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 fits inside the Céline Medium Clasp Bag? A: With measurements of 32 x 22 x 8 cm, this medium-sized bag is well suited to daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and a compact tablet or paperback. It is best for structured everyday carry rather than bulky items.
Q: Can this bag fit a laptop or A4 documents? A: Not comfortably for most users. While the width is generous, the 22 cm height and structured frame make it better suited to smaller essentials and possibly a small tablet rather than a standard laptop or full-size A4 paperwork.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: This version is designed primarily as a top-handle style. It has a single top handle with an approximate drop of 14.5 cm and no shoulder strap is listed for this item, so it is best carried in the hand or on the arm.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag features a red leather lining with multiple compartments, which helps keep your belongings neatly separated. The structured interior is one of the reasons the Clasp is appreciated as an elegant day bag.
Q: Is the Céline Clasp Bag discontinued? A: The Clasp line is generally considered a discontinued Céline design from the Phoebe Philo era, which is one reason it remains sought after on the pre-owned market. Its clean shape and understated hardware give it strong collector appeal.
Q: Is this type of leather prone to scratches? A: Yes, smooth leather on structured luxury bags can show surface scratches more easily than heavily grained leather. For this specific item, the exterior is noted as very good with some visible scratches on the leather, which is consistent with gentle vintage wear.
Q: What condition should I expect from this particular bag? A: This bag is listed in good overall condition. The exterior shows some visible scratches, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. These details are reflected in the product information for this exact piece.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: This item comes with a dust bag. If you would like to confirm everything included, please refer to the product information section, as only items listed there are included with the purchase.
Q: How should I care for the bag when not in use? A: Store it in its dust bag, keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight and moisture, and avoid overfilling so the structured shape stays crisp. A soft dry cloth is best for light surface cleaning, while deeper conditioning should be left to a leather specialist.
Q: How do you authenticate a pre-owned Céline bag like this? A: At A Retro Tale, pre-owned designer items are assessed through detailed checks of construction, leather, hardware, stamping and overall craftsmanship. If you would like further reassurance on this piece, customer care can provide additional guidance.
