Q: What can it hold day to day? A: With approximate measurements of 40 × 24 × 7 cm, it comfortably fits a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, a small cosmetics pouch, a compact umbrella and a small tablet (up to around 10 inches). A4 papers can fit when placed horizontally (not in a rigid folder). A 13-inch laptop is generally not recommended due to the slim 7 cm depth and curved hobo opening—please compare with your device’s dimensions.

Q: How can I wear it? A: It has a single flat top handle with a 13 cm drop for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry, plus a detachable braided shoulder strap with an approximately 43 cm drop for comfortable shoulder wear. It is not designed for crossbody use.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The main compartment is secured by a horsebit lock closure at the top, offering quick access while keeping everyday essentials secure. Please refer to the photos for the exact closure detail.
Q: What is Guccissima leather? A: Guccissima is genuine leather embossed with Gucci’s interlocking GG motif. The pattern was introduced in 2006 and the textured finish helps disguise light surface marks compared with smooth leather while retaining a luxurious feel.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use; avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, heat and moisture; allow any moisture to air‑dry naturally; do not overfill to preserve the hobo shape; store stuffed in a breathable dust bag; use a specialist leather conditioner sparingly and avoid harsh cleaners. Gently buff hardware with a soft cloth only.
Q: Is this a vintage piece and which era does it relate to? A: Yes. The Horsebit hobo silhouette rose to prominence in the mid‑2000s, and Guccissima leather debuted in 2006, placing this style within that era. This piece was crafted in Italy.
Q: Does this bag have a serial/style code? A: Most Gucci handbags from the 1990s onward include a two‑row numeric style/serial code heat‑stamped on the reverse of the interior leather tag. When present, we photograph it as part of the product information—contact us if you would like us to confirm the code for this item.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable or replaceable? A: The braided shoulder strap included with this piece is detachable but not adjustable. You can also carry the bag by its fixed top handle.
Q: What exactly is included? A: Everything included with the item is listed under product information. For this piece, a detachable shoulder strap is included. A dust bag, box or cards are only included if specifically stated there.
Q: What does the condition grade mean for this item? A: This bag is in very good pre‑owned condition. The exterior leather shows scuffing on the corners and handle; the interior shows a light trace of use; and the gold‑tone hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for close‑ups.
