Perfect for polished city days, this vintage Céline Boogie Bag in black leather takes you from morning meetings to dinner plans with effortless style. Dual top handles and an open-top, organised interior keep daily essentials close at hand without compromising elegance.
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 are the measurements of this Céline Boogie Bag? A: Approx. 33 × 20 × 14 cm with a handle drop of about 10 cm. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions of this specific piece.
Q: What typically fits inside day to day? A: A long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses case, a small cosmetics pouch, and a 500 ml water bottle laid horizontally fit comfortably. It also takes a compact umbrella and other small essentials without losing its structured shape.
Q: Will a tablet or A4 documents fit? A: An iPad mini or similarly sized tablet fits easily. A 10–11 inch tablet may fit horizontally if in a slim case, but A4 folders and 13 inch laptops are not recommended. For certainty, compare your device to the listed measurements and opening.
Q: Is the Boogie still produced by Céline? A: The Boogie debuted in the early 2000s and is widely considered a discontinued, vintage style today. It is most commonly found on the pre‑loved market in various leathers and colours.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: The classic Boogie is designed as a handheld top‑handle bag. This piece does not include a shoulder strap and is intended to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm (approx. 10 cm handle drop).
Q: How is the interior organised? A: It has an open top with a central zipped compartment, additional internal pockets, and two external side pockets—handy for items you want to reach quickly.
Q: Is the open‑top design secure? A: Use the central zipped compartment for valuables and small pouches for loose items. Avoid overfilling so the top edges sit neatly and the contents remain discreet.
Q: What leather care do you recommend? A: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry immediately. Avoid harsh cleaners, colour‑transfer risk from dark denim, and prolonged heat or direct sunlight. Store stuffed to maintain shape, in a breathable dust bag, with handles upright and hardware not pressing against leather.
Q: Where can I find the date code on a vintage Céline Boogie? A: Many vintage Céline bags have a date code stamped on a small leather tab inside a pocket. Formats vary by era, but a common format is letter‑letter/number combinations followed by four digits indicating month and year. Placement and format can differ, and a code alone does not confirm authenticity.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. If an item such as a dust bag is not mentioned there, it is not included. Each piece at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts before listing.
