Gold-tone hardware and the secure push-lock keep essentials chicly stowed, while the adjustable shoulder strap ensures effortless elegance from day to evening.
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 Medium Classic Box? A: With the measurements listed here (approx. 24 × 20 × 5 cm), it holds a continental wallet, large smartphone, slim sunglasses case, keys, and small cosmetics. An iPad mini or small notebook generally fits if not in a bulky case. Capacity varies by how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: This piece has a single adjustable flat shoulder strap (approx. 45 cm, adjustable). On many frames it wears as a long shoulder bag; crossbody wear may be possible on more petite builds or when using the longest setting. Please review the strap length in the Measurements and photos to judge fit.
Q: What leather is this and how does it wear? A: The Classic Box is known for smooth box calf leather, which is structured and develops a subtle patina over time. Light surface marks and micro-scratches are normal with this leather and can often be softened by gentle buffing with a clean, soft cloth.
Q: How should I care for box calf leather? A: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, let it air dry, then buff gently. Use a neutral leather conditioner sparingly a few times a year (test first on a hidden area). Avoid oils, alcohol-based products, excess moisture, and prolonged sunlight. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag and keep it away from potential colour transfer (for example, dark denim).
Q: Does the push-lock hardware scratch easily? A: The signature push-lock is secure but prone to hairline scratches with normal use. Minimise marks by opening and closing the clasp carefully without dragging metal surfaces, avoiding contact with abrasive items, and placing a thin felt protector between the flap and clasp when storing. Use only a soft microfibre cloth for gentle polishing; avoid abrasive cleaners.
Q: What is the interior like? A: It features red leather lining with multiple compartments and one zipped pocket, making it easy to keep daily essentials organised.
Q: Will an iPad mini fit? A: Yes, an iPad mini typically fits inside the Medium Classic Box when not in a bulky case. As fit depends on your specific device and case, please compare against the Measurements provided.
Q: Is this a vintage, pre- or post-2018 piece? A: This item is listed as vintage. As a general guide, pre-2018 pieces often show the brand stamp with an accent on the e (Céline), while post-2018 pieces show CELINE without the accent. For the precise era of this bag, please check the photos or contact us.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information. For this piece, a dust bag is included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly verified by our in-house experts through multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share further details on request.
