An elegant choice for gallery openings, brunch dates and dinners, this vintage Céline Strap Box Bag lends quiet polish. Crafted in brown leather with contrast stitching and gold‑tone hardware, it features a foldable top and a single flat wrist strap to carry the essentials with ease.
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 Strap Box Bag? A: With an approximate size of 14 × 11 × 6 cm, it comfortably carries small daily essentials such as a cardholder, keys, lipstick, compact mirror and folded notes. Some smaller smartphones may fit depending on model and case thickness. Capacity will vary with how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the wrist strap removable or adjustable? A: This vintage piece features a single fixed wrist strap with an approximate 15 cm drop. It is not designed to be detached or length‑adjusted.
Q: How does the closure work, and is there a zip? A: It has a fold‑over top closure that is quick to open and close for easy access. There is no top zip on this style; the structured silhouette helps keep contents secure when the flap is closed.
Q: What type of leather is this, and how does it wear over time? A: The bag is crafted from smooth brown leather with contrast stitching. Smooth/box‑calf style leathers have a polished look and may show light surface marks more readily than grained leathers; with gentle use and care, they tend to develop a refined patina over time.
Q: How should I care for the leather? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear and use a small amount of neutral leather conditioner occasionally to keep the leather supple. Avoid heavy rain, oils and prolonged direct sunlight. Store the bag loosely filled, in its dust bag, and allow it to air in a cool, dry place. Minor surface scuffs can often be reduced by gently buffing with a clean microfibre cloth.
Q: Where was this item made? A: The origin label indicates Italy.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number or date code? A: Céline typically uses internal date codes rather than unique serial numbers. Placement varies by model and year (commonly on a leather tab or inside a pocket). This listing does not display a serial/date code in the product information; nonetheless, our authentication is based on multiple factors beyond codes alone.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece comes with a dust bag. Everything included is listed under the product information section; if an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is carefully examined by our in‑house experts using a multi‑point process that reviews materials, construction, stamps and markings, hardware, and model‑specific details. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
Q: Any tips to minimise wear on corners and hardware? A: Avoid overfilling, rotate carry to reduce friction on corners, and store with the flap closed and hardware wrapped in a soft cloth when not in use. Handle the clasp and edges with clean, dry hands to reduce micro‑scratches and colour transfer.
