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 type of bag is this? A: This is a medium vintage Céline Boston bag, designed with a structured silhouette, dual rolled top handles, and a top zip closure. This particular piece is crafted in navy Macadam suede with navy leather trim, gold-tone hardware, and a black leather lining with one internal zip pocket.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With approximate measurements of 30 x 22 x 11 cm, it is well suited to everyday essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and other compact daily items. It is roomy for a handheld day bag, but not intended for bulky belongings.
Q: Can it fit a laptop or A4 documents? A: No, this size is not ideal for most laptops or full-size A4 paperwork. A small tablet or e-reader may fit depending on its case, but this model works best as an everyday handbag rather than a work bag.
Q: Does it come with a shoulder strap? A: No, this piece does not have a shoulder strap listed, and it is designed to be carried by hand. The handle drop is approximately 10 cm, so it is best worn as a top-handle bag.
Q: What is the Macadam pattern? A: Macadam is one of Céline’s classic vintage monogram styles, recognised for its understated all-over motif and elegant archival feel. It is especially appreciated by collectors who like heritage Céline designs with a more discreet look than overt logos.
Q: Why is the brand written Céline with an accent? A: Many vintage pieces use the older Céline branding with the accent. The house later simplified the modern logo to Celine, so the accented spelling can be completely normal on earlier designs.
Q: What condition should I expect from this vintage bag? A: This bag is listed in Very Good condition. Please note there is visible peeling on the leather trim and scuffing on the corners, while the interior shows light traces of use and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with all vintage items, gentle signs of age are part of the character.
Q: How should I care for the suede exterior and leather trim? A: Suede should be handled with extra care. We recommend keeping the bag away from rain, direct heat, and colour transfer from dark clothing, then brushing it gently with a suede brush when needed. A protector made for suede can help guard against moisture and marks. Because this piece already has some peeling to the leather trim, it is best not to overload the bag.
Q: Is anything else included, and how is authenticity handled? A: No additional items are included with this piece. Please refer to the product information section for what is included with the bag. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked for authenticity by in-house experts before it is offered for sale.
