This vintage Céline Carriage Bag in black leather with gold-tone hardware is a refined choice for city lunches, gallery visits or evening dinners. Featuring a single adjustable shoulder strap, flap closure and a tonal leather-lined interior with three compartments, it brings classic vintage elegance to both everyday wear and smarter occasions.
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 Carriage Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 23.5 × 19 × 6 cm and a three-compartment interior, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, small wallet, keys, card holder, lipstick and sunglasses. It is a compact vintage shoulder bag rather than a large day bag, so bulkier items such as a tablet or water bottle are unlikely to fit comfortably.
Q: Can this bag be worn cross-body? A: This piece has a single adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 31 cm. For most people, that makes it best suited to shoulder wear rather than a long cross-body fit, although how it sits can vary depending on height and styling preference.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag features a tonal leather lining with three compartments, making it easy to separate everyday essentials. The flap closure helps keep the contents secure while preserving the structured vintage silhouette.
Q: What condition is this vintage bag in? A: It is listed in very good condition. The exterior shows light scratches on the leather and some tarnish on the strap, the interior has light tarnish, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. As with most vintage smooth leather bags, gentle signs of age and use are to be expected.
Q: Is this an authentic vintage Céline bag even if no serial number is shown? A: Vintage Céline bags are usually assessed through a combination of era-correct details, including leather quality, construction, logo, hardware and interior markings. Older Céline pieces do not always present codes in the same way newer bags do, so an empty serial-number field in a resale listing is not automatically a concern on its own.
Q: What is special about the Carriage design? A: The Carriage, or horse-and-carriage, motif is one of Céline’s recognisable vintage house signatures and is especially popular with collectors of old Céline. It gives the bag a refined, classic look that feels elegant and understated rather than trend-led.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Wipe the leather gently with a soft dry cloth after use, avoid rain, direct heat and prolonged sunlight, and store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape. Because this piece already shows light scratches and tarnish, harsh cleaners or metal polishes are best avoided unless handled by a specialist.
Q: Does it come with any original extras? A: This item is listed with no additional inclusions. If you are checking for an original dust bag, box or other accompanying items, it is best to rely on the product information shown on this page.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country-of-origin label states Italy, which is consistent with many vintage Céline leather bags and adds to its classic European craftsmanship appeal.
