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 Céline Macadam Tote Bag? A: This is a medium-sized tote measuring approximately 24.5 x 23 x 9.5 cm, so it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetic pouch, and a compact notebook. It is not likely to fit a larger laptop, so we recommend checking the measurements on this page against anything you plan to carry regularly.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. The dual flat handles have an approximate drop of 19 cm, which is generally suitable for shoulder carry. The fit can vary slightly depending on what you are wearing and your preferred styling.
Q: Does the bag close securely? A: This tote has an open top, making it easy to access your belongings quickly. Inside, there is one internal zip pocket for smaller valuables you may want to keep more secure.
Q: What materials and details does this bag feature? A: This piece is made in beige Macadam canvas with brown leather trim, brown leather lining, and gold-tone hardware. The Macadam pattern is one of Céline’s classic vintage house motifs and is especially loved for its timeless look and everyday practicality.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The bag is in very good vintage condition. There are light traces of use externally and internally, the hardware remains shiny with light scratches, and there is a light vintage smell inside. As with all pre-owned vintage pieces, gentle age-related character is to be expected.
Q: Does this item come with any product information? A: No additional product information is included with this item. Everything included with the purchase is reflected in the product information section on this page.
Q: Is a serial number provided for this bag? A: No serial number is listed for this piece. With vintage Céline, this is not unusual, as many bags from different eras use date codes rather than modern-style unique serial numbers. As always, A Retro Tale carefully authenticates all items before sale.
Q: How should I care for vintage Macadam canvas and leather? A: We recommend gently wiping the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoiding harsh cleaning products or heavy rubbing on the leather trim. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag and keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight, heat, and excess humidity to help preserve its shape and finish.
Q: Can anything be done about the light vintage smell inside? A: Yes, in many cases a light vintage smell can lessen over time with gentle airing out and careful storage. Keeping the bag open in a dry, well-ventilated space and using charcoal odour absorbers nearby can help gradually reduce the scent without being too harsh on the vintage materials.
Q: Is this a good everyday vintage tote? A: Yes. Its medium size, shoulder-carry handles, open-top design, and internal zip pocket make it a practical option for everyday essentials, while the classic Macadam canvas keeps the look elegant and recognisably vintage.
