Delivery & Returns
Q: What fits inside the Céline Teen Classic Box Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 18.5 x 16 x 5 cm, this compact crossbody is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, cardholder, keys, lipstick and other small personal items. It has a structured silhouette, so capacity is more limited than on softer bags. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact size of this piece.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: Yes. This bag features an adjustable leather shoulder strap with an approximate strap drop of 50 cm, which generally allows for comfortable shoulder and crossbody wear depending on height and styling preference.
Q: Is the Teen size a good everyday option? A: The Teen Classic Box is often chosen as an elegant day-to-evening size. It is practical for essentials, but its slim, structured design means it is better for light daily use rather than carrying bulkier items such as a water bottle, tablet or large purse.
Q: Is smooth box-style leather prone to scratches? A: Smooth leather is loved for its polished, refined look, but it can show scratches and marks more easily than grained leather. This is normal for this type of finish and part of why many collectors appreciate its character over time. This particular item is listed in Very Good condition with light traces of use and shiny hardware with light scratches.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: To help preserve the leather, keep it away from rain, humidity, direct heat, perfume, make-up and hand sanitiser. Store it in a dust bag when not in use, avoid overfilling it, and use a soft dry cloth for gentle surface care. As with most smooth luxury leather bags, care should be delicate and minimal.
Q: Does the bag have a secure closure? A: Yes. This piece features a flap top with a clasp lock closure, which helps keep essentials secure while maintaining the clean, iconic Box Bag silhouette.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: According to the product information, this bag comes with a dust bag, original tags and receipt. If an accessory is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label states Italy.
Q: Is this item vintage or pre-owned? A: Yes. This listing is described as vintage and pre-owned. That means it has been previously owned and may show gentle signs of wear consistent with age and use, which are already reflected in the condition notes for this item.
Q: How do you verify authenticity on a pre-owned Céline bag? A: At A Retro Tale, pre-owned luxury items are carefully inspected for authenticity using detailed checks such as construction, materials, hardware, stamps and overall craftsmanship. This helps ensure the item is authentic and accurately represented.
