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 mini bag? A: This is a very compact bag at approximately 13 x 12 x 5 cm, so it is best for small essentials such as a cardholder, keys, folded notes, lipstick and earbuds. Larger items, including many modern phones or sunglasses cases, may be too bulky, so we recommend comparing your own items to the measurements provided.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: Yes. This bag includes a detachable shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 63 cm, as well as a single top handle with an approximate drop of 8 cm. Depending on your height and preferred fit, it can usually be carried by hand, on the shoulder or as a shorter crossbody style.
Q: Does the bag have any interior organisation? A: Yes. It features a black leather lining with one internal pocket, which is useful for keeping very small essentials separate inside the main compartment.
Q: How does the bag close? A: The bag has a flap closure, which helps keep the contents secure while maintaining the structured vintage look of the design.
Q: What condition is this vintage bag in? A: It is listed in Very Good Condition. The exterior shows visible scratches on the leather and cracks on the handle, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Is this bag better for everyday use or occasional wear? A: Its compact size makes it especially well suited to occasions, evenings and lighter daytime use when you only need the essentials. The black leather and gold-tone hardware also make it easy to style casually or more formally.
Q: How should I care for the leather? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid moisture, hand cream, sanitiser, perfume, direct heat and abrasive surfaces. Store it in a breathable dust bag when not in use, and avoid overfilling it, especially as the handle already shows some cracking.
Q: Is a serial number included with this item? A: No serial number is listed for this piece. With vintage Céline bags, interior markings can vary by era, and many pieces use date codes or other production details rather than a modern unique serial number.
Q: How can I check authenticity or explore repair options? A: Authenticity checks for vintage Céline usually focus on the leather quality, stitching, logo stamping, hardware and date-code details when present. For repair, light surface marks may soften with careful maintenance, but handle cracks or hardware issues are best assessed by a professional leather specialist or Céline client service.
Q: What is included in the product information for this bag? A: This item includes a detachable shoulder strap. If any other item is not listed in the product information on this page, it should not be assumed to be included.
