Ideal for the office and city weekends, Céline’s Small Tri-Fold in black grained leather pairs polished ease with everyday practicality. Dual top handles and a neatly organised three-compartment suede interior keep essentials in order, while silver-tone accents add quiet sophistication—perfect from morning meetings to dinner reservations.
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 are the dimensions and layout of the Small Tri‑Fold? A: This piece measures approximately 32 × 23 × 14 cm. Inside, it has three compartments for organised storage, with a zipped centre section and two open sections secured by leather tie closures. The lining is suede for a soft, premium finish.
Q: Does this model come with a shoulder strap? A: The Small Tri‑Fold is designed as a handheld tote with dual top handles and does not include a long shoulder or crossbody strap. Some other Tri‑Fold variants exist, but this configuration is top‑handle only.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: Everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, small water bottle, make‑up pouch, sunglasses and a charger fit comfortably. It can also take A4 documents or a slim notebook. A 13‑inch laptop in a slim sleeve may fit depending on the device and case; please compare your device to the measurements provided.
Q: How secure is the opening? A: The centre compartment has a zip for valuables, and the outer sections can be cinched with leather ties. For commuting or travel, we recommend storing important items in the zipped section and fastening the ties to keep the silhouette neat and secure.
Q: Is the Small Tri‑Fold heavy to carry? A: As a structured leather tote it has some substance, but owners often find it lighter than many comparable work totes. Weight will mainly depend on what you carry.
Q: When was the Tri‑Fold introduced, and is this a Phoebe Philo era design? A: The Tri‑Fold was introduced for Autumn/Winter 2016 during Phoebe Philo’s tenure. Many early pieces feature the Céline stamp with an accent; later items may show the updated Celine stamp. Both stamp styles can be authentic and vary by season and production run.
Q: How should I care for the grained leather and suede lining? A: Wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry naturally. Avoid oils, alcohol‑based cleaners and prolonged exposure to moisture or heat. For the suede lining, gently lift dust with a suede brush or a lint roller. Store the bag lightly filled in a breathable dust bag to maintain its shape and avoid overloading the handles.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. If a dust bag or other item is not noted there, it is not included with this listing.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, brand stamps and internal codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
