Any items not listed here are not included.
Q: How should I store the bag when not in use? A: Stuff the interior lightly (acid-free tissue), close the flap without forcing it, and store in the breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight. Detach or lengthen the strap to avoid indentations, and keep the bamboo handles unsupported so they retain their shape.
