Perfect for polished days and candle‑lit evenings, this vintage Céline Triomphe in black leather with gold‑tone hardware sits elegantly on the shoulder, elevating tailored or casual looks. Multiple compartments keep essentials organised from desk to dinner.
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: Is this Céline Vintage Classic Triomphe a shoulder or crossbody bag? A: It is designed as a shoulder bag with a single flat strap. The listed strap drop is approximately 30 cm (adjustable), which is typically too short for true crossbody wear for most people. Please use the Measurements on this page to gauge your preferred fit.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 24.5 × 19 × 7 cm, it holds daily essentials such as a large smartphone, small wallet, keys, and a few cosmetics. An iPhone 15 Pro Max fits comfortably. An iPad mini (6th gen) does not fit under the flap due to the bag’s 19 cm height. Use the interior zipped pocket for valuables and the other compartments to organise smaller items.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag features a flap with the signature Triomphe logo closure. For added security, store smaller valuables in the interior zipped pocket and avoid overfilling so the flap closes cleanly.
Q: Is the leather prone to scratches? A: Vintage smooth/shiny calf leathers can show light surface marks with wear. This is normal for the material and contributes to a gentle patina over time. Minor hairline marks can often be reduced by gently buffing with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive surfaces and prolonged friction to minimise new scratches.
Q: How should I care for and store this vintage leather bag? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use. Keep away from moisture, oils, hand sanitisers, and direct heat or sunlight. If the bag becomes lightly wet, pat dry and allow it to air dry naturally. Store it loosely stuffed to maintain shape, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid over-conditioning; consult a leather care professional for deeper cleaning or colour touch-ups.
Q: Does this item come with any additional items? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this listing, no additional items are included. If you need clarification, please contact us before purchasing.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number or date code? A: Céline uses date codes rather than unique serial numbers, and placement/format varies by era and style. Some vintage pieces may have faint or hard-to-locate codes, and not every vintage bag will have one that is easily visible. Our specialists authenticate each item through a multi-point review beyond date codes alone.
Q: What is the story behind the Triomphe logo on the clasp? A: The Triomphe motif was inspired by the chained surrounds of Paris’s Arc de Triomphe in the early 1970s and has since become one of the house’s defining symbols. It was re-emphasised in recent collections and remains a hallmark of Céline design.
Q: Can the strap be removed or replaced? A: The strap on this vintage model is fixed and designed to be worn on the shoulder, with small adjustments available via its buckle/holes. We do not recommend altering the original construction; any modifications should be performed only by a trusted leather specialist if you choose to make changes.
