For effortless days in the city, this vintage Céline Small Trio in black leather is a sleek companion. The adjustable shoulder strap and three zipped compartments keep essentials organised from brunch to gallery visits, while gold-tone accents add polish to casual and smart looks alike.
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 Trio? A: Despite its slim profile, it comfortably carries a large smartphone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, sunglasses in a soft sleeve, and a few small cosmetics. The three zipped compartments help keep items organised without bulging. Capacity varies with how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for this exact piece.
Q: Are the three pouches detachable and can I use them as a clutch? A: Yes. The Trio’s three zipped pouches are connected with snap buttons. You can detach the centre pouch and attach the two outer pouches together to carry as a sleek clutch, or use individual pouches for minimal carry.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and what is the drop on this item? A: Yes. On this exact piece, the strap drop is approximately 56 cm and is adjustable for crossbody or shoulder wear. Factory specifications for current Trio models reference a strap drop around 51 cm; actual drop can vary slightly by year and model.
Q: Will it fit an iPad mini or an e‑reader? A: The Small Trio generally does not accommodate an iPad mini comfortably. A slim e‑reader may fit horizontally in one compartment (usually without a bulky case), but please check against the listed width of 21 cm for certainty.
Q: Is the strap removable? A: The leather strap is designed to stay attached for shoulder or crossbody carry. To go strap‑free, many users detach the centre pouch and clip the two outer pouches together to form a clutch.
Q: What leather does the Trio usually come in, and how durable is it? A: The Trio is most commonly crafted in smooth lambskin, prized for its soft, luxurious hand. Smooth lambskin can show light surface marks and corner wear more readily than grained leathers; minor scuffs often soften with gentle buffing using a soft, dry cloth. This specific piece is described as black leather—see the product details on this page.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Trio? A: Keep it lightly stuffed and stored in its dust bag away from direct heat/sunlight. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; avoid water, alcohol, and harsh cleaners. Take extra care with corners and avoid overfilling, which can stress the snaps and seams. For deeper cleaning or restoration, consult a professional leather specialist.
Q: Is the Trio still made today? A: Céline/Celine has offered the Trio for years, and updated iterations (including current-season versions and the Trio Flap) appear periodically. Colours, materials, and details can vary by season; this particular piece is a vintage Small Trio.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece is delivered with a dust bag. Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page; if an item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by in‑house experts with over 10 years of experience and verified with a trusted third‑party authentication tool. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share further details on request.
