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 Princy Shoulder Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 37 × 33 × 3.5 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, makeup pouch and an A4/Letter notebook or documents. A slim 13-inch laptop or tablet may fit without a bulky case due to the width, but the slim depth means it is best suited to lightweight, flat items. Please refer to the Measurements and photos on this page for the exact fit.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or suitable for crossbody wear? A: This model has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 17 cm. It is not adjustable and is designed for shoulder carry rather than crossbody wear.
Q: Is the Princy a vintage/discontinued style? A: The Princy line is widely associated with the early 2000s and is no longer part of Gucci’s current collections. As such, pieces from this line are considered vintage, depending on their production year.
Q: Do Princy bags come in different sizes and materials? A: Yes. The Princy was produced in multiple sizes and in various materials, including GG canvas with leather trim and full leather versions. Dimensions and interior layouts can vary by edition, so always check the Measurements and product photos for the exact configuration of this piece. This one is in black textured leather with gold-tone hardware and the signature web stripe bow detail.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number and what does it indicate? A: Most Gucci handbags feature a heat-stamped serial number on the reverse of a small interior leather tag, often in two rows. The code is a style/production reference used by Gucci and is not a unique identifier that can authenticate a bag on its own. For this listing, the serial number is not specified in the product information; our team authenticates each item through a multi-point inspection and can share additional photos on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. For this piece, only the bag itself is included unless otherwise stated. If you need clarification on items like a dust bag or charms, please contact us and we will confirm what is included for this specific listing.
Q: How should I care for the black textured leather and the bow detail? A: Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. Keep the bag away from prolonged moisture and direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain shape, and take care not to snag the web bow. A quality leather conditioner can be used sparingly; always patch-test first.
Q: Can I add a longer strap to wear it crossbody? A: The design does not include dedicated hardware for a detachable long strap. Using third-party clips or adapters may mark the hardware or stress the leather, so we do not recommend modifying the bag for crossbody wear.
Q: What does the listed condition mean for this item? A: This pre-owned bag is graded Very Good. You can expect light, respectful wear consistent with the description: some rubbing on the strap, light scuffing at the corners, a clean interior with light signs of use, and shiny hardware with light scratches. Please review all photos to see the precise condition details.
Q: How do you authenticate this Gucci bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully examined by our in-house experts using material analysis, stitching and hardware checks, brand stamps and serial tags, and overall construction review. We stand behind the authenticity of each piece and are happy to provide additional information or imagery upon request.
