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 is the Céline Multifunction Card Holder in grained calfskin? A: It’s a slim, vintage Céline small leather good crafted in blue‑grey grained calfskin with a blue leather lining. This model features four external card slots and one central compartment. The approximate measurements are 14 x 10 x 0.5 cm (W x H x D). Please review our photos and description for the exact details of this piece.
Q: How many cards and notes can it hold? A: The four external slots comfortably hold one to two cards each (4–8 cards total), and the central compartment can carry additional cards, folded notes and receipts. Overall capacity is typically 8–12 cards depending on thickness. Most banknotes fit folded once; larger UK notes (e.g., £20/£50) should be folded to protect the edges.
Q: Does it have a coin pocket or any closure mechanism? A: No. This card holder has an open central compartment and no zip or snap closure. Coins are not recommended as they may slip out and can mark the leather; use a dedicated coin pouch if needed.
Q: Is the grained calfskin durable and how should I care for it? A: Grained calfskin is more resistant to surface scratches than smooth leather, but it still benefits from gentle care. Keep away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth and use a neutral leather conditioner sparingly on the exterior only. Avoid solvents or alcohol‑based cleaners. Store in the dust bag, stuffed lightly to maintain shape, away from colour‑transfer risks.
Q: Is this card holder unisex and will it fit in pockets? A: Yes—its minimalist design is unisex. With its slim profile (about 0.5 cm), it slips easily into most trouser and jacket pockets, and works well inside compact handbags or crossbody bags.
Q: Is it RFID‑blocking? A: Céline card holders are not typically designed with RFID‑blocking materials unless explicitly stated. If RFID protection is important to you, consider using an RFID sleeve or insert for specific cards inside the central compartment.
Q: What is the exact colour and why might it look different in photos? A: The listing notes a navy/blue‑grey hue with a blue lining. Colour perception can vary with lighting and screen settings; please refer to our high‑resolution photos to see the true tone and texture of this specific item.
Q: Where is it made and does it have a serial or style code? A: The country of origin label indicates France. Céline small leather goods typically feature a brand stamp and “Made in” marking; presence or placement of serial/style codes can vary by model and year. A Retro Tale authenticates every item through rigorous multi‑point checks beyond codes alone.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Please see the Accessories section and photos for inclusions; this listing shows a dust bag. If an accessory is not mentioned or pictured, it is not included.
Q: Can Céline or a specialist repair or customise it (e.g., add slots or monogramming)? A: Structural modifications like adding slots are not recommended and may not be offered by Céline. Minor repairs or edge touch‑ups may be possible through Céline boutiques or reputable leather specialists, subject to assessment, parts availability and fees. Third‑party embossing or alterations can affect resale value; consult a professional before any customisation.
