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 is Celine’s Macadam canvas, and how does it relate to Triomphe? A: Macadam is the vintage name commonly used for Celine’s historic monogram canvas first revealed in the early 1970s. Today the house refers to this motif as Triomphe, a link pattern inspired by the chain around the Arc de Triomphe. The pouch you’re viewing features this heritage canvas with tan leather trim.
Q: Is the canvas water‑resistant and easy to care for? A: Yes. Macadam/Triomphe is a coated canvas, so it is generally lightweight, durable and water‑resistant. Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soap if needed, then dry gently. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol-based cleaners or abrasive scrubbing, and keep the leather trim away from excessive moisture.
Q: Will the leather trim or lining change over time? A: Natural leather may develop a gentle patina and small marks with regular use—this is part of the character of vintage pieces. Condition the leather occasionally with a suitable neutral leather cream, keep it away from prolonged sunlight or heat, and avoid colour transfer from dark denim or similar fabrics.
Q: Does this pouch have a date or serial code, and where might it be? A: Many Celine pieces carry a small embossed date code made up of letters and numbers. On vintage items it’s often on a leather tab inside the main compartment or along a seam. Formats vary by era and are not unique identifiers; presence or absence of a code alone does not determine authenticity.
Q: What typically fits inside a pouch measuring about 17 × 11 × 7 cm? A: Everyday small essentials such as a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lip balm or lipstick, travel‑size hand sanitiser, earbuds and a few cosmetics. Larger smartphones or bulky cases may fit depending on how you pack; please refer to the measurements to be sure.
Q: Does it come with a strap, dust bag or extras? A: This model is a simple top‑zip pouch with one main compartment and no strap. Everything included with this item is listed in the product information. If a dust bag or other extras are not listed there, they are not included.
Q: Can Celine repair or service a vintage pouch like this (e.g., a zip replacement)? A: Celine boutiques can arrange an assessment and advise on available repairs; acceptance, timing and costs depend on the item’s condition and parts availability. If an official repair isn’t possible, reputable luxury bag care specialists can handle cleaning and many common restorations.
Q: How should I store and care for this pouch long‑term? A: Store it loosely stuffed to support its shape, in a breathable dust bag, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not overfill or fold the canvas. Allow the interior to air out between uses; for any odour concerns, let it breathe in a shaded, well‑ventilated area and use passive odour absorbers (like charcoal sachets) rather than spraying perfumes inside.
Q: Can coated canvas crack or peel with age? A: Coated canvas is robust, but prolonged dryness, heavy friction, sharp creasing or high heat can cause the coating to wear over many years. Prevent this by avoiding over‑stuffing, keeping it away from radiators or hot car interiors, and cleaning gently rather than scrubbing.
