Céline Denim Macadam Shoulder Bag

Q: What typically fits inside this bag?
A: With measurements of approximately 40 x 26 x 10 cm, it is a roomy everyday size for essentials such as a long wallet, phone, sunglasses, keys, a small cosmetics pouch and a notebook or compact tablet. It is spacious, but we would not recommend overfilling a vintage bag or relying on it for heavier laptops.

Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody?
A: No. This style is designed as a shoulder bag, and with an approximately 16 cm strap drop it is best carried on the shoulder rather than crossbody.

Q: What materials and details does this bag have?
A: This bag is made in brown denim Macadam canvas with brown leather trim, brass hardware, dual rolled leather handles, a brown textile lining, one internal pocket and a magnetic closure.

Q: What condition is the bag in?
A: It is listed in very good vintage condition. There is visible wear on the handles, light traces of use inside, and scratches and tarnish to the hardware. Please review the photos as well for the clearest view of its current condition.

Q: Does it come with any product information?
A: Yes. The included product information for this item is a dust bag.

Q: How should I care for a vintage denim and leather Céline bag?
A: Store it in its dust bag in a dry, well-ventilated space away from direct heat and strong sunlight. Clean the denim gently with a soft cloth and avoid soaking it, harsh chemicals and rough rubbing. The leather trim should also be kept away from excess moisture, oils and abrasive surfaces.

Q: Is a serial number or date code listed for this bag?
A: No serial number is listed on this product page. With vintage Céline, production codes may be absent from a listing or not easily visible, so authentication should be based on the full set of details such as construction, logo, stitching, hardware and provenance.

Q: What is the Macadam pattern?
A: Macadam is one of Céline's recognised vintage monogram patterns, which is part of why these bags remain appealing to collectors and lovers of older Céline styles.

Q: Is this a good everyday vintage bag?
A: Yes. Its generous shape and easy magnetic closure make it practical for daily essentials. As it is a vintage denim-and-leather piece, it is best suited to regular but careful use rather than heavy loads, wet weather or rough commuting.
