OUT OF STOCK
Perfect for work-to-weekend dressing, this vintage Céline Luggage Phantom tote in brown suede adds understated luxury to any look. From office commutes and client meetings to brunch and city breaks, it's an elegant companion for daily essentials.
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 measurements and how is this bag carried? A: The bag measures approximately 30 × 25 × 22 cm with an 11 cm handle drop. It is designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm rather than on the shoulder.
Q: What typically fits inside day to day? A: A long wallet, phone, keys, small cosmetics pouch, compact umbrella, and a water bottle fit comfortably. The flared wings give extra room for soft items when needed—always refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Does it fit a laptop or A4 documents? A: It accommodates A4 documents and most tablets. Slim laptops up to about 12 inches generally fit; many 13‑inch laptops are around 30.4 cm wide and may be too tight. Please compare your device dimensions with the Measurements provided.
Q: How does the Luggage Phantom differ from the regular Luggage? A: The Phantom has a roomier, more open tote design with flared wings and an open top that can be cinched, whereas the classic Luggage has a more structured body and, in many versions, a zipped top. The Phantom was offered in materials such as suede and smooth/grained leathers.
Q: What is the closure and interior layout of this piece? A: As a Phantom, it features an open‑top design with side ties to cinch the silhouette. This specific item has black leather lining with one internal zipped pocket and a front zipped pocket, as shown in the photos and Product Information.
Q: Is the Phantom still being made today? A: The original Phantom from the Phoebe Philo era was discontinued for a period. In 2025–2026, Celine reintroduced a modernised “New Luggage” inspired by the Phantom silhouette. This item is an earlier, vintage piece.
Q: What should I know about the condition of this vintage bag? A: Overall very good with honest wear consistent with age. The suede shows visible signs of wear and some stains; the hardware remains shiny with light scratches; the interior shows a light trace of use. Please review all photos for details.
Q: How do I care for the suede exterior? A: Avoid rain and prolonged humidity, and keep away from dark denim or fabrics prone to dye transfer. Gently brush with a suede brush to refresh the nap, and consider a suede‑safe protector spray applied sparingly and tested on a hidden area. For stains, consult a professional suede specialist. Store stuffed with acid‑free tissue in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight.
Q: Will the suede mark or transfer colour? A: Suede can both pick up dye from darker textiles and release colour onto light garments. Minimise risk by protecting before use, avoiding friction against contrasting fabrics, and letting the bag dry fully if it gets damp before lightly brushing the surface.
Q: What is included and how is authenticity ensured? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section; this piece does not list any extras. Every item at A Retro Tale is meticulously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps and hardware. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
