Perfect for the office commute or a laid-back city weekend, this vintage Céline Horizontal Cabas in coral leather offers an easy, spacious carry with dual top handles. In very good condition, it brings a refined pop of colour to smart-casual looks 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: What typically fits inside the Céline Horizontal Cabas? A: With approximate dimensions of 39 × 30 × 19 cm, it easily holds an A4 notebook or documents, a 13-inch laptop in a slim sleeve, a water bottle, wallet, phone, and a small cosmetics pouch. The attached zip pocket is useful for valuables and small items.
Q: Can it carry a laptop? A: Yes. A 13-inch laptop fits comfortably; many users also carry a 14-inch in a protective sleeve. A 15-inch can fit but may feel heavy and can place extra stress on the handles over time. We recommend using a padded sleeve and avoiding prolonged heavy loads.
Q: Does the bag have a closure? A: This model has an open top without a zip or magnetic fastening. For extra organisation and security, you can use a bag organiser or pouches inside.
Q: Is the interior pouch removable? A: On this specific piece, the internal zip pouch is attached and not detachable.
Q: How does it carry on the shoulder? A: The handle drop is approximately 18 cm, which is comfortable on the shoulder with light layers. It is a handheld/shoulder tote and does not include a crossbody strap or D-rings for one.
Q: What is the bag made of and how should I care for it? A: The exterior is coral leather with a tonal suede lining. Wipe the leather gently with a soft, dry cloth and condition sparingly. Keep away from water, oils and prolonged heat or sunlight. For the suede lining, use a clean suede brush or lint roller to lift dust and prevent matting; avoid liquid cleaners and allow any moisture to dry naturally before brushing. Store the bag stuffed to maintain its shape in a breathable dust bag.
Q: Will the colour transfer to clothing or pick up dye? A: As with most leathers, colour transfer can occur in either direction. Avoid prolonged contact with dark denim and damp fabrics, and allow new garments to be washed before wear. If the leather gets wet, blot dry promptly.
Q: What is included with the bag? A: Everything provided is listed in the product information. For this piece, no additional items are listed; the built-in zip pocket forms part of the bag.
Q: What does Very Good Condition mean here? A: It indicates light, normal signs of use such as small surface marks, minor interior rubbing and faint hardware scratches, with no major defects. Please review all photos for a precise view of wear.
Q: Where is it made and how do you authenticate it? A: The origin label states Italy. Céline uses internal date codes rather than unique serial numbers; placement varies by style and year. Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated via multi-point checks of materials, stamps, codes and construction, and we stand by the authenticity of all items we sell.
