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 this Medium Macadam Tote? A: With approximate measurements of 35 × 30 × 11 cm, it comfortably holds A4 documents, a tablet or most 13-inch laptops in a slim sleeve, a long wallet, phone, a small cosmetics pouch and a 500 ml water bottle. Capacity varies by how you pack; please compare your items to the Measurements on this page for the best guidance.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder? A: Yes. The handle drop is approximately 21 cm, which generally allows for comfortable shoulder carry over light layers. Over bulkier coats it may feel snug, so please consider your typical outerwear.
Q: Does it have a secure closure? A: This model has an open top, which makes access easy. For added security, many clients use a zipped pouch or organiser for valuables and keep the bag upright when commuting.
Q: What is Céline’s Macadam canvas? A: Macadam refers to Céline’s heritage monogram canvas featuring interlocking Cs (also called the Triomphe or Blazon Chaîne motif). It is a coated canvas paired with leather trims, prized for being lightweight and durable with a classic vintage look.
Q: Is this bag water-resistant? A: The coated canvas is naturally water-resistant and wipes clean easily, but the bag is not fully waterproof and the leather trims can be sensitive to moisture. If caught in rain, blot dry promptly and allow to air-dry away from direct heat.
Q: How should I care for the materials? A: For coated canvas, wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh solvents, alcohol and acetone. For the leather trim, use a quality neutral leather conditioner sparingly and test first on a hidden area. Store stuffed to hold its shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from sunlight and heat. Avoid overfilling to prevent stress on handles and seams.
Q: Does this bag have a date code or serial number? A: Many Céline bags (especially vintage) have an internal code that indicates production details rather than a unique serial number. Placement and format vary by era and model. If present, it is often on a small leather tab inside. Our team checks these during authentication and can share close-up images on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. For this piece, no additional items are included unless specifically stated there.
Q: Where was it made, and is it vintage? A: This piece was made in Italy and is a vintage Céline tote finished in Macadam coated canvas with leather trims, showing light, age-appropriate signs of use consistent with the Very Good condition noted.
