A chic finishing touch for brunch dates or gallery afternoons, this vintage Céline headband in brown tortoiseshell with a gold‑tone logo lends effortless polish to everyday ensembles and smart‑casual events.
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 is this Céline Logo Headband made from? A: It is crafted from cellulose acetate in a brown tortoiseshell finish with a gold‑tone metal Céline logo. This vintage piece was made in Italy and has light signs of wear consistent with its Very Good condition. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Is the tortoiseshell pattern real tortoise shell? A: No. Modern tortoiseshell finishes recreate the look using cellulose acetate; no wildlife materials are used. This offers the classic mottled look while being durable and ethically produced.
Q: How does the fit work—will it suit my head size? A: As a structured acetate band, it has a gentle flex and is generally suitable for most adult head sizes, but it is not adjustable like elastic styles. For best comfort, position the band just behind the ears and avoid forcing it wider than its natural curve. Please check the Measurements section and photos to gauge scale on you.
Q: How can I stop a hard headband from slipping? A: Try placing it on slightly textured hair rather than freshly washed hair, add a light mist of hairspray or dry shampoo where it will sit, and secure discreetly with two bobby pins crossed under the arms. Non‑slip grips or a tiny line of clear, removable grip tape on the inner tips can also help.
Q: Is it comfortable for all‑day wear? A: Comfort varies by head shape and hair type. If you feel pressure behind the ears, add small clear gel pads or foam end caps to the tips, or rest the band over a book overnight to ease tension slightly. If you are prone to compression headaches from snug headwear, take breaks throughout the day.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Wipe the acetate gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a drop of mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid alcohol, acetone, ammonia, or harsh cleaners, which can cloud acetate and dull metal finishes. Store it on a stand or in a pouch, away from heat and prolonged direct sunlight, to maintain shape and shine.
Q: Will the gold‑tone logo tarnish or fade? A: Gold‑tone finishes can show light surface wear over time. To minimise this, avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, lotions, chlorine, and salt water; after wear, buff gently with a dry, lint‑free cloth. Do not use abrasive polishes on the logo.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section. Unless stated there, additional items such as a box or pouch are not included. If you need clarification, please contact us and we’ll confirm exactly what comes with this piece.
Q: Is this item authentic? A: Yes. Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, including materials, construction, stamps, and logos. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share further details on request.
Q: Can I return headwear for hygiene reasons? A: Policies on hair items can differ by retailer due to hygiene considerations. Please review A Retro Tale’s current Returns policy or contact us before purchasing if you have questions about eligibility and conditions.
