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 Nano Luggage? A: Daily essentials such as a smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, small cosmetics pouch, and slim sunglasses in a soft sleeve generally fit. Many users also carry an e‑reader or small tablet (e.g., iPad mini). For certainty, compare your items with the Measurements on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check against this exact bag.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? A: The Nano usually accommodates compact tablets like an iPad mini. Full‑size tablets and laptops do not fit comfortably. Please compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements listed or contact us and we’ll check the fit for this specific piece.
Q: Does it come with a crossbody strap, and is it adjustable? A: The Nano Luggage typically includes a detachable long strap for shoulder or crossbody wear. Adjustability and exact drop can vary by season and year; we’ll list strap details under Measurements/Accessories. If a strap isn’t shown there, it isn’t included with this particular item—feel free to ask us to confirm.
Q: Are the top handles shoulder‑friendly? A: The top handles are designed primarily for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry and are generally too short for most wearers to use on the shoulder. The crossbody/shoulder strap is intended for hands‑free wear.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: The Nano typically features a zip‑top main compartment for secure closure, an interior zip pocket and slip pocket, plus a small exterior front zip pocket for quick‑access items. Pocket layout can vary slightly by era; please review our photos and description for the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: What materials and lining does the Nano Luggage come in? A: Common executions include smooth calfskin and grained (drummed) calfskin, with textile or leather linings depending on season and colourway. Hardware is usually gold‑tone or silver‑tone. Our listing specifies the exact leather, lining and hardware finish for this item.
Q: How should I care for smooth vs grained (drummed) calfskin? A: Keep leather away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer (especially with light colours against dark denim). Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use. Condition smooth leather very sparingly with a neutral, high‑quality product (test first on a discreet area); grained calfskin is a touch more forgiving but should still be treated lightly. Avoid overfilling to preserve structure, and store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag with the strap/handles protected from imprinting on the leather.
Q: Is the Céline Nano Luggage still produced? What’s the difference between “CÉLINE” and “CELINE” logos? A: The Nano Luggage remains an ongoing house icon, though colours, leathers and hardware can vary by season and availability. Pre‑2018 pieces typically carry the “CÉLINE” logo with an accent; more recent releases show “CELINE” without the accent. Both are authentic for their respective eras.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Céline bags feature a heat‑stamp (e.g., “CELINE Paris” and country of origin) inside. Older pieces include an internal serial/date code (often on or near an interior seam or leather tab), while more recent releases may incorporate an embedded microchip instead of a visible code. Placement and format vary by era—contact us if you’d like close‑up photos for this item.
Q: Where is it made? A: Most Nano Luggage bags are made in Italy. Our listing states the origin for this specific piece, and interior branding will reflect the country of manufacture.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Any included items (e.g., dust bag, detachable strap, box) are listed under “Accessories.” If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—please ask us to confirm. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial code/microchip and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
