Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside this Céline Ball Lock Handle Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 32 x 25 x 15 cm, this bag works well as a roomy everyday handbag. It should comfortably hold daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and a compact tablet or notebook, depending on how you organise the interior.
Q: Is this bag carried by hand or on the shoulder? A: This style is designed to be carried by its dual top handles. The handle drop is approximately 14 cm. There is no shoulder strap listed in the product information.
Q: How does the ball lock closure work? A: The bag features a front flap closure with a ball lock fastening. This type of closure is designed to keep the flap secure while giving the bag its distinctive vintage Céline look.
Q: Does the bag have any extra compartments or pockets? A: Yes. According to the product details, it has two front flap pockets as well as a fabric-lined interior, which helps keep smaller essentials organised.
Q: What condition is this vintage bag in? A: This item is rated in good condition. The exterior shows light traces of use with scratches to the leather, the interior has light traces of use and a light vintage smell, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Does this item come with anything extra? A: No. The product information states that there are no additional items included with this bag.
Q: Is vintage Céline leather prone to scratches? A: Like many structured vintage designer bags, leather of this type can show surface scratches and signs of wear over time, especially with regular use. This is normal for vintage pieces, and this particular bag already has noted scratches in the leather material.
Q: How should I care for and store this bag? A: For day-to-day care, gently wipe it with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or over-conditioning. To help preserve the shape, store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity.
Q: Can the light vintage smell improve over time? A: In many cases, yes. Gentle airing out in a dry, shaded space and proper storage can help reduce a light vintage smell over time. It is best to avoid spraying perfume or using harsh deodorising products directly on the leather or lining.
Q: How can I tell whether a vintage Céline bag is authentic? A: Authenticity is usually assessed through a combination of details including leather quality, construction, stitching, stamp, hardware and overall craftsmanship. At A Retro Tale, all items are carefully vetted for authenticity before sale.
