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 Fringe Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 35 × 30 × 11 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch, an A5 diary and a tablet. It will usually take A4 documents and many 13‑inch laptops, though the curved opening and protective sleeves can affect fit. Compare your device’s dimensions with our Measurements or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder? Is there a crossbody strap? A: This bag has dual top handles with an approximate 17 cm drop, ideal for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry and a closer shoulder carry on lighter clothing. A crossbody strap is not included with this item.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: Soho totes in this style often feature an open top with a magnetic or hook closure for quick access, plus interior organisation such as a zipped pocket and one or more slip pockets. Layouts can vary by production run; please review our photos and description for this bag’s exact configuration.
Q: How heavy is it to carry day‑to‑day? A: The Soho Patent Fringe is a medium tote with a structured, glossy finish and metal hardware, giving it a reassuring yet everyday‑friendly weight. If you’d like the exact weight of this piece, just ask and we’ll weigh it for you.
Q: How should I care for the patent leather? A: Patent leather has a glossy coated finish. Avoid contact with dark denim and richly dyed fabrics to minimise colour transfer. Wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth; for light marks, use a barely damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap, then buff dry. Do not use alcohol, acetone or harsh solvents as they can dull or damage the shine. Store the bag stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and direct sunlight.
Q: My patent bag feels sticky—what causes this and what can I do? A: Stickiness can develop when heat, humidity or unsuitable products affect the patent coating over time. Keep the bag in a cool, dry environment and follow the gentle cleaning steps above. If tackiness persists, consult a professional leather specialist experienced with patent finishes before attempting stronger treatments.
Q: Any tips for caring for the leather tassel? A: The tassel is a signature Soho detail. To prevent impressions or tangling during storage, position it away from the bag’s body or pad it with a soft cloth. Avoid snagging on zips or jewellery. Light hairline wear on the tassel cap is normal with use; wipe hardware with a clean, dry cloth only.
Q: Is the Soho tote still available new from Gucci? A: Availability of specific Soho styles (including patent and tassel versions) varies by season and region, and many configurations are now most commonly found on the pre‑loved market. If you’re seeking a particular size or colour like this pink patent, the resale market is typically the best route.
Q: Where are the Gucci brand markings and codes, and how do you authenticate? A: Authentic Gucci bags typically feature a “GUCCI / Made in Italy” heat‑stamp and a serial/style code embossed on the underside of a small interior leather tag (often two rows of digits). Some newer models may incorporate scannable identifiers. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and codes; we stand behind the authenticity of all pieces we sell.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing is sold as the bag only; no accessories are included. If an accessory isn’t mentioned under “Accessories,” it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: What is the condition of this piece? A: Overall Very Good, showing light traces of use. The interior is also Very Good, and the gold‑tone hardware is shiny with light scratches. Please refer to our photos and condition notes on this page for a closer look.
