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 is the Céline Macadam pattern? A: Macadam is Céline’s vintage all-over monogram motif, usually seen in brown tones with repeating C-inspired shapes. It is one of the house’s most recognisable archival patterns and is especially popular on earlier bags.
Q: What is this tote made from? A: This bag is crafted in brown Macadam pony hair with brown leather trim, silver-tone hardware, dual leather handles and a brown logo fabric lining. It is a vintage piece made in Italy.
Q: What typically fits inside this tote? A: With approximate measurements of 41 x 25 x 22 cm, it is a roomy everyday tote. It should comfortably hold a wallet, phone, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch, a diary and a water bottle, with space for other daily essentials. If you plan to carry a laptop, we recommend comparing your device to the listed measurements first.
Q: Can it be carried on the shoulder? A: The bag has dual leather handles with an approximate handle drop of 17 cm. Many customers will find that suitable for hand carry or light shoulder carry, although the fit under the arm will depend on your frame and what you are wearing.
Q: Does this item come with any additional included items? A: No. According to the product information for this listing, there are no additional included items with the bag.
Q: What is the condition of this vintage bag? A: It is listed in very good condition overall. There is visible wear on the corners, light traces of use inside, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: Is pony hair a delicate material? A: Yes. Pony hair is a striking finish, but it is generally more delicate than smooth leather or coated canvas. Over time, friction at the corners and other contact points can cause thinning or worn areas, which is normal for hair-on materials.
Q: How should I care for pony hair? A: Brush it very lightly in the direction of the hair with a soft brush, and dab rather than rub if it gets marked. Keep it away from heavy rain, humidity, heat and rough or abrasive surfaces. For storage, keep it in a breathable fabric bag rather than plastic, and avoid harsh cleaners or heavy leather conditioners on the hair-on surface.
Q: Does the absence of a serial number in the listing mean the bag is not authentic? A: Not necessarily. Vintage Céline bags are often identified by date codes rather than a modern unique serial number, and older pieces can have different code formats or placements. This listing simply does not note a serial number in the product information.
Q: How is a vintage Céline Macadam bag usually authenticated? A: Authentication is usually based on a combination of details such as the monogram pattern, stitching, leather trim, hardware, interior stamp, country marking and any date code if present. With vintage Céline, the overall quality and consistency of these details matter more than any single feature on its own.
