Elegantly sized for day-to-night plans, this black grained calfskin Céline Mini Belt Bag with gold‑tone hardware is the polished choice for meetings, city strolls or dinner dates. Carry by the top handle or use the detachable shoulder strap; the secure flap-and-zip closure and practical pockets keep essentials organised in style.
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 are the measurements and what does the Mini Belt Bag typically fit? A: This piece is approximately 30 × 21 × 16 cm with a handle drop of about 10 cm and a detachable strap drop of about 36 cm. It comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch and a small tablet or e‑reader. Capacity varies by how you pack; please refer to the Measurements shown on this page for this item’s exact dimensions.
Q: Can the Mini size be worn crossbody? A: The Mini is primarily a hand and shoulder carry bag. With a strap drop of around 36 cm, most wearers will find it too short for true crossbody wear. If crossbody is important, many users prefer the Micro or Nano sizes instead.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: Very secure. The Belt Bag closes with a zipped opening that sits under a top flap with a hidden fastening, so contents are protected even when you’re on the move.
Q: What pockets does it have? A: Inside, you’ll find practical slip pockets for smaller items. There is also a zipped pocket on the back exterior, ideal for travel documents or other slim essentials you want quick access to.
Q: What is the leather and lining, and how durable is it? A: The exterior is grained calfskin, chosen for its refined look and excellent resistance to everyday scuffs and scratches. The interior is suede, which feels luxurious but is more sensitive to liquids and makeup—store items that could leak in pouches to protect the lining.
Q: How should I care for grained calfskin and a suede-lined interior? A: Wipe the leather gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Keep away from prolonged sunlight, heat and rain; if it gets wet, blot dry and let it air‑dry naturally. For the suede interior, use a clean suede brush to refresh the nap and avoid liquid cleaners; spot‑clean carefully and consider a specialist for stubborn marks. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain its structure, and avoid overfilling to prevent stress on seams and corners.
Q: Is “Mini” the largest size in the Celine Belt Bag family? A: Yes—Celine’s naming is unconventional. Within the Belt Bag line, the Mini is the largest size, followed by the Micro, Nano and Pico, each with different strap lengths and capacities.
Q: How does it carry day to day? A: The Mini is structured yet comfortable for everyday use. The top handle is easy to grab, and the shoulder strap offers hands‑free wear on the shoulder. Many owners appreciate that it feels secure and not overly heavy for its size, though weight depends on what you carry.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section for this specific piece. For this bag, a detachable shoulder strap is included. If an item (such as a dust bag) isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, who inspect materials, stitching, stamps, hardware and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
