Spacious and refined, it holds your daily essentials, with dual rolled handles, zipped pockets and a bridge clasp for practical carry. An elegant choice for work, travel and chic errands.
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 Luggage Phantom? A: With approximate measurements of 30 × 28 × 26 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, make-up pouch, small water bottle and an A5 notebook/diary. Folders and large envelopes fit; a slim 13-inch laptop may fit without a bulky sleeve, but please compare your device to the Measurements shown here to be sure and avoid sharp corners against the suede.
Q: How does this bag close and how many pockets does it have? A: The Luggage Phantom is an open-top tote secured by a pull-through strap/bridge clasp. It typically features one zipped pocket inside and one zipped pocket on the front for quick-access items.
Q: Is there a shoulder strap? A: No. The Phantom is designed to be carried by its dual rolled handles, either by hand or in the crook of the arm.
Q: How does the Phantom differ from the standard Luggage tote? A: Key differences include an open top with strap closure (versus the Luggage’s zip top), wider flared side “wings” and a braided leather tassel on the front zip. The Phantom generally has a softer, more relaxed silhouette and was made in medium and large sizes.
Q: Is the Phantom still produced by Celine? A: Original Phantom sizes have been discontinued at retail, but they remain available on the resale market. The silhouette has recently been revisited by the house in new interpretations, which has renewed interest in vintage and pre-owned Phantoms.
Q: Is suede practical for everyday use? A: Suede is luxurious but more delicate than smooth leather. Protect with a suede-specific protector before first use, avoid prolonged rain and oily contact, brush gently with a suede brush to lift the nap, and store stuffed to maintain shape.
Q: Can I use it in the rain? A: It’s best to avoid rain. If it becomes wet, blot gently with a clean cloth (do not rub), allow to air-dry away from heat, then lightly brush the nap. A periodic protector spray can help resist light moisture, but suede is not waterproof.
Q: How can I minimise colour transfer on this light suede? A: Avoid prolonged friction against dark or unwashed denim and dyed garments, keep the bag dry, pre-treat with a suede protector, and handle by the top handles to reduce contact with the body of the bag. Store in a breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight.
Q: Does it have a serial or date code, and where is it? A: Celine bags typically have an internal date code (not a unique serial number) embossed on a small leather tab, often near an interior seam or pocket. The code generally indicates factory and week/year of production rather than uniquely identifying the bag.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. If a dust bag or other item is not listed there, it is not included. Our team is happy to confirm the contents on request.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this piece? A: Every item is vetted by our specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hardware, stamps/date codes and overall craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
