Perfect for polished workdays and weekend city strolls, this medium Céline Luggage Phantom in beige grained leather with gold-tone accents elevates meetings, brunch or gallery visits. Carried by dual top handles with an open tie closure for easy access, its neutral hue pairs effortlessly with tailoring or denim.
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 size is this Medium Céline Luggage Phantom and what typically fits inside? A: This piece measures approximately 27 × 30 × 23 cm with a handle drop of about 13 cm. It comfortably carries everyday essentials such as an A4 document folder, tablet, long wallet, cosmetics pouch, water bottle and a compact umbrella. Many slim 13-inch laptops may fit horizontally, but please compare your device’s dimensions to the internal space for certainty.
Q: Does the Phantom come with a shoulder strap or allow crossbody wear? A: No. The Luggage Phantom is designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm via its rolled top handles; it does not include a shoulder or crossbody strap. Among Luggage styles, only the smaller Nano version is commonly offered with a long strap.
Q: Is the Phantom still produced by Céline? A: The classic Phantom was discontinued for a period but has seen a recent revival on runways and in editorials. Availability of current iterations can vary by season and boutique, while the pre-loved market remains the most reliable source for earlier versions like this one.
Q: How does the bag close and how secure is it? A: The Phantom has an open top with a leather tie-belt closure and an interior zipped pocket for valuables. There is no top zip; for added security we recommend using small pouches and fastening the leather tie when carrying.
Q: What are the key differences between the Luggage and the Luggage Phantom? A: The Phantom features a larger, more expansive silhouette with wide “wings,” an open top with leather tie, and the signature front zip with braided pull. Standard Luggage totes are more structured, typically with a top zip and no tie-belt closure. Only the Nano Luggage generally includes a long strap.
Q: What is the interior like—does the Phantom always have suede lining? A: Many Phantom bags are lined in suede, including this example which has a brown suede interior with one zip pocket. Linings and small details can vary by material and season, so slight differences are normal across years of production.
Q: Where can I find the Céline date code and how do I read it? A: The date code is usually stamped on a small leather tab inside the bag (often along a seam or near/inside the interior pocket). Céline uses a date code format like X-XX-#### indicating factory and production timing (week/year). It is a date code rather than a unique serial number, so identical codes can appear on different items.
Q: How should I care for the grained calfskin and suede lining? A: Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, dry cloth. Keep the bag away from water, oils, prolonged direct light/heat and abrasive surfaces. To minimise colour transfer on this light beige leather, avoid contact with dark or damp fabrics. When not in use, store the bag lightly stuffed in its breathable dust bag and avoid overfilling to preserve its shape.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This bag comes with a dust bag. Everything included is listed under Accessories; if something (such as an authenticity card or box) is not listed, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, construction, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
