This Céline Solo Pouch in light blue and burgundy leather with gold-tone hardware is in like-new condition. Ideal for cocktails, gallery openings or slipping into a tote for travel, it keeps the essentials organised in a light blue leather-lined main compartment with a secure top zip.
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 Solo Pouch? A: With approximate dimensions of 25 x 17.5 x 1.5 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), a slim cardholder or compact wallet, keys, lipstick, passport, and small essentials like AirPods and receipts. Slim sunglasses in a soft sleeve may fit. A full‑length continental wallet can fit but will reduce remaining space and may make the pouch feel bulky. Please refer to the Measurements on this page or contact us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or e‑reader? A: An iPad mini (approx. 19.5 cm tall) is generally too tall for this pouch. Many 6–7 inch e‑readers can fit if they’re in a slim or no case. For certainty, compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements provided or ask us to perform a quick fit test for this item.
Q: Does it come with a strap or wristlet? Can I wear it crossbody? A: The Solo Pouch is designed as a handheld clutch/organiser with a top zip and no shoulder strap. It isn’t intended for crossbody wear. Everything included with this piece is listed under “Accessories”—for this item, we note dust bag, brand booklet and tags.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: It features a top zip closure for good day‑to‑day security. The interior is leather‑lined with a single main compartment (no built‑in pockets). For very small items like coins, we recommend using a tiny zip pouch inside to keep things organised.
Q: How can I use the Solo Pouch day to day? A: It works beautifully as an evening clutch, a minimalist daily carry, or an organiser inside a larger tote for travel documents, tech accessories or cosmetics. Its slim profile slides easily into most handbags and travel bags.
Q: What materials and finish does this piece have? A: This listing specifies light blue and burgundy lambskin leather, gold‑tone hardware and a light blue leather lining with a single main compartment and top zip closure. The interior stamp indicates the country of origin as France. Our photos show the exact colours and finishes for this item.
Q: How should I care for lambskin and the two‑tone colourway? A: Lambskin is supple and can mark more easily than grained leathers. Keep it away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer—especially from dark denim onto lighter shades like the light blue. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; if conditioning is desired, use a high‑quality neutral product very sparingly and test on an inconspicuous area first. Store the pouch lightly padded to maintain shape, zip closed, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid pressing the zipper teeth or hardware against the leather to minimise imprints.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Céline pieces feature a “CELINE” heat stamp with the country of origin (this item is stamped France). Many have an internal series code on or near a small leather tab; placement and format can vary by era and model. We’re happy to provide close‑up photos and help interpret the markings for this exact piece.
Q: Is the Céline Solo Pouch still produced? A: Availability can vary by season; many Solo Pouch configurations are past‑season. The pre‑loved market is often the best way to find specific colourways like this bi‑colour lambskin version.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Included items are listed under “Accessories.” For this piece, we note a dust bag, brand booklet and tags. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps, codes and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
