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 the Céline Macadam Shoulder Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 32 × 19 × 7 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, an A5 diary, and an iPad mini or a slim 10-inch tablet placed horizontally. Capacity varies with individual organisers and cases, so please compare with the measurements provided.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable or suitable for crossbody wear? A: This piece has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 18 cm drop. It is designed for shoulder carry and is not intended for crossbody wear.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag features a buckle flap closure for added security, plus an internal zipped pocket to keep smaller valuables in place.
Q: What materials is this bag made from and how do they wear? A: The exterior is blue Macadam denim with brown leather trim and brass hardware, with a blue denim lining. Denim is a woven textile that softens slightly with use, while the leather develops a gentle patina over time. The Macadam (also known as Triomphe) motif is a longstanding Céline house monogram.
Q: How should I care for the denim and leather on this bag? A: For denim, regularly lint-roll and spot clean with a soft cloth, mild soap and cool water; let it air-dry away from heat. To minimise colour transfer, avoid prolonged friction against dark garments and consider a light fabric protector suitable for denim. For leather, wipe with a dry soft cloth and use a neutral leather conditioner sparingly. Store stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Q: Will denim cause colour transfer on clothing or vice versa? A: With any denim or darker textiles, some dye rub-off can occur, especially when new or when damp. Keep the bag away from freshly dyed or wet garments and avoid long periods of abrasion against light-coloured clothing.
Q: How do Céline date codes work and where might I find one on a vintage piece? A: Many Céline bags have an internal date code stamped on a leather tab or embossed into the lining. Codes are not unique identifiers and can repeat; formats vary by era, commonly letters followed by four numbers indicating production timing. As a vintage piece, the code may be faint from wear. Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated using multi-point checks; we can share close-up photos on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing includes the bag only. Everything included is shown under the product information on this page; if a dust bag or card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: External: good with light signs of use and a visible scuff on one corner. Interior: very good with light use. Hardware: shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for full details.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: Italy, as indicated on the country of origin label.
