Perfect for a chic city day—brunch, gallery visits and an evening aperitivo—the Céline Teen Triomphe adds refined polish. Compact yet practical, it transitions effortlessly from daytime errands to dinner, elevating a linen dress or tailored denim with understated Parisian charm.
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 dimensions and how much does it hold? A: The Teen Triomphe is a compact everyday bag. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for this specific piece (approx. 18.5 × 13.5 × 6 cm). Inside there are three compartments plus a zipped and a flat pocket, so it comfortably fits a large smartphone, a small wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick and a slim sunglasses case. It will not fit an iPad mini or a water bottle.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody and what is the strap drop? A: Yes. The adjustable strap allows both shoulder and crossbody wear. The official drop range is approximately 35–50 cm; please check the Measurements section for this item’s exact strap setting and adjustability to suit your height and preferred carry.
Q: What are the materials of this version? A: This piece features cream canvas with tan calfskin trim, gold-tone hardware and the signature Triomphe clasp. The interior is leather-lined with multiple compartments and pockets, keeping essentials organised.
Q: How do I care for the canvas and leather trim? A: Protect the bag from humidity and colour transfer, and avoid contact with hand sanitiser, make-up and perfume. If it gets wet, gently dab with a light, absorbent cloth and allow to air dry away from heat. For canvas, spot-clean lightly with a soft damp cloth; for leather trim, wipe with a dry cloth and, if needed, apply a neutral leather cream sparingly. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct light and heat.
Q: How does the Triomphe clasp work and will it scratch? A: The Triomphe is a push-lock style clasp. To open, gently press to release the flap; to close, align the clasp and press until it clicks. Hairline scratches and light swirls can occur with normal wear—minimise by avoiding abrasive surfaces and by storing carefully when not in use.
Q: How does the Teen compare to other Triomphe sizes? A: The Teen sits between the Mini and the Classique/Medium. It is designed to carry daily essentials without bulk. If you routinely carry larger items (like a diary or small tablet), the Classique/Medium offers more room; if you prefer ultra-compact, the Mini is smaller.
Q: Is the strap comfortable over coats? A: Most wearers find the longest setting suitable for crossbody even over light outerwear. For bulky winter layers, the bag may sit higher on the torso—use the multiple holes to fine-tune the drop within the approx. 35–50 cm range.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. For this piece, no additional items are included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate its items? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and codes, and is backed by our authenticity guarantee. We are happy to provide further details or photos on request.
Q: Where is this bag made? A: The Triomphe line is produced in Italy. This item is listed as made in Italy in the product details.
