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 Off The Grid Tote? A: With approximate measurements of 36 × 37 × 13 cm, it comfortably carries day‑to‑day essentials: a large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch, an A5 diary and an iPad/standard tablet. A4 documents fit flat. A 13‑inch laptop usually fits; slimmer 14‑inch devices may also fit, though the zip opening can make very large laptops snug. Share your device’s dimensions and we’ll do a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it work for crossbody wear? Is the strap adjustable? A: This piece includes a detachable shoulder strap with an approximate 44 cm drop as listed under Measurements, which wears comfortably on the shoulder and as a high crossbody on some frames. Strap designs can vary within the Off The Grid line (some are adjustable); if you’d like us to confirm the adjustment range for this specific strap, just ask and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: How secure is the closure and what’s the interior layout? A: This exact bag features a top zip closure for everyday security. Inside, there’s a black nylon lining with one internal pocket for valuables. Off The Grid totes have appeared in different seasonal configurations (e.g., zip or hook/lobster‑clasp closures, one or two interior pockets); our listing photos show the precise layout of this piece.
Q: What materials is the Off The Grid line made from? A: Off The Grid uses ECONYL regenerated nylon (made from pre‑ and post‑consumer waste such as fishing nets and carpets) with leather trims and recycled or responsibly sourced components. It was launched as part of Gucci’s Circular Lines initiative focusing on circular production and reduced environmental impact. This specific bag is in black GG nylon with black leather trim and silver‑tone hardware, labelled Made in Italy.
Q: Is the nylon water‑resistant? Can I use it in the rain? A: ECONYL/nylon offers light water resistance and is practical for daily use, but the bag isn’t fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain and prolonged moisture. If it becomes damp, blot gently (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and allow it to air‑dry away from direct heat. Keep hardware dry to minimise tarnishing over time.
Q: How should I care for the nylon and leather trim? A: Wipe the nylon periodically with a soft, slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh cleaners and alcohol. For the leather trim, use a soft dry cloth and apply a high‑quality neutral conditioner sparingly (test first on a discreet area). Be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim onto lighter clothing/leather. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid overloading to preserve its shape.
Q: How durable is ECONYL compared with traditional canvas or leather? A: ECONYL nylon is lightweight yet robust for everyday wear. It resists light scuffs better than many smooth leathers, though it can snag on sharp edges and abrasive surfaces. The GG jacquard is woven into the fabric, so normal use doesn’t typically cause the pattern to rub off; take care around rough surfaces and hardware to reduce abrasion.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located? A: Authentic Gucci bags usually have a leather logo tab inside stamped “GUCCI” and “Made in Italy.” On the reverse of that tab you’ll typically find a debossed multi‑digit number (often in two rows) used for style/supplier identification. Newer models may also include a QR/NFC element; placement and format can vary by year and style. We’re happy to provide close‑ups for this specific item on request.
Q: Is Off The Grid still available in boutiques? A: Off The Grid debuted in 2020 under Gucci’s Circular Lines. Availability of specific colours and configurations varies by season and region; the pre‑loved market is often the best way to find particular versions like this black zip‑top tote. We can advise on sourcing if you’re looking for a different size or colourway.
Q: What accessories are included and how is authenticity guaranteed? A: For this listing we include the detachable shoulder strap (see “Accessories”). If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts—examining materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial/style codes and overall construction—and we stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
