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 this Céline Macadam Pouch? A: With approximate measurements of 17 × 11 × 7 cm, it suits everyday essentials such as most standard smartphones, a small cardholder or compact wallet, keys, lip balm or lipstick, compact mirror, and small items like earbuds or a travel-size hand sanitiser. Larger phones near 16.5 cm in length may be a snug fit due to the curved zip—please compare your device to the measurements.
Q: Is the Macadam canvas water-resistant and durable? A: Yes. Macadam/Triomphe canvas is a coated canvas designed to be lightweight, hard-wearing, and resistant to light moisture and surface scratches. It is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof; avoid soaking and wipe away any moisture promptly. The leather trim is not water-resistant and should be kept dry.
Q: How should I clean and care for the exterior? A: For the coated canvas, wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a little mild soap if needed, then pat dry. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol-based wipes, bleach, or abrasive sponges as these can damage the coating. Keep away from prolonged heat or direct sunlight. For the tan leather trim, use a neutral leather conditioner very sparingly and always test on a discreet area first.
Q: What about the interior and hardware care? A: For the tan leather lining, dust with a soft dry cloth and avoid liquid cleaners. If needed, gently spot clean with a barely damp cloth and allow to air dry away from heat. For gold-tone hardware, use a clean, dry microfibre cloth; avoid metal polishes that can remove plating.
Q: Can I use it as a clutch as well as a cosmetic pouch? A: Absolutely. This vintage pouch works well as a compact clutch for minimal essentials, a cosmetics case, or an organiser inside a larger bag. Its structured coated canvas keeps contents tidy and protected.
Q: Does this item come with any extras? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, there are no additional items included.
Q: Where was this item made? A: The country of origin for this specific piece is listed as France. Vintage Céline production took place in both France and Italy depending on the era and model, so origin may vary across different vintage items.
Q: Does it have a serial or date code and where might it be located? A: Many vintage Céline pieces carry an alphanumeric code stamped on a small leather tab or directly on the lining. Code formats varied by era, and some small leather goods may not have easily visible codes. The presence or absence of a code alone does not determine authenticity; our team assesses multiple details in combination.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every piece is carefully examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and logos, and date codes where applicable. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further product information or photos on request.
Q: Any storage tips for longevity? A: Store the pouch loosely stuffed to maintain its shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid plastic covers, which can trap moisture. Allow the interior to air out occasionally to minimise any vintage odour.
