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 fits inside the Céline Classic Box Bag (Medium)? A: The Medium Classic Box (approx. 24 x 19 cm) is designed for daily essentials. It comfortably accommodates a large smartphone, a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, and a compact mirror. Due to its structured accordion design and internal dividers, bulky items like large sunglasses in hard cases may not fit comfortably.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable and removable? A: Yes, the flat leather strap is fully detachable, allowing you to carry the bag as an elegant clutch. It is also adjustable; while designed primarily for shoulder carry, it can often be worn as a high crossbody depending on your height and preference.
Q: What kind of leather is this bag made from? A: This model is typically crafted from smooth "Box" calfskin, known for its glossy, structured finish. It is a delicate leather that can show light scratches and scuffs with use; this sensitivity is characteristic of the material and helps develop a unique vintage patina over time.
Q: How do I open the bag? A: The Classic Box features a minimalist brass clasp. To open, simply press the small tab located underneath the rectangular metal plate on the front flap. It is a secure yet easy-to-access push-lock mechanism.
Q: What is the interior layout like? A: The interior is lined in soft leather and is highly organised. It features multiple compartments—typically two open sections and a zipped pocket—perfect for keeping your valuables separate and secure.
Q: How do I care for the hardware and leather? A: To maintain the shine of the box calfskin, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid contact with water, oils, and rough surfaces. The brass hardware may develop a natural antique patina; keep it dry and buff lightly if needed. Always store the bag upright in a dust bag when not in use.
Q: Where can I find the serial number and brand markings? A: Authentic Céline Classic Box bags feature a "CÉLINE" and "Made in Italy" heat stamp, usually found on the interior listing or the base of the flap. A serial code is typically embossed on a leather tab inside the zipped pocket. We verify these details on every piece we sell.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Our in-house experts conduct a rigorous multi-point inspection, checking the leather quality, stitching, hardware weight, logo typography, and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of every vintage piece in our collection.
