Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Céline Mini Ava Bag? A: This mini size is best for compact essentials such as a card holder, keys, lipstick, earphones and a few small daily items. With measurements of approximately 17 x 9.5 x 5 cm, it is ideal for light carry rather than bulky essentials.
Q: Will this bag fit a phone? A: It may fit smaller phones, but larger models can be a tight fit because of the compact crescent shape and zip opening. We recommend comparing your phone to the Measurements on this page before purchasing.
Q: Can the Mini Ava be worn crossbody? A: No, this style is designed as a shoulder bag. This item has a single flat adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate handle drop of 16 cm, so it sits best on the shoulder or carried neatly by hand.
Q: Is the strap adjustable? A: Yes, this bag features an adjustable shoulder strap, which helps you fine-tune the fit on the shoulder.
Q: Does the bag close securely? A: Yes, it has a top zip closure, which helps keep your essentials secure while maintaining the sleek Ava silhouette.
Q: What condition is this particular bag in? A: This item is in very good vintage condition. The exterior has a small mark on the leather, the interior shows a light trace of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Is this a good everyday bag? A: It works very well for essentials-only days, evenings out, or light daily use. If you usually carry larger items such as a long wallet, bottle, sunglasses case or several cosmetics, you may prefer a larger bag.
Q: What is this bag made from? A: According to the product information, this piece is crafted in black leather with gold-tone hardware, giving it a refined look that is easy to dress up or down.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin for this item is Italy.
Q: Are any extras included with this bag? A: No additional items are listed in the product information. If you would like to confirm what is included, please refer to the product information for this specific listing.
Q: How should I care for a vintage leather Ava bag? A: To help preserve the leather, avoid overfilling the bag, keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight and moisture, and wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after use. When not in use, store it lightly stuffed in a breathable bag to help maintain its shape.
