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 head size does the S fit, and how do I measure correctly? A: Size S is suitable for approximately 55–59 cm head circumferences on this adjustable design. To measure, wrap a soft tape around your head about 1 cm above the ears and across the centre of your forehead, keeping the tape level and snug but not tight. If you are between sizes, choose the looser setting for comfort.
Q: Is the fit adjustable and secure? A: Yes. The cap features a back strap with a gold‑tone buckle, allowing micro‑adjustments for a secure yet comfortable fit. Adjust until the cap sits low on the forehead without pressure marks and does not move when you gently shake your head.
Q: How should I clean this cap? A: Spot clean with a mild soap solution and cool water, working on the stained areas only. Avoid soaking the cap, especially the textured C patch and metal buckle. After cleaning, reshape the crown and air‑dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
Q: Can I machine‑wash or use a dishwasher? A: We do not recommend it. Machine or dishwasher cycles can distort the brim, cause colour bleeding on dark cotton, and stress the textured patch. Hand cleaning is the safest approach; if a deeper clean is needed, use a gentle hand wash in cold water and air‑dry.
Q: Will the navy colour transfer or fade? A: Dark cotton dyes can bleed if exposed to hot water, harsh detergents, or if left damp. Test colourfastness on an inconspicuous area before any deeper clean, avoid prolonged sun exposure, and always air‑dry in the shade.
Q: Is the textured C patch delicate? A: The raised, textured patch should be treated with care. Avoid abrasive scrubbing or snagging on rough surfaces. When cleaning near the patch, dab gently rather than rub, and keep heat sources away to preserve its texture.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As indicated in the product information, this listing includes the cap only. No additional items are included unless specifically stated on this page.
Q: What is the condition of this piece? A: It is in Like New Condition inside and out. The hardware is shiny with light surface scratches only, consistent with minimal handling.
Q: Where was this cap made? A: The country of origin label for this specific piece is Italy. Production locations can vary by season and model within CELINE’s collections.
Q: How should I store the cap to keep its shape? A: Store on a hook or shelf away from direct sunlight. Avoid stacking caps; instead, stuff the crown lightly with tissue to help maintain its form, and keep it in a cool, dry place.
