An effortless choice for coffee runs, gallery afternoons or weekend city breaks, this vintage Céline Macadam shoulder bag lends classic brown tones to casual layers. The single strap sits comfortably on the shoulder, while the secure flap-and-buckle closure keeps essentials in check from day to dusk.
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 approximate dimensions of 35 × 23 × 8 cm, it comfortably holds A4 documents, an 11-inch tablet, a long wallet, phone, keys and a small cosmetics pouch. A slim 13-inch laptop may fit horizontally, but we recommend a protective sleeve and avoiding heavy loads to preserve the strap and shape.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can it be worn crossbody? A: This model has a single, fixed-length leather shoulder strap with an approximate 25 cm drop. It is designed for shoulder carry and is not intended to be worn crossbody.
Q: What is Macadam canvas? A: Macadam is Céline’s heritage monogram canvas featuring repeating double‑C motifs in a honeycomb layout, usually paired with smooth leather trim. It is lightweight and durable with a coated finish, making it well suited to everyday use.
Q: Where is the date code and what if there isn’t one? A: On many Céline bags the date code is embossed on a small leather tab or along a pocket seam inside. Formats vary by era, and some older vintage pieces may have faint, inconsistent or absent codes. Authentication never relies on a single code; construction, materials, stamps and hardware are also assessed.
Q: How should I care for the coated canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid alcohol-based products, solvents and abrasive cleaners. Condition the leather trim sparingly with a neutral leather conditioner, and keep the bag away from oils and prolonged sunlight. Store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag.
Q: Is the bag water-resistant? A: The coated canvas offers light water resistance, but the leather trim and interior are not waterproof. If it gets wet, blot with a soft cloth and allow to air dry at room temperature. Avoid heavy or prolonged moisture exposure.
Q: What closure and interior features does this piece have? A: It features a flap top with a buckle fastening for secure carry, a brown fabric lining and one internal pocket to organise smaller items.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: Overall good vintage condition. The strap and leather trim show scuffing; the canvas has stains and discolouration; the lining has visible stains; and the hardware shows light scratches with some discolouration. Please refer to the photos for full details.
Q: Does this item come with accessories? A: No accessories are included with this piece. Everything that comes with the item is listed in the Accessories section.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is examined by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes where present. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can provide additional photos or details on request.
