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 Seau Sangle Bucket Bag? A: With its compact bucket silhouette, it comfortably holds a large smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, slim sunglasses in a soft case and a small cosmetics pouch. An A5 notebook usually fits vertically, and an iPad mini can fit without a bulky case; larger tablets (e.g., 11-inch) are generally too big. Capacity can vary slightly by edition—please refer to the Measurements on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? Is the strap adjustable? A: This piece comes with a single detachable wool shoulder strap with a drop of approximately 36 cm, which is ideal for shoulder carry. It is not adjustable and will sit too high for most wearers to use crossbody. If you need a different carry length, we can advise on compatible alternative straps.
Q: How secure is the closure and what interior pockets does it have? A: The Sangle Seau uses an internal hook closure—secure for everyday use but not as sealed as a zip-top. Inside, you’ll find dark green suede lining and one internal zipped pocket for valuables. Please review our listing photos for the exact layout of this piece.
Q: What materials and hardware does this model feature? A: This bag is crafted in petrol green grained leather with dark green suede lining and gold-tone hardware. The textured calfskin offers good everyday durability, while the suede provides a luxurious feel. The listing specifies the exact materials and finishes for this piece.
Q: How should I care for the grained leather, suede lining and wool strap? A: Keep the bag away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim onto lighter clothing/leathers. Wipe grained leather with a soft, dry cloth; condition smooth leather sparingly with a neutral product after testing on a discreet area. For suede, avoid liquids; gently brush with a clean suede brush to lift light marks. The wool strap can pill with friction—use a fabric shaver lightly if needed. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid overfilling to preserve its shape.
Q: Does the Sangle Seau have base feet? Will it stand on its own? A: Sangle Seau buckets typically have a clean base without protective feet. The structured grained leather helps the bag stand when lightly filled, though some natural softening/slouch can develop over time. Place it on clean, dry surfaces and consider a bag base insert if you prefer extra structure.
Q: Can I swap the strap for another? A: Yes—many owners alternate with other Céline-compatible straps. Use lightweight, quality hardware to avoid scratching the D-rings, and avoid aftermarket modifications that require adhesives or drilling. If you’d like guidance on compatible options for this exact piece, just let us know.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and where is this piece made? A: Authentic Céline bags feature an interior heat-stamp (e.g., “CELINE Paris” or “Céline”) and a country of origin stamp; our listing states this piece is made in Italy, which will be reflected inside. Many Céline bags also have an internal serial/production code, often on a small leather tab or along an interior seam. Placement and format vary by era—contact us for close-up photos of this item.
Q: Is the Sangle Seau still produced? A: Availability has varied by season and creative direction; some sizes/editions are no longer offered in boutiques. The pre-loved market is the best way to find specific colours and configurations like this Small Seau in petrol green.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Everything included with this bag is listed under “Accessories”; this item is offered without accessories. Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi-point authentication by our in-house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, codes and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
