Perfect for busy days in the city, this red patent Gucci Soho Patent Chain Tote Bag carries your daily essentials with ease. A canvas-lined interior keeps items organised, while light gold-tone details and the embossed interlocking G add polish from desk to dinner. Wear it on the shoulder via dual chain straps for effortless, elevated style.
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 Soho Patent Chain Tote? A: With dimensions of approximately 36 × 26 × 12 cm, this medium-sized tote is spacious enough for daily essentials. It comfortably holds a large smartphone, a continental wallet, a cosmetics pouch, a water bottle, and a tablet or A5 notebook. A compact 13-inch laptop typically fits inside, though the open-top design means it may not be fully secured if the bag is full.
Q: Can I wear this bag crossbody? A: The bag features dual chain handles with comfortable leather shoulder pads. While the straps typically offer a drop range of approximately 20–37 cm allowing for shoulder carry, they are generally too short to be worn comfortably across the body.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The Soho Chain Tote features an open-top design secured by a central internal hook clasp (lobster clip). This allows for easy access to your belongings but does not seal the bag completely like a zip-top. For valuables, we recommend using the internal zipped pocket.
Q: What material is this bag made from and how do I care for it? A: This piece is crafted from glossy red patent leather, embossed with the iconic interlocking G logo. Patent leather is durable and water-resistant but requires specific care. It is susceptible to colour transfer, so avoid prolonged contact with dark denim or printed materials, as the leather can permanently absorb dyes. Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface marks and store it in a dust bag to maintain its shine.
Q: Is the tassel detachable? A: Yes, the signature leather tassel is detachable, allowing you to customise the look of the bag or remove it for a more streamlined silhouette.
Q: What condition is this specific vintage piece in? A: This item is in Good condition. The patent leather shows visible creasing, scuffs, and colour transfer—a common characteristic of pre-loved patent items. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please refer to the detailed condition rating and photos on this page for a closer look at the specific wear.
Q: When was this bag produced? A: The Soho collection was a defining line for Gucci, introduced around 2012 and produced until it was gradually phased out. It is no longer available in boutiques, making this patent leather version a sought-after find on the pre-loved market.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts. We perform multi-point checks on materials, stitching, hardware, the embossed logo format, and internal codes to ensure authenticity. We stand behind the genuineness of all items we sell.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item is sold as the bag only and does not include additional accessories such as a dust bag or box. If an accessory is not specifically listed under the “Accessories” section, it is not included.
