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 Stirrup Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 30 × 25 × 11 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and a notebook. A standard tablet up to around 10–11 inches may fit depending on the case; please compare your device to the measurements provided.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This design is intended as a top‑handle bag with an approximate 15 cm drop as listed. It does not include a detachable strap, so it is best carried in hand or the crook of the arm rather than on the shoulder or crossbody.
Q: How does the stirrup clasp work and is it secure? A: The signature stirrup‑shaped metal clasp secures the flap; open by lifting or pressing the mechanism and close until it clicks. Avoid overfilling the bag so the clasp aligns cleanly, and handle the hardware gently to minimise surface scratches.
Q: When was the Gucci Stirrup introduced, and is this style still produced? A: The Stirrup family, including Lady and Soft versions, debuted around 2012 under creative director Frida Giannini. It is not part of Gucci’s current core assortment as of 20 May 2026, so this is considered a vintage style.
Q: Where can I find the serial/style code and what should it look like? A: Bags from this era typically have a heat‑stamped two‑row number on the reverse of the interior leather tag (often behind the GUCCI/made in italy stamp). The numbers identify style and production but are not a date code. We can share the code on request.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of leather, stitching, glazing, hardware engravings, logos, interior stamps and serial/style codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details upon request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the Product information section. For this piece, no additional items are included.
Q: How should I care for the mustard yellow leather and silver‑toned hardware? A: Wipe the leather with a soft dry cloth after use; for marks, gently spot‑clean with a slightly damp white cloth and allow to air‑dry. Use a neutral leather conditioner sparingly a few times per year. Keep away from oils, moisture and prolonged sunlight, and store stuffed in a breathable dust bag. Polish hardware lightly with a microfibre cloth only.
Q: Is colour transfer a concern with this shade? A: Lighter leathers can pick up dye from dark denim and new textiles. Avoid prolonged contact with such materials and rotate carry to minimise rubbing on the same areas.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: Very Good overall. The exterior leather shows faint marks, the lining has a small stain, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches—consistent with gentle wear.
