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 fits inside the Gucci Ophidia Mini Boston Bag? A: Despite its compact “Mini” classification, this barrel‑shaped bag is surprisingly spacious. It typically fits a large smartphone (such as an iPhone Pro Max), a small wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, and a few other small essentials like a compact or hand sanitizer. Sunglasses can usually fit if placed in a soft pouch rather than a bulky hard case. Please refer to the dimensions (approx. 22 × 12 × 9 cm) to confirm compatibility with your specific items.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable and removable? A: Yes, the leather shoulder strap is detachable and typically adjustable, allowing you to wear the bag comfortably on the shoulder or crossbody. The dual rolled top handles offer a chic handheld option or can be carried in the crook of the arm, though the drop is relatively short. We list the specific strap drop for this item under “Measurements”—if you need further details, feel free to ask.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag features a secure top zip closure that runs across the length of the bag, keeping your belongings safe while providing easy access to the main compartment.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: This model is crafted from Gucci’s signature GG Supreme canvas, a coated material known for its durability and scratch resistance. It is trimmed with leather (typically beige or brown) and features the iconic green and red Web stripe. The interior is lined with a soft fabric (often a linen‑cotton blend).
Q: How should I care for the GG Supreme canvas and leather trim? A: GG Supreme canvas is low‑maintenance; simply wipe it gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents. For the leather trim, keep it away from moisture and direct heat, and use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner sparingly if the leather becomes dry. Store the bag stuffed with acid‑free tissue in its dust bag to maintain the barrel shape.
Q: Does it have interior pockets? A: The Ophidia Mini Boston typically features a single open main compartment. While some variations may include a small slip pocket, the design is primarily an open space to maximise capacity for its size. Please check the listing photos and “Features” section for the exact interior layout of this specific piece.
Q: Where are the brand markings located? A: Authentic Gucci bags feature an interior leather tab heat‑stamped with “® GUCCI made in italy”. On the reverse side of this tab, you will find the serial number. Newer models may also include a QR code tag sewn into the lining. We are happy to provide close‑up photos of these details to help you verify authenticity.
Q: Is this bag still produced? A: The Ophidia line is a staple of the Gucci collection, but specific shapes like the Mini Boston may be seasonal or discontinued in certain colourways. The pre‑loved market is often the best place to find specific combinations like this classic GG Supreme version.
Q: What accessories are included with the bag? A: This item typically comes with its detachable shoulder strap. Any additional accessories, such as a dust bag, box, or care booklets, will be explicitly listed under the “Accessories” section on this page. If an item is not listed there, it is not included.
