Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is this Céline Cabas Phantom Tote Bag? A: This is the Small Cabas Phantom. Its measurements are approximately 47 x 29 x 17 cm, with a handle drop of 22 cm, giving it a roomy everyday tote shape.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: The size is generous enough for daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, sunglasses case, cosmetics pouch, notebook, water bottle and a light layer. If you plan to carry a tablet or laptop, we recommend comparing your device to the listed measurements.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. The dual handles and 22 cm handle drop make this style suitable for shoulder carry for many people, while still working well in hand.
Q: Is the Cabas Phantom a good work or everyday bag? A: Yes. The Cabas Phantom is widely loved as an everyday or work tote thanks to its roomy interior, wide opening and understated design. This Small version still offers generous capacity without feeling overly bulky.
Q: Does this bag close securely? A: This bag has an open top with a tie closure. It offers easy access, but it is not a zip-top style, so many owners prefer to keep smaller valuables inside a pouch.
Q: Does it come with a shoulder strap or any extra items? A: No. This item has dual top handles, no detachable shoulder strap, and is listed with no additional items included.
Q: What materials and colour does this bag have? A: It is crafted in black leather with a tonal suede lining and is made in Italy.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: The overall condition is Very Good. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Cabas Phantom? A: To help preserve the shape and leather, avoid overfilling, keep it away from heavy rain, direct heat and prolonged sunlight, and store it upright with light stuffing in a breathable dust bag or pillowcase. Because the lining is suede, it is best to keep liquids and cosmetics well contained.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is checked by specialists for details such as materials, construction, stitching, hardware, logo and overall consistency before it is listed for sale.
