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: How does the Céline Boogie Bag carry and does it fit on the shoulder? A: With a handle drop of approximately 10 cm, the Boogie is designed for hand carry or the crook of the arm. Most users will find it too short to wear comfortably on the shoulder, especially over outerwear.
Q: What typically fits inside this Boogie Bag? A: At around 33 × 20 × 14 cm, it holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses case, a small cosmetics pouch, a small notebook or e‑reader, and a 500 ml water bottle laid horizontally. It’s a practical everyday size without being bulky.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag has an open-top design with a central zipped compartment that creates three sections for easy organisation. There are also two practical exterior side pockets for items you need at hand.
Q: How secure is the open-top design? A: Daily use is secure when valuable items are placed in the central zipped compartment. For added peace of mind on public transport, consider using small pouches or a slim organiser and keep the bag close to your body.
Q: Is the Boogie Bag still in production? A: The Boogie is a vintage Céline style most associated with the early‑2000s era. It is no longer part of the brand’s current collections and is found primarily on the pre‑owned market, with occasional special or archive references appearing over the years.
Q: What materials does this specific bag feature? A: This piece is crafted from black grained leather with gold‑tone hardware and a black suede lining. The structured leather holds its shape well while the suede interior adds a soft, luxurious touch.
Q: How should I care for grained leather and suede lining? A: Wipe the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately; avoid harsh cleaners and prolonged sun or heat exposure. For the suede lining, use a clean, dry suede brush to lift light marks; for spills, blot (don’t rub) and allow to air dry before brushing. Always store stuffed loosely in a breathable dust bag, away from colour‑transfer risks.
Q: How can I verify authenticity on a vintage Céline Boogie? A: Look for quality of leather and stitching, crisp Céline heat‑stamps and logo fonts, appropriately signed hardware, and an interior date code stamped on a leather tab. Date code formats vary by era and typically combine letters (factory) and numbers (week/year). If in doubt, use a reputable authentication service.
Q: What is included in the product information for this listing? A: This listing shows no additional items included. Everything that comes with the bag is detailed in the product information section on this page.
Q: Will it fit a laptop or tablet? A: Slim tablets and e‑readers fit comfortably. A 13‑inch laptop is generally too large for this style due to the height and open‑top structure; smaller devices are recommended.
