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 Macadam Weekend Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 50 × 24 × 23 cm, the capacity is around 27.6 litres. It comfortably fits a weekend wardrobe (2–3 outfits), a pair of shoes, a toiletry bag, tech essentials, and documents. A 13-inch laptop fits horizontally; use a protective sleeve as the bag is unpadded.
Q: Is this size usually accepted as airline carry-on? A: At 50 cm in length, it generally falls within many airlines’ cabin limits (commonly up to about 55–56 × 45 × 25 cm). Policies vary by carrier and route, so please check your specific airline before travelling.
Q: Does the bag come with a shoulder strap? A: This model is designed for handheld carry with dual rolled leather handles. There is no shoulder strap. The handle drop is approximately 12 cm.
Q: What is Céline’s Macadam canvas? A: Macadam is Céline’s historic monogram coated canvas introduced in the early 1970s. The motif is closely related to what the house now calls Triomphe. It is durable and lightweight, paired here with tan leather trim and gold-tone hardware.
Q: How should I care for the coated canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild pH-neutral soap if needed. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol-based wipes, or abrasives. Keep leather trim away from prolonged moisture and condition sparingly with a quality leather cream. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Q: Will a laptop or tablet fit safely inside? A: Yes, most 13-inch laptops and tablets fit comfortably given the 50 cm length. Use a padded sleeve, as the bag’s interior is not specifically cushioned for electronics.
Q: Does this vintage Céline have a serial number or date code? A: Many vintage Céline pieces feature a date code rather than a unique serial number, and placement can vary by style and year. Not all items have a visible code; its absence does not on its own indicate inauthenticity.
Q: What items are included with this piece? A: According to the product information, this item includes a padlock and a luggage tag. Keys are not listed in the product information, so they are not included.
Q: Is the coated canvas waterproof? A: Coated canvas is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. Wipe away moisture promptly and avoid soaking the leather trim to prevent water marks.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate items? A: Every item is checked by our in-house experts using multi-point inspections of materials, stitching, hardware, brand markings, and any date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we offer and can provide further details on request.
