Made for a polished day about town—from morning coffee to gallery hopping—the Céline Small Triomphe Vertical Cabas carries your edit with ease. Triomphe canvas with brown leather trim complements any outfit, while dual handles and a detachable shoulder strap switch from hand to shoulder. An open top and an internal slip pocket keep essentials within easy reach.
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 Small Triomphe Vertical Cabas? A: Ideally sized for daily use, this tote accommodates A4 documents and a standard 13-inch laptop (typically placed vertically), alongside essentials such as a smartphone, wallet, keys, and a cosmetics pouch. The approximate dimensions for this piece are 32 cm in height by 28 cm in width. Please refer to the Measurements section or contact us if you need to check the fit for a specific device.
Q: Can I wear this bag crossbody? A: The bag features dual top handles for hand carrying and a detachable shoulder strap. The strap measurement listed for this specific item is 80 cm; depending on your height and build, this may sit as a shoulder bag or a high crossbody. We recommend checking this length against a bag you currently own to ensure it suits your carrying preference.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The Vertical Cabas features an open-top design for easy access to your belongings. It includes one internal slip pocket for organising smaller valuables. For everyday security, particularly during commutes, we recommend placing a zipped pouch inside for important items like your wallet or keys.
Q: What material is this bag made of? A: This piece is crafted from Céline’s signature Triomphe canvas—a durable, coated canvas featuring the archival logo pattern—trimmed with brown calfskin leather and finished with gold-tone hardware. The interior is lined with a durable textile.
Q: How durable is Triomphe canvas? A: Coated canvas is renowned for its durability and resistance to water and scratches compared to smooth leathers, making it an excellent choice for a low-maintenance daily bag. However, the leather trims are natural materials and should still be treated with care.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth if needed. Keep the leather handles and trim away from moisture, oils (such as hand creams), and prolonged direct sunlight to prevent spotting or fading. Store the bag upright in its dust bag when not in use to maintain its structured shape.
Q: Where are the brand markings typically located? A: Authentic models usually feature the "CELINE PARIS" logo printed in white on the front canvas. Inside, you will find a heat stamp reading "Made in Italy" (as indicated for this item), and a date code is typically embossed on a leather tab or inside the pocket. Contact us if you would like close-up photos of these details.
Q: What accessories are included with this specific piece? A: As listed under the "Accessories" section, this item includes its dust bag and the detachable shoulder strap. If an item (such as a box or receipt) is not mentioned there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate the Céline Vertical Cabas? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a rigorous multi-point inspection by our in-house experts. We verify the materials, stitching, hardware quality, logo typography, and internal date codes to ensure the authenticity of every piece we sell.
