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 this Céline Horse Carriage bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 22 × 16 × 6 cm and two internal compartments, it comfortably holds a smartphone, small wallet, keys, cardholder, lipstick and slim sunglasses in a soft pouch. Capacity depends on how you pack; please refer to the Measurements for exact sizing.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: This example has a single fixed shoulder strap with an approximate 20 cm drop, designed to sit neatly under the arm. For most heights it will wear as a shoulder bag rather than a crossbody.
Q: How does the Horse Carriage closure work? A: It is a push‑lock. To open, press the centre of the carriage clasp and lift the flap. To close, lower the flap and press gently until it clicks. Avoid overfilling the bag so the flap and lock align without strain.
Q: Is this style vintage and what is the “Horse Carriage” (Sulky) logo? A: Yes, this is a vintage Céline design featuring the house’s equestrian “horse‑and‑carriage” motif, also called the Sulky logo. The emblem dates to the late 1960s and became a signature through the 1970s–80s, with periodic revivals in later collections.
Q: Does the bag have a serial number or date code? A: Céline bags typically carry date codes rather than unique serial numbers. On vintage pieces the format and placement can vary or be faint; some older items may not have a clearly visible code. Presence or absence of a code alone is not a definitive indicator of authenticity.
Q: What is included in the product information for this listing? A: A dust bag is included. Everything that comes with the item is listed in the product information section; if an item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How should I care for the smooth black leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth after use. For deeper cleaning, use a leather‑specific cleaner sparingly and allow the bag to air‑dry away from heat. Store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity; avoid plastic storage as it can trap moisture.
Q: How do I look after the gold‑tone hardware? A: Buff lightly with a dry, non‑abrasive cloth to maintain shine and avoid metal polishes that can strip plated finishes. If deeper cleaning or polishing is desired, we recommend a professional leather‑goods care service.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or removable? A: No. This model’s strap is fixed and not designed for removal or extension. Adding third‑party extenders or clips can stress the leather and hardware and is not advised.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes, cross‑referenced with model‑specific references. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
