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 Boogie Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 33 x 20 x 13 cm, this bag is well suited to everyday essentials such as a full-size wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and similar daily items. It should also fit a compact tablet or e-reader, but it is not the best choice for most laptops or larger work items.
Q: Can this Boogie Bag be worn on the shoulder? A: This Classic Boogie is primarily a handheld or crook-of-the-arm style. The handle drop is approximately 11 cm, so most people will find it less comfortable for regular shoulder wear, especially with thicker layers or coats.
Q: Is the Céline Boogie Bag a practical everyday bag? A: Yes, many collectors like the Boogie because it combines a structured shape with useful organisation. This particular piece features multiple exterior pockets and one internal zip pocket, making it a practical choice if you prefer a vintage top-handle bag with easy access to your essentials.
Q: Is the Boogie Bag considered a vintage Céline style? A: Yes. The Boogie is one of Céline’s well-known early-2000s designs and is now appreciated as a vintage style from the house’s earlier era. It remains popular on the second-hand market thanks to its classic shape and everyday functionality.
Q: What condition details should I expect on this specific bag? A: This bag is listed in very good vintage condition overall. The exterior shows wear to the corners, darkening on the handles and green tarnish around the hardware. Inside, the condition is very good with light traces of use. The hardware shows scratches, tarnishing and verdigris, which is reflected in the product information and price.
Q: What does verdigris or green tarnish around the hardware mean? A: Verdigris is a greenish oxidation that can develop over time on metal hardware, particularly on older bags. On vintage pieces it is not unusual, and it is generally considered a cosmetic sign of age. It should be cleaned carefully, and heavier build-up is often best handled by a professional to avoid affecting the surrounding leather.
Q: How should I care for vintage red leather like this? A: Store the bag stuffed and upright in its dust bag to help preserve the shape. Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat and excess humidity, and wipe the leather gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth when needed. Avoid harsh cleaners, over-conditioning and plastic storage, especially on an older leather bag.
Q: Does this bag come with any included items? A: Yes, this Céline Boogie Bag comes with a dust bag. If any other extras such as a box, authenticity card or strap are not listed in the product information, they should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Who is this bag best suited to? A: This bag is ideal for someone who likes a structured vintage designer handbag with a classic early-2000s look, top-handle carry and useful pocketing. If you need a crossbody strap, shoulder comfort or room for larger work items, you may prefer a different style.
