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 are the measurements and strap drop of this Small Trio? A: The measurements for this item are approximately 21 × 15 × 4 cm, with an adjustable strap around 53 cm as listed on this page. For reference, the current Small Trio from Celine is typically around 22 × 15 × 4 cm with a strap drop close to 51 cm; small variations occur by season and measurement method. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact figures of this piece.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody and on the shoulder? A: Yes. The Trio has an adjustable leather strap designed for both shoulder and crossbody wear, making it easy to fine‑tune the length for comfort.
Q: Are the three pouches detachable and how do they work? A: The Trio is made up of three zipped pouches that attach to each other with snap buttons. The strap is fixed to the middle pouch; you can remove one or both outer pouches, or clip the two outers together to carry as a slim clutch.
Q: What typically fits inside the Small Trio? A: Daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact or small wallet/cardholder, keys, sunglasses in a soft case, and small cosmetics fit comfortably when distributed across the three pouches. Packing more than that may bulk the bag and is not recommended for long‑term wear on the strap.
Q: Will a tablet or iPad mini fit? A: A full‑size tablet will not fit. Most users find that even an iPad mini is a tight or impractical fit in the Small Trio; the Large Trio offers more room if you need to carry a small tablet.
Q: What is the interior like—are there extra pockets? A: Each of the three pouches has a fabric lining and a zipped top. There are no additional interior pockets; organisation comes from using the three separate pouches.
Q: What leather is used and how durable is it? A: The Trio is most commonly crafted in smooth lambskin, though some seasons offered calfskin. Lambskin feels soft and luxurious but can show fine scratches and pressure marks more readily than grained or calf leathers; normal use marks are expected on vintage pieces.
Q: How should I care for the leather? A: Keep the bag away from humidity and direct heat; avoid contact with liquids, hand cream, hand sanitiser, make‑up and perfume. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use, store loosely stuffed to maintain shape, and keep it in a breathable dust bag. For deep cleaning, use a professional leather care service.
Q: How can I tell the approximate era—Céline vs Celine? A: Pieces produced before September 2018 usually bear the “Céline” logo with an accent on the first “e”. Later pieces show “Celine” without the accent, reflecting the brand update under Hedi Slimane. This can help date a bag alongside stamps and codes.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the bag is listed under the product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or receipt is not listed there, it is not included—contact us if you would like us to confirm what’s present for this specific piece.
