Perfect for cocktail hours and evening events, the Gucci GG Small Marmont in black matelassé velvet brings refined glamour to your look. With its gold‑toned chain-and-leather shoulder strap, it transitions seamlessly from dinner dates to theatre nights and chic city weekends.
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 are the dimensions and how much does it hold? A: The Small Marmont measures approximately 22 × 15 × 7 cm. It comfortably fits a standard smartphone, a small wallet or cardholder, keys, and a few cosmetics. Capacity varies by how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: Yes. The chain-and-leather strap can be worn long for crossbody or doubled for the shoulder. On this item the drop is about 55 cm when worn long and about 28–30 cm when doubled.
Q: Is the strap adjustable? A: The chain is not adjustable via holes or buckles. You change the drop by wearing it long or doubling it. Many find the long drop suitable for crossbody wear across a range of heights.
Q: What should I know about the velvet material? A: This model is crafted in matelassé chevron velvet with a heart motif on the back and gold-toned hardware. Velvet is more delicate than leather and can show pressure marks, imprints from the chain, and corner wear with frequent use. It is best suited to day-to-night or occasion wear rather than rough, daily use in all weather.
Q: How do I care for the velvet and minimise pressure marks? A: Avoid rain and humidity, and do not rest the chain on the velvet when storing. Store lightly stuffed in its dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If the pile looks flattened, gently brush along the nap with a clean, soft brush; light professional steaming can help lift the pile. Do not iron or saturate the fabric with liquids.
Q: Will the colour transfer or will water leave marks? A: Velvet can be sensitive to moisture and to dark dyes. Avoid contact with rain and with garments that may bleed (for example, raw denim). If it becomes lightly damp, let it air dry naturally away from heat; do not rub the pile.
Q: What is the closure and interior like? A: It features a flap closure with Double G hardware and a pink satin-lined interior with a small pocket that fits cards or a compact. Keep the bag lightly filled so the flap closes smoothly without strain.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under Accessories on this page. For this piece: box, dust bag and brand booklets are included. If something isn’t listed there, it is not included—please contact us if you need confirmation.
Q: Where is the Gucci serial number and how is authenticity ensured? A: Most modern Gucci bags have a leather interior tag stamped Gucci and made in italy, with two rows of digits on the reverse. Numbers alone are not proof of authenticity. At A Retro Tale, each item is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and codes, and we stand behind the authenticity of every piece.
