Q: How should I care for vintage Macadam coated canvas and leather trim?
A: Gently wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it afterwards. The leather trim should be kept away from excess moisture, direct heat, and harsh cleaning products. When not in use, store the bag in a cool, dry place and lightly stuff it to help maintain its shape.

Q: Does a Céline date code or production code guarantee authenticity on its own?
A: No. Vintage Céline bags may have production or date codes, but these should be considered only one part of the authentication process. Materials, stitching, hardware, logo details, lining, and overall construction are also important when assessing authenticity.

Q: Why is the Macadam pattern so popular on vintage Céline bags?
A: The Macadam motif is one of Céline’s most recognisable vintage signatures. Buyers often look for it because it offers a classic monogram look, durable coated canvas construction, and a timeless travel aesthetic that works especially well on larger Boston and weekend bag styles.
