Designed for city life, this Gucci GG Supreme Medium Messenger is an effortless choice for back‑to‑office days, cross‑town meetings and weekend escapes. Sleek and understated, it pairs with tailoring or denim and keeps everyday essentials close from the commute to the café to your hand luggage.
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 this bag hold day to day? A: With approximate measurements of 27 × 30 × 4.5 cm, it comfortably fits A4 documents, a diary, phone, wallet, keys, and a tablet up to about 11 inches. Most 13-inch laptops will not fit due to the bag’s 27 cm width—please compare your device to the measurements for certainty.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable or removable? A: The blue and red Web shoulder strap is adjustable for shoulder or crossbody carry. On this piece it adjusts to a drop of about 47 cm. It is designed to be worn in place and is not intended to be removed.
Q: What is GG Supreme canvas and how durable is it? A: GG Supreme is Gucci’s coated microfibre canvas. It is lightweight, malleable and hard‑wearing, and on this model is paired with black leather trim. With sensible care, it stands up well to regular use.
Q: Is the bag waterproof? A: The coated canvas offers light resistance to moisture, but the bag is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain and prolonged exposure to water. If it gets wet, gently dry it straight away with a soft cloth and allow it to air‑dry away from heat sources.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: For GG Supreme fabric, wipe with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water. For leather trim, use a dry, soft cloth. Avoid soaps, solvents, or protective sprays that could mark the surface. When storing, lightly stuff the bag to help maintain its shape and keep it in its dust bag in a cool, dry place.
Q: What pockets and closures does it have? A: It features a secure top zip closure, one exterior zip pocket for quick access, and a black fabric‑lined interior with one zipped pocket and two slip pockets for small essentials.
Q: Is this style unisex? A: Yes. The clean messenger silhouette, neutral black/grey palette and adjustable strap make it a versatile option for all wardrobes.
Q: Will the strap work for different heights and builds? A: The adjustable strap allows you to fine‑tune the drop for shoulder or crossbody wear across a wide range of heights. If you prefer a specific carrying height, measure from your shoulder to your desired bag position and compare with the approximate 47 cm maximum drop.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece comes with its dust bag and brand booklets as listed in the Accessories section.
Q: How is authenticity assured and where is the Gucci number located? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware and stamps. On modern Gucci bags, the style/supplier number is typically debossed on the reverse of the interior leather logo tag.
