Perfect for spring-to-summer escapes—think city markets, coastal lunches and relaxed garden parties—this Céline Raffia Crécy bucket bag adds effortless bohemian elegance to daytime looks. Woven raffia with tan leather trim pairs beautifully with linens and denim, while the adjustable shoulder strap keeps you stylishly hands-free from brunch to sunset.
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 Raffia Crécy Bucket Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 22 × 15 × 15 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetic pouch and, if packed upright, a 500 ml water bottle. Capacity depends on how you organise items—using small pouches helps maintain the bag’s shape and protects the unlined interior.
Q: Is the strap suitable for shoulder or crossbody wear? A: The bag features a single adjustable leather strap with an approximate 45 cm drop. It is primarily designed for shoulder carry; crossbody wear may sit higher on most frames depending on adjustment and height.
Q: Does it have a closure or lining? A: This model has an open top and an unlined interior. We recommend using a zip pouch for small valuables and cosmetics to keep things secure and the interior clean.
Q: How durable is raffia for everyday use? A: Raffia is a lightweight, naturally strong fibre that’s well suited to light daily use. Like all woven materials, it prefers moderate loads and gentle handling. Avoid overfilling and frequent abrasion against rough surfaces to preserve the weave and shape.
Q: How should I clean and care for the raffia and leather trim? A: Dust gently with a soft brush or cloth. For minor marks on the raffia, lightly dab with a cloth dampened in cool water and a touch of mild soap, then air-dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not soak. Trim occasional flyaway fibres carefully with small scissors. Condition the leather trims sparingly with a suitable leather product, and store the bag stuffed with acid‑free tissue in a breathable dust bag.
Q: Is it rain-safe? A: Natural raffia and leather do not fare well with moisture. Avoid rain; if the bag gets damp, blot immediately with a dry, light-coloured cloth and allow it to dry naturally in a cool, ventilated place—never use a hairdryer or place near direct heat.
Q: Will the woven raffia snag clothing? A: The weave is generally smooth but, as with any straw or raffia bag, there is a small risk of snagging on delicate fabrics like lace or loose knits. Take care when wearing with such materials and avoid rubbing against abrasive surfaces.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This specific piece is sold with no accessories. Everything included is listed under the Accessories section; if a dust bag or extras are not listed, they are not included.
Q: What is the condition of this bag and how do you authenticate it? A: Overall condition is Very Good with light traces of use; hardware is shiny with light scratches. As with all items at A Retro Tale, it undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, including checks of materials, stitching, hardware and brand markings. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
