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 Microguccissima Boston Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 33 × 21 × 17 cm, it comfortably carries a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, a small cosmetics pouch, a compact umbrella, and a 500 ml water bottle. A tablet up to about 11 inches fits; a 13-inch laptop is generally too large for the zip opening and structured shape. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can I wear it cross-body as well as by hand? A: Yes. It has dual top handles for hand or crook-of-arm carry (handle drop about 10 cm) and a detachable shoulder strap with an approximate 53 cm drop, allowing most people to wear it on the shoulder or cross‑body.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable? A: For this specific piece, the strap is detachable and measured at approximately 53 cm drop. Adjustability is not specified in the product information; please review the photos or contact us if you need exact hole settings or range.
Q: What is Microguccissima leather and how durable is it? A: Microguccissima is calf leather embossed with a refined, small‑scale interlocking GG pattern. It is a durable, structured leather that resists everyday scuffs better than very soft skins, while still feeling supple. As with all leathers, avoid rough surfaces and overfilling to keep the embossing crisp and the shape intact.
Q: How should I care for and store this leather? A: Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, dry cloth after use. Keep the bag away from prolonged light, heat, humidity, rain, and abrasive contact. When storing, remove the strap, lightly stuff the bag to maintain its shape, and place it in a breathable dust bag. Avoid applying protectants or harsh cleaners; seek a professional for deep cleaning.
Q: Will the orange leather be prone to colour transfer? A: Like most smooth and coloured leathers, lighter or vibrant shades can pick up dye from dark denim and other saturated fabrics. To minimise this, avoid prolonged rubbing against new or unwashed denim and store the bag away from coloured materials when not in use. Any significant transfer is best assessed by a professional leather care service.
Q: Does this bag have a serial/style number? A: Most modern Gucci bags feature a heat‑stamped leather tag inside with two rows of numbers. These numbers relate to the style and production details and are not a publicly searchable “unique ID.” This listing does not show a serial/style number in the product information; we provide detailed photos of all markings and can supply more images on request.
Q: Is this item authentic? A: Yes. Every piece at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, and stamps. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. For this piece, the product information notes a detachable shoulder strap. If an item such as a dust bag or care card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: External condition is very good with visible scuffing on the corners and wear on the zipper pull. The interior lining shows some stains. Hardware is shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for a close look at the wear described.
