Elegantly suited to an art opening or dinner in the city, this vintage Céline Triomphe in black smooth leather with gold-tone accents moves seamlessly from day to evening. An adjustable shoulder strap and divided interior keep essentials tidy, bringing refined polish to both tailored looks and a little black dress.
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: Which size is this and how does it compare to current Triomphe sizes? A: This individual piece measures approximately 24 × 18 × 6 cm with a strap measurement of 35 cm. In CELINE’s current line-up, the Triomphe is offered in Mini, Teen and Classique sizes; the Classique is listed at around 22 × 15.5 × 6 cm. Dimensions can vary slightly by season and model, so please rely on the Measurements on this page for this exact item.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: Many Triomphe bags feature an adjustable strap designed for both shoulder and crossbody wear, with an official drop of roughly 44–51 cm. This specific item shows a 35 cm strap measurement, which will wear as a short shoulder length on most people rather than true crossbody. Please check the photos and Measurements to see the hole settings on this piece.
Q: What fits inside day to day? A: It comfortably holds a smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses case and a few small cosmetics. It is not designed for a tablet or a water bottle. Capacity always depends on how you pack; see Measurements for guidance.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: Triomphe flap bags typically feature a structured, accordion-style interior with multiple compartments and an inner zipped pocket, often lined in lambskin. This item has a black leather lining with multiple internal compartments as shown in the photos.
Q: What leather is it, and does it scratch easily? A: The Triomphe commonly uses smooth or shiny calfskin. This finish gives a sleek look but can show light surface marks and hairline scratches with regular use. Minor micro-scratches and gentle patina development are normal, and light rubbing with a soft cloth can reduce the appearance of some marks. Hardware can also pick up fine scratches over time—this is typical wear.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water, oils, perfumes and cleaning solvents. If the bag gets damp, blot gently and allow it to air dry away from heat. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, out of direct sunlight, and avoid high heat or humidity; never store in plastic. Keep the clasp free of lotions or cosmetics to minimise residue.
Q: What type of closure does it have? A: The Triomphe features a metal Triomphe clasp under the flap that provides a secure closure. Open and close it gently and avoid forcing the mechanism to preserve alignment over time.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Everything included is always detailed in the product information section. For this piece, it is noted that no additional items are included. If you would like us to confirm what’s in the box before purchase, please contact us.
Q: Is it authentic and does it have a serial number? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts. CELINE bags typically have internal date codes indicating production details rather than a unique, one‑of‑a‑kind serial number. Placement and formatting can vary by model and year. We can share additional photos of stamps and markings on request.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label on this item states Italy.
