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 size is this Medium Phantom Luggage Tote? A: This specific bag measures approximately 27 × 30 × 26 cm (height × width × depth). Sizes can vary slightly by leather and how the side wings are measured, but this is the typical range for the Medium Phantom.
Q: What can it comfortably hold day to day? A: It easily carries a long wallet, phone, keys, a water bottle, make-up pouch, A5 diary or small folders, and a tablet. Some 13-inch laptops may fit depending on the exact model and case; please compare your device’s dimensions with the measurements above to be sure.
Q: Does the Phantom have a zip top or a clasp? A: The Phantom is designed with an open top for easy access. Many versions include internal leather ties to cinch the opening, but it does not have a zipped main closure. Using pouches or a bag organiser helps keep contents secure.
Q: How is the Phantom different from the standard Céline Luggage tote? A: The Phantom has wider “wings”, an open-top design (versus the Luggage’s zipped top), a braided leather pull on the front zip pocket, and a more relaxed, slightly slouchy silhouette. The interior is typically suede with a zipped pocket.
Q: Can I carry it on the shoulder? A: The handle drop is about 12 cm, so it is primarily a hand or crook‑of‑arm carry. Most people will not find the drop long enough for shoulder carry, especially over outerwear.
Q: Is the Medium Phantom heavy? A: As a full‑leather tote with a suede-lined interior, it has a substantial feel compared with canvas shoppers. If you are weight‑sensitive, consider packing lighter and avoid adding a heavy organiser.
Q: How should I care for the exterior and the suede lining? A: For the black grained calfskin, wipe with a soft, dry cloth and condition sparingly with a leather‑appropriate cream. Keep away from heavy rain and direct heat. For the suede lining, gently brush with a clean suede brush to lift dust; use a suede eraser for light marks and allow any moisture to dry naturally before brushing. Store stuffed to hold shape and keep it in a breathable dust bag.
Q: Is this style still produced by Céline? A: The original Medium Phantom as seen in the Phoebe Philo era has largely been phased out of the main retail line and is now found primarily on the pre‑owned market. The Phantom silhouette has seen periodic returns and variations, so availability can vary over time.
Q: Where would I find identifying codes, and how is this bag authenticated? A: Earlier Céline bags typically have an alphanumeric date code stamped on a small leather tab or on the lining, often inside or near the interior pocket. More recent releases may use embedded identifiers rather than visible codes. Every item at A Retro Tale is meticulously inspected by our experts before listing.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed under product information, this bag comes with a dust bag. If an item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
