Q: What typically fits inside this Céline Vintage Triomphe bag? A: With approximate measurements of 27 × 19.5 × 9 cm and three compartments plus a zipped pocket, it comfortably carries a long wallet, smartphone, keys, a compact or small cosmetics pouch, and slim sunglasses in a soft case. Capacity varies by how you pack—please use the Measurements and photos as your guide.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: The adjustable flat strap has an approximate 40 cm drop, which tends to sit best as a shoulder bag for most heights. Crossbody typically requires a longer drop (often around 50–60 cm), so whether it works crossbody will depend on your build and preference—please check the strap measurement against your own.
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.

Crossbody typically requires a longer drop (often around 50–60 cm), so whether it works crossbody will depend on your build and preference—please check the strap measurement against your own.
Q: How secure is the Triomphe clasp closure? A: The structured flap fastens with Céline’s Triomphe emblem clasp, providing a secure, easy-to-use closure for everyday wear. As with most vintage hardware, light surface scratches can occur with use; avoid overfilling and contact with abrasive surfaces to keep the clasp looking its best.
Q: What is the story behind the Triomphe motif? A: The double‑C Triomphe emblem was inspired by the chain surrounds at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris in the early 1970s and has been a house signature ever since. The motif was re‑spotlighted in recent collections, making vintage pieces with this clasp especially timeless.
Q: How does this vintage style relate to today’s Triomphe bags? A: Modern Triomphe bags were reintroduced under Hedi Slimane from 2018, echoing earlier designs with the same emblematic clasp. While proportions and materials can differ, both vintage and current styles share the clean lines and signature hardware that make the Triomphe a classic.
Q: How can I verify the authenticity and age of a vintage Céline bag? A: Many Céline bags carry date codes that indicate production period and factory, but they are not unique serial numbers and formats vary by era. For vintage pieces, authentication relies on a combination of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, and code format/placement. Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by our experts using multi‑point checks; we are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: Wipe the leather occasionally with a soft, dry cloth and, if needed, apply a small amount of high‑quality neutral leather cream sparingly. Keep away from water, oils, perfumes, and alcohol‑based products; avoid prolonged sun or heat. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain shape. For the gold‑tone hardware, buff gently with a non‑abrasive microfibre cloth; avoid metal polishes that could remove plating.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece comes with a mirror. Everything included is listed under product information; if an item (such as a dust bag or box) isn’t listed there, it is not included—please contact us if you would like us to confirm.
Q: What does the stated condition mean in practice? A: Graded Good: the exterior leather shows visible scratches and scuffs from normal use; the interior has light signs of wear; and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches and some discolouration. Please review all images, as they form part of the description.
