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 this Céline Ball Lock Handle Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 37 x 21 x 17 cm, this bag is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch, and a compact notebook or small tablet. It offers a roomy vintage day-bag silhouette without feeling overly bulky.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: It features dual top handles with an approximate handle drop of 20 cm. Depending on your frame and what you are wearing, it may sit quite snugly on the shoulder, but it is primarily designed to be carried by hand or on the arm.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag has a flap closure with a ball lock, which gives it a structured vintage look and helps keep your essentials secure for everyday use. As with most vintage flap bags, it is best not to overfill it so the closure sits neatly.
Q: Does this bag have good organisation? A: Yes, for a vintage top-handle style it offers useful organisation. In addition to the main compartment, it has two exterior flap pockets that are handy for smaller items you want to reach quickly.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This item is listed in good condition overall. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches consistent with gentle wear and age.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: This item comes with a dust bag, booklet, and authenticity card. Please refer to the product information on this page for the full list of what is included with your purchase.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number or date code? A: No serial number is listed in the product information for this item. With many Céline bags, collectors often look for a date code rather than a unique serial number, and placement can vary by era and style. This piece also includes an authenticity card, but authentication should always be judged by the bag itself as well as any accompanying documentation.
Q: How should I care for this vintage textured leather bag? A: Wipe the leather gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, oils, and excessive moisture. Store it in its dust bag, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and keep it away from direct heat, prolonged sunlight, and rough surfaces to protect both the leather and the gold-tone hardware.
