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 can this pouch hold day to day? A: With measurements of approximately 23 × 17 × 5 cm, it fits most large smartphones, a slim wallet or cardholder, keys, a passport, and small cosmetics. Capacity depends on how you pack; please refer to the Measurements for exact dimensions.
Q: Does it come with a strap or wristlet? A: No. This is a classic zip-top pouch designed for hand carry or for use inside a larger bag as an organiser. There are no strap attachments on this piece.
Q: What is the material and how durable is it? A: The exterior features Céline’s vintage Macadam monogram in coated canvas with tan leather trim and brass-tone hardware. Coated canvas is known for being lightweight and resistant to everyday wear; the leather trim adds structure and ages beautifully with proper care.
Q: Is it water-resistant? A: Coated canvas offers light water resistance for everyday splashes, but it isn’t fully waterproof. Wipe moisture off promptly and avoid soaking the bag to protect both the canvas coating and the leather trim.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Wipe the coated canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth; a tiny amount of mild, non-abrasive soap can be used for stubborn marks, then wipe with plain water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid alcohol-based products, harsh cleaners, baby wipes with additives, or leather conditioners on the canvas. Nourish the leather trim sparingly with a suitable neutral leather conditioner a few times a year. Store stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat and sunlight.
Q: Where would a Céline date code be on a vintage pouch like this, and what does it mean? A: Many vintage Céline items include a date code on a small leather tab or embossed in the lining, often following a format such as one letter, two letters, and four numbers indicating factory and production period. Placement varies by style and year, and the code is not unique to a single item. If you’d like us to look for or photograph the code, please contact us.
Q: Is this item authentic? A: Yes. Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date codes where present. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What is included in the purchase? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this specific piece, no additional items are included unless explicitly stated.
Q: What is the condition of this pouch? A: Overall Very Good condition. The exterior shows light signs of use; the interior is Good with some spots on the lining; hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for close‑ups of condition details.
Q: Can I use it as a clutch or as a bag organiser? A: Absolutely. Its slim, zip‑top design works well as an elegant clutch for essentials or as an organiser inside a tote or travel bag.
