This Céline Triomphe belt in brown leather is a refined choice for everyday tailoring or polished weekend looks. In very good vintage condition, it features gold-tone hardware, the signature Triomphe buckle and contrast stitching, with light traces of use and scratches to the shiny hardware.
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 does size 85 mean on a Céline Triomphe belt? A: Size 85 refers to the belt length in centimetres, measured to the middle hole. On current CELINE size guidance, size 85 corresponds to 85 cm or about 33.5 inches and is generally closest to an EU 38 trouser size or roughly a 28-inch jeans size. The best way to judge fit is to measure where you plan to wear it, whether at the waist or lower on the hips. As this is a vintage item, very slight variation from a brand-new piece can occur.
Q: Is a 2 cm-wide Triomphe belt practical for everyday wear? A: Yes. At 2 cm wide, this is a slim and versatile belt that should generally fit through most standard trouser and jean belt loops. It also works well over dresses, blazers or knitwear if you prefer a more discreet, refined finish rather than a wider statement belt.
Q: Is this belt reversible or is the buckle detachable? A: No. This listing is for a classic single-sided Triomphe belt with a fixed strap and buckle. CELINE has released separate customisable reversible belt styles, but this piece is not one of those designs.
Q: Will the gold-tone Triomphe buckle show scratches easily? A: Polished gold-tone hardware can develop hairline scratches with normal use, so this is a very common question with Triomphe belts. On this piece, the hardware is described as shiny with scratches, which means signs of wear are already present and consistent with its vintage, pre-owned condition.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: To help preserve the belt, keep it away from water, oils, perfume, cosmetics, rough surfaces, strong heat and prolonged direct light. If it gets damp, blot it gently with a soft light-coloured cloth. Light surface marks can sometimes be softened with a very gentle buff using a dry, soft cloth. For storage, keep it in a breathable fabric pouch rather than plastic.
Q: What condition is this belt in? A: It is listed in Very Good condition. The leather shows light traces of use, while the hardware remains shiny but has visible scratches. As with most vintage pieces, the photos and measurements give the clearest impression of its present character and wear.
Q: Does this item come with a box, dust bag or other inclusions? A: No. This belt is listed with no additional inclusions. Please rely on the product information for the exact contents of the purchase.
Q: How do you authenticate this Céline belt? A: A Retro Tale states that every item is reviewed and authenticated by in-house experts as part of its authentication process. The company also offers a separate digital authenticity certificate service on many listings for customers who would like additional documentation.
