Céline Cabas Phantom Tote Bag

Q: Is this the Small Cabas Phantom, and is it still roomy?
A: Yes. This listing is the Small variant, but it is still a generously sized tote at approximately 47 x 32 x 17 cm with a 23 cm handle drop. It is well suited to everyday use and can comfortably hold essentials such as a wallet, phone, sunglasses, a small pouch, documents and other daily items.

Q: Will this bag fit a laptop?
A: For many buyers, yes. The Small Cabas Phantom is commonly used for 13-inch laptops, and slim 14-inch models may also fit depending on the sleeve and how the laptop is placed inside. Larger 15-16 inch laptops can be a tighter fit and may make the bag feel noticeably heavier on the shoulder, so we recommend checking your device measurements against the dimensions shown on this page.

Q: Is the bag comfortable to carry on the shoulder?
A: This style is designed for shoulder carry, and the 23 cm handle drop gives a comfortable fit for most day-to-day wear. The dual flat leather straps generally sit well on the shoulder, though like most leather totes, the bag can feel less comfortable if packed very heavily.

Q: Does the Cabas Phantom close securely?
A: This piece has a leather tie closure rather than a full zip top. It offers quick, easy access and lets you cinch the silhouette slightly, but it is not as secure as a zipped tote. For travel or busy commutes, many people prefer to keep valuables in a pouch inside.

Q: What is the lining like?
A: The interior is lined in tonal suede, which gives the bag a soft and luxurious finish. Suede linings feel beautiful but can be a little more delicate than fabric linings, so it is best to avoid loose liquids, ink items and anything that could rub or mark the inside.

Q: Does this bag keep its shape, or will it slouch?
A: The Cabas Phantom is known for its relaxed, elegant structure rather than a rigid boxy shape. The side ties help define the silhouette, and the leather may soften further with use over time. A gentle slouch is normal for this model and part of its appeal.

Q: How should I care for the leather and suede interior?
A: Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid moisture, hand cream, perfume and rough surfaces. If the bag gets damp, dab it carefully with a light-coloured absorbent cloth. Store it in its dust bag, preferably lightly stuffed to help maintain shape, and avoid plastic storage or high heat and humidity.

Q: What condition is this item in, and what is included?
A: According to the product information, the exterior and interior are both in very good condition with light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. This item also comes with a dust bag. If anything is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
