Perfect for back-to-office days and chic evenings, this vintage Céline Triomphe Box Bag in black leather with gold-tone hardware elevates tailored looks. An adjustable shoulder strap and three compartments keep essentials in order, while the signature Triomphe flap lends timeless polish.
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 typically fits inside this Vintage Triomphe Box Bag? A: With dimensions of approximately 25 × 18 × 5 cm and three interior compartments, it comfortably holds a smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses, and a few small cosmetics or a passport. Bulkier items like a water bottle, A4 documents, or a laptop will not fit.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: Yes. The single strap is adjustable (approx. 40 cm drop, adjustable), allowing most users to wear it on the shoulder and, for many frames, as a shorter crossbody. Fit will vary by height and preferred drop.
Q: How delicate is the leather and clasp in daily use? A: Smooth calf/similar “box” finish leathers are known to show fine surface scratches and develop a patina with wear; hairline marks on the flap and around the clasp are normal. The gold-tone Triomphe closure can also pick up micro-scratches with regular use. To minimise visible wear, avoid rubbing against abrasive surfaces and sharp hardware on clothing or accessories.
Q: How should I care for and store the bag? A: Wipe the exterior gently with a clean, soft, dry cloth after use. For light surface marks, very sparing use of a suitable neutral leather lotion on a soft cloth can help; avoid harsh cleaners, oils, or colour-specific products. Keep the bag away from rain and prolonged heat/sunlight, and store it stuffed to maintain shape in a breathable dust bag when not in use.
Q: Is this specific piece authentic? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
Q: Does this bag have a date code or serial number? A: Many Céline bags use date codes rather than unique serial numbers, and older/vintage models may show different or less standardised formats—or occasionally none at all. A matching code is not, by itself, proof of authenticity; overall craftsmanship and details are assessed together.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing states no accessories are included. All extras (e.g., dust bag, cards) would be listed under Accessories; if not listed, they are not included.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: It is graded in good overall condition with visible scratches on the leather, some corner scuffing, and interior scratches/marks on the lining. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for close‑ups of wear.
Q: Any tips to reduce future wear? A: Rotate with other bags, avoid overfilling to keep the flap and gussets from stretching, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim onto light leathers. Using a soft cloth to buff minor hairline marks and storing the strap tucked inside can help keep the exterior looking its best.
