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 Sangle Seau Large? A: As a large bucket bag, it comfortably carries daily essentials and more: a full‑size wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses in a case, cosmetics pouch, a 500 ml water bottle, compact umbrella, A5 diary, and an A4 folder. It can also accommodate most 13-inch laptops (see below for details). For certainty, compare your items with this bag’s Measurements (approx. 32 x 28 x 17 cm) or ask us for a tailored fit check.
Q: Will it fit a laptop or documents? A: Most 13-inch laptops and A4 documents fit well; some slim 14-inch devices may also fit, while 15-inch models are generally too large. Due to the open‑top design with a hook closure, we recommend placing laptops in a protective sleeve. If you’d like, we can perform a quick fit test for this exact piece.
Q: Is the strap adjustable, and can I wear it crossbody? A: The Sangle Seau features a single wide removable canvas shoulder strap that is not adjustable. This piece’s strap drop is approx. 24 cm, ideal for shoulder carry. It doesn’t wear as a standard crossbody unless you add a longer compatible strap (not included). We don’t recommend heavy aftermarket hardware that could mark the rings or stress the leather.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: The bag has an open‑top design with an internal hook/clip closure for quick yet secure everyday use. This piece includes four exterior flat pockets, plus a tonal suede interior with one zipped pocket and one flat pocket. For valuables, we suggest using the interior zipped pocket or a small pouch inside.
Q: Is the wide strap comfortable? Does it slip? A: The broad woven strap is designed to distribute weight and enhance comfort on the shoulder. Its textured finish typically offers better grip than smooth leather straps, though slip can vary depending on clothing fabrics and how full the bag is.
Q: What materials and hardware does this bag have? A: This piece is crafted in taupe/grey grained calfskin with gold‑tone hardware and a tonal suede lining, made in Italy. Grained leather is known for being relatively resilient to light surface scratches while maintaining a luxurious look and feel.
Q: How should I care for the grained leather and suede lining? A: • Keep the leather away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight; be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim, especially on lighter tones. • Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth; condition smooth leather sparingly with a neutral product after testing on a discreet area. • For the suede lining, avoid liquids; gently shake out debris and use a clean lint roller or very soft brush. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid the strap pressing into the leather to prevent imprints.
Q: Is the Sangle Seau Large still produced? A: Availability can vary by season and size; the Large is often harder to find in boutiques. The pre‑loved market is the best way to source specific colours and configurations like this one.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how do you authenticate? A: Authentic Céline/CELINE bags feature an interior heat‑stamp (e.g., “CÉLINE Paris” or later “CELINE Paris”) and a serial/date code typically found on or near an interior leather tab or seam. Placement and format vary by era. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and codes—we stand behind the authenticity of all pieces we sell.
Q: What accessories are included and what is the condition of this specific piece? A: Accessories: no accessories are included with this item unless stated—this piece comes with none. Condition: Good pre‑loved condition with scuffing at the corners and minor exterior marks; the interior shows stains and marks; hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review our photos and contact us for any additional details or close‑ups.
