Q: How should I care for a vintage Céline Macadam bag?
A: Gently wipe the canvas with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid harsh cleaners or soaking the bag. The leather trim should be kept away from excess moisture, direct heat and prolonged sunlight. When not in use, store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag or cotton pillowcase to help maintain its shape.

Q: Do vintage Céline bags have serial numbers, and how is authenticity checked?
A: Vintage Céline bags typically use date codes rather than unique serial numbers, and older pieces can vary in format and placement. Authenticity is best assessed as a whole by checking the materials, monogram, logo stamp, hardware, stitching, construction and era-appropriate details, rather than relying on one mark alone.
