Q: Is this bag suitable for daily use? A: Yes, the Bittersweet is widely appreciated as a practical everyday shoulder bag thanks to its roomy interior, comfortable shoulder carry and classic design. This particular item is in Very Good Condition with light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.

Q: How should I care for vintage leather on this bag? A: We recommend gentle care only.

Q: Is this a good option if I want a classic vintage Céline bag? A: Yes. The Bittersweet is a well-known vintage Céline style loved for its understated look, supple leather feel and easy day-to-day wear. In black leather, it is especially versatile and easy to style across seasons.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Céline bag like this? A: At A Retro Tale, all items are carefully vetted for authenticity using detailed checks of materials, construction, hardware, stamps and overall design consistency. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
