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 the Céline Boogie Bag Medium? A: With approximate measurements of 32 × 18 × 14 cm on this piece, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a large smartphone, continental wallet, slim sunglasses case, keys, a small cosmetics pouch and a compact umbrella. A small tablet up to about 8 inches can fit horizontally, and a 500 ml bottle fits best laid on its side. Capacity varies depending on the organiser pouches you use and how you pack.
Q: Is the Céline Boogie Bag still in production? A: The Boogie is a vintage, discontinued style introduced in the early 2000s during Michael Kors’s tenure at Céline (around 2002). It is no longer part of Céline’s current boutique assortment and is now found on the pre‑loved market.
Q: How is this Boogie organised? A: This particular bag is the Medium Boogie in black leather with silver‑tone hardware. It features a single main compartment with a zip pocket inside, plus two zipped side pockets and a front slip pocket for quick‑access items. Note that Boogie interiors can vary by season and material; some versions have three compartments with a central zipped section.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: The Boogie was designed primarily as a hand‑carried/top‑handle satchel. It does not come with a shoulder strap and typically lacks D‑rings for one. Most owners carry it by hand or in the crook of the arm.
Q: What size is this bag and what is the handle drop? A: This is the Medium size. The bag measures approximately 32 cm wide × 18 cm high × 14 cm deep, with a handle drop of about 13 cm on this piece. As with many vintage items, small variations can occur between production runs.
Q: What materials and finishes has the Boogie appeared in? A: The Boogie was produced in numerous iterations, including smooth and grained leathers, suede, pony hair, logo denim/Macadam canvas and seasonal embellishments. This one is crafted in black leather with logo‑jacquard lining.
Q: How can I check the date code and basic authenticity markers on a Céline Boogie? A: Vintage Céline bags typically have a date code stamped on a small leather tab inside; the code format often appears as letters and numbers separated by a dash. Date codes identify production details and are not unique serial numbers. Authentic heat‑stamps and consistent logo fonts are also important markers. If you need help locating or interpreting the code, our team can assist.
Q: How should I care for the leather on a vintage Boogie? A: Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid overfilling, prolonged sun/heat exposure and direct contact with water, oils or alcohol‑based products. Store it loosely stuffed in its dust bag in a cool, dry place to help maintain structure and prevent creasing. Consider using a pH‑balanced leather conditioner sparingly and test on a discreet area first.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing includes a dust bag. Everything included is always listed under Accessories. If an item such as a strap or box is not listed, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item we sell undergoes multi‑point checks by our in‑house experts, including materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide additional information or photos on request.
