Céline Macadam Vanity Pouch

Q: What typically fits inside the Céline Macadam Vanity Pouch?
A: With approximate dimensions of 24 x 15 x 7 cm, it is best suited to small daily or travel essentials such as a phone, cardholder, keys, passport, lipstick, compact, cables, or a few beauty items. It is ideal for organised essentials rather than bulky items.

Q: Can this pouch be carried on the shoulder or crossbody?
A: No. This piece has a single flat top handle with an approximate 4 cm drop and is designed to be carried by hand or used inside a larger bag. No strap is included with this item.

Q: What materials is this item made from?
A: This vintage Céline pouch features Macadam canvas with brown leather trim, leather lining, and gold-tone hardware.

Q: Is this more suitable as a cosmetic case or an everyday pouch?
A: It works well as both. The vanity shape is practical for make-up, toiletries, or other neatly organised essentials, while its compact top-handle design also makes it easy to use as a stylish hand-carried pouch.

Q: Does it close securely?
A: Yes. The pouch has a zip closure, which helps keep contents neatly contained during day-to-day use or travel.

Q: What condition is this item in?
A: It is listed in good vintage condition. The exterior has scratches on the leather, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with most vintage pieces, gentle signs of age and wear are to be expected.

A: No additional pieces are included with this item. If you would like to double-check what comes with it, please review the product information on this page.

Q: How should I care for vintage Macadam canvas and leather?

Q: How do I know this item is authentic?
A: A Retro Tale specialises in authenticated luxury vintage pieces. For Céline Macadam styles, buyers typically look at the quality of the canvas, leather trim, stitching, hardware, and overall construction, and this item is offered as an authentic pre-owned piece.
