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 Crossbody Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 25 × 20 × 7 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, compact or continental wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, passport, and cardholder. A slim 500 ml water bottle can fit horizontally, and an iPad mini may fit without a bulky case depending on orientation. Capacity varies by how you pack—please compare with the Measurements listed on this page.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and suitable for crossbody wear? A: Yes. The single flat strap is adjustable, with an approximate drop of 43 cm as listed. This is ideal for shoulder wear and may work as a short crossbody on some frames; please compare the drop to your preferred fit.
Q: Is Céline’s Macadam canvas water-resistant? A: The Macadam material is a coated canvas that is durable and resists light rain and surface marks, but it is not fully waterproof. Wipe off moisture promptly and avoid prolonged exposure to water or oils to preserve the finish.
Q: How should I care for the canvas, leather trim and lining? A: For coated canvas, wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth; for deeper cleans, use a diluted, gentle cleaner suitable for coated fabrics. For the leather trim and lining, keep dry, avoid alcohol-based wipes, and condition sparingly with a quality leather cream to prevent drying or cracking. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and direct sunlight, and avoid colour transfer from dark textiles.
Q: Where is the date code on vintage Céline bags, and what does it mean? A: Many vintage Céline bags have a date code heat-stamped on a small leather tab inside the main compartment or pocket. Céline uses date codes (not unique serial numbers); formats have varied by era and can repeat. Some vintage pieces may have faint or missing codes—absence alone does not indicate inauthenticity.
Q: What era is the Macadam motif from? A: The Macadam monogram is a classic Céline pattern most associated with the late 1980s to 1990s, seen on coated-canvas styles with leather trim like this vintage piece.
Q: Does this item come with a dust bag, box or any extras? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this item, no additional items are listed.
Q: What is the exact condition of this bag? A: It is graded Good. The leather trim shows scuffing and marks; the interior shows a light trace of use; the gold-tone hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review all photos for close-ups before purchase.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes. We guarantee the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: The country of origin label states Italy.
