Q: What fits inside this Céline Macadam Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 40 x 30 x 11 cm, it is well suited to daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetic pouch, a notebook and a small water bottle. It can also suit flat documents and a slim tablet, and a small laptop may fit depending on its exact size and any sleeve used.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. This tote is designed with dual flat shoulder straps, and the listed handle measurement of 28 cm should allow comfortable shoulder carry for many users. Fit can vary depending on personal preference and heavier outerwear.
Q: What materials and details does this bag feature? A: This piece is made in Macadam canvas with light brown leather trim, finished with gold-tone hardware. It has a brown textile lining, one internal pocket and a top zip closure for secure everyday use.
Q: What is Macadam canvas? A: Macadam canvas is a vintage Céline monogram material recognised for its repeating all-over motif and practical, lightweight feel. It is one of the house’s best-known vintage coated canvas styles and is often paired with leather trim for added structure and durability.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: The bag is listed in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows visible watermarks and scuffing on the leather trim and base, the interior has a light trace of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. These signs are consistent with careful previous wear and vintage age.
Q: Does this bag come with any included extras? A: No. The product information states that there are no accompanying extras included with this item.
Q: How should I care for vintage Macadam canvas and leather trim? A: Gently wipe the canvas with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid soaking the material. Keep the leather trim away from prolonged moisture, direct heat and strong sunlight, and store the bag in a cool, dry place with light stuffing to help maintain its shape. For deeper stains or watermarking, a professional bag spa or leather specialist is the safest option.
Q: How can I assess authenticity on a vintage Céline Macadam bag? A: Key points to review include the quality of the canvas and leather, the precision of the stitching, the logo and stamp details, the finish of the hardware and any interior production code or tag if present. With vintage Céline, code formats can vary by era, so overall craftsmanship and consistency are just as important as any single marking.
