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 fits inside the Gucci New Pelham Bag? A: This Large model is spacious and versatile, capable of holding all your daily essentials. Its dimensions (approximately 35 × 30 cm) typically accommodate a 13-inch laptop, a water bottle, a large wallet, a cosmetics pouch, and a smartphone. The bag features a single internal pocket to keep smaller items organised. Please verify the exact dimensions of your device against the Measurements provided on this page.
Q: Can I wear this bag crossbody? A: The New Pelham is designed primarily as a shoulder bag. It features a distinctive single braided leather strap. With a strap measurement of approximately 38 cm, it sits comfortably on the shoulder or in the crook of the arm but is generally too short for crossbody wear.
Q: How do I close and secure the bag? A: The bag features a fold-over flap closure adorned with Gucci’s iconic Horsebit detail, which adds weight to keep the flap down. While it does not have a top zipper, the flap provides convenient access while keeping your belongings covered. For valuable items, we recommend using the internal pocket.
Q: What material is this bag made of? A: This piece is crafted from brown grained leather, known for its durability and resistance to scratches compared to smooth leathers. It features gold-tone hardware and a brown fabric lining. The grained texture gives the bag a relaxed, vintage appeal that ages beautifully.
Q: What is the condition of the leather and hardware? A: This specific item is in Very Good condition with light traces of use on the exterior and interior. The hardware is shiny but shows light scratches consistent with normal use. Please review the detailed photos and the Condition Report on this page for a closer look at this unique vintage piece.
Q: How do I care for the grained leather? A: To maintain the leather’s finish, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct sunlight. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If needed, use a high-quality leather conditioner sparingly, testing on an inconspicuous area first. When not in use, store the bag upright and lightly stuffed to preserve its shape.
Q: What accessories are included with this purchase? A: As listed in the “Accessories” section, this item does not include additional accessories such as a dust bag or box. It is sold as the bag alone.
Q: How do you authenticate this Gucci bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts. We check materials, stitching, hardware (like the horsebit and engraving), and serial numbers to ensure authenticity. We stand behind the genuineness of every piece we sell.
