Built for hands‑free days, this vintage Gucci GG waist bag in black canvas is ideal for city breaks, festivals and travel. The adjustable strap and front and rear pockets keep your essentials secure and neatly organised from day to night.
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 GG Waist Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 30 × 17 × 3 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, sunglasses in a slim case, earphones and a passport. The two front pockets and rear zip pocket help to keep smaller items organised and easy to reach.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody as well as around the waist? A: Yes. The adjustable webbed strap allows you to style it traditionally at the waist or slung crossbody across the chest or back. How high it sits crossbody will depend on your build and preferred strap length.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and what size range will it fit? A: The strap is adjustable with a buckle closure for a custom fit. Exact min–max circumference can vary slightly by production run and individual bag. If you plan to wear it crossbody or over bulky layers, we recommend measuring against the strap length listed in the Measurements on this page to ensure your ideal drop.
Q: Is this style unisex? A: Absolutely. Gucci’s GG waist bags are designed to be worn by anyone and are widely styled by all genders, whether at the waist, crossbody or on the hip.
Q: How secure are the compartments for travel and events? A: This model features two front pockets (one zip and one flap) plus a rear zip pocket. Worn at the front or crossbody, the zips and flap keep essentials close and secure. As with any open-air event or crowded setting, keep valuables in the zipped sections and avoid overfilling.
Q: How should I care for the GG canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth and dry immediately. For coated canvas, use only alcohol- and oil‑free wipes if needed. Nourish leather trims sparingly with a suitable neutral leather conditioner, and buff hardware with a soft microfibre cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners, colour transfer (especially from dark denim), and prolonged sun or heat. Store lightly stuffed in the included dust bag when not in use.
Q: Is the canvas water-resistant? A: GG canvas is durable and has a light protective coating, so it can handle minor splashes, but it is not waterproof. If it gets wet, blot dry promptly and allow it to air-dry away from direct heat to prevent warping or water marks.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, including inspection of materials, stitching, stamps/tags, hardware, and serial/production codes where present. Vintage Gucci waist bags may have variations in tags and numbering, which our team evaluates as part of the process. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece comes with a dust bag. Anything included is listed under Accessories on this page—if you need confirmation, just ask our team.
Q: Are there any notable signs of wear on this bag? A: Yes. The exterior is in good condition with scuffs on the leather details; the clasp is slightly bent but functions properly. The interior is very good with light signs of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for close‑ups of these details.
