Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: This style is primarily designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. The handle drop is approximately 11 cm, so shoulder carry may be limited depending on your frame and outerwear. No shoulder strap is included with this item.
Q: What material is this bag made from, and does it need special care? A: This bag is made in crocodile-embossed nubuck, which has a soft, velvety finish and should be handled with extra care. Nubuck is more delicate than smooth leather and can be sensitive to moisture, colour transfer, friction, and oils from hands or cosmetics. It is best stored away from heat and humidity and handled with clean, dry hands.
Q: How should I care for a nubuck bag like this? A: Gently brush the surface with a soft nubuck or suede brush to lift dust and maintain the texture. Avoid water, rain, heavy rubbing, and harsh cleaners. If the bag gets damp, dab it carefully with a soft light-coloured cloth and let it dry naturally. For long-term storage, keep it lightly stuffed and placed in a breathable dust bag.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: This item is rated in good condition. The exterior shows marks and wear to the handle base, the interior has minor marks and some dents, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the product information and images carefully for the best understanding of its current vintage condition.
Q: Does this item come with any accessories? A: No. According to the product information, this bag comes with no accessories. If an item is not listed in the product information, it is not included with the purchase.
Q: Was the Céline Phantom discontinued? A: Yes, the Phantom line is a discontinued Céline design, which is one reason it remains popular on the pre-owned market. Its distinctive winged silhouette and spacious shape have made it one of the house’s most recognisable vintage bag styles.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: According to the product information, this bag was made in Italy.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked for authenticity by specialists using detailed assessments of materials, construction, hardware, stamps, and overall design characteristics. We only sell authentic items and stand behind the pieces we offer.
