Perfect for desk-to-dinner days, this vintage Céline Triomphe in black box leather with gold-tone hardware adds refined polish to city outings. With multiple compartments, an internal zip pocket and an adjustable shoulder strap, it keeps essentials organised and hands-free for gallery openings, theatre nights or weekend strolls.
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 this Triomphe bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 22 × 16 × 5 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick and a slim pair of sunglasses. Capacity depends on how you pack and the internal dividers; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: The single strap is adjustable, with an approximate drop of 28 cm at its longest setting, making it best suited to shoulder carry. Crossbody wear will sit higher on most frames; please compare the drop to a bag you already own to gauge where it will sit on you.
Q: How does the Triomphe clasp work and how should I handle it? A: The Triomphe clasp is Céline’s signature emblem closure with an integrated mechanism. To open, press the clasp and lift the flap gently; to close, align the clasp and press until it clicks. Avoid forcing the hardware and keep it free from lotions and perfumes to maintain its finish.
Q: Is shiny/box calf leather delicate and how do I care for it? A: Box/shiny calf does show micro‑scratches and will develop a natural patina with wear. Light surface marks can often soften if gently buffed with a soft, dry, light‑coloured cloth. Keep the bag away from moisture and heat, avoid rubbing against abrasive surfaces, and store it stuffed in a breathable dust bag when not in use.
Q: The listing notes a vintage smell—can it be reduced safely? A: Yes. Air the bag in a clean, dry, shaded area and place odour absorbers such as baking soda or activated charcoal in a separate sachet near (not touching) the leather for 24–72 hours; repeat as needed. Never spray perfume or harsh cleaners on the leather. For persistent odours, we recommend a professional handbag care service.
Q: What is included with this item? A: It is sold as seen. Everything included is listed under the product information on this page; if no extras (such as a dust bag or card) are listed there, none are included.
Q: How is authenticity guaranteed? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and model‑specific details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or information on request.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number or date code? A: Many Céline bags use a date code format rather than a unique serial number; placement and format vary by model and era, and some vintage pieces may not have an easily visible code. This is normal. Our authentication considers the bag as a whole and does not rely solely on a code.
Q: How should I store the bag when not in use? A: Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth, loosely stuff it to help maintain shape, fasten the clasp to avoid bending, and store it in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
