Céline Luggage Phantom Bag

Q: What typically fits inside the Medium Luggage Phantom?
A: With approximate measurements of 28 × 30 × 23 cm, it comfortably holds A4 documents/folders, a long wallet, phone, a small cosmetic pouch, sunglasses case, a compact umbrella and a tablet or slim 11-inch device. For 13-inch laptops, fit depends on the device’s footprint and sleeve; we recommend checking your measurements against the bag’s width and using a protective sleeve for structure.

Q: Does this model come with a shoulder strap?
A: No. The Luggage Phantom is designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm via dual rolled top handles. The handle drop on this piece is approximately 12 cm.

Q: How does the bag close and how secure is it?
A: It has an open top with a leather strap closure that cinches the opening. The side laces can also be tightened to draw in the wings slightly. For travel or crowded commutes, we suggest using a zipped pouch inside for valuables.

Q: What’s the difference between the Phantom and the standard Luggage Tote?
A: The Phantom has a wider, more relaxed base with prominent side wings, an open top with strap closure, and a front zipped pocket with a braided leather pull. The standard Luggage Tote is more structured and typically features a zipped top. Both share the signature front panel and “smile” motif, but they are distinct models.

Q: Is the Phantom still produced by Celine?
A: The original Phantom Luggage introduced in the early 2010s is no longer part of the regular core line, which is why most pieces are found pre-loved. Celine has recently revisited the look with newer iterations, so availability of current-season versions may vary; this item is a vintage/pre-loved piece.

Q: What is the lining and how should I care for it?
A: This bag features an orange suede lining. Keep liquids and pens contained in pouches, gently brush the suede with a clean suede brush to lift surface dust, and allow any incidental moisture to air dry naturally away from heat. For the leather exterior, wipe with a soft dry cloth and avoid prolonged direct sunlight or heavy rain.

Q: Does it include any extras?
A: Everything included with this piece is listed in the product information. For this item, brand booklets are included. If a dust bag, card or other items are not listed, they are not included.

Q: How can I tell the age or authenticity of a Céline Phantom?
A: Céline uses a debossed date code rather than a unique serial number. On many bags it appears on a small leather tab or embossed into the lining and typically follows a letter-letter-letter/four-number format (for example, F-GA-0123), indicating factory and production week/year. Authentic pieces also show consistent logo fonts and high-quality stitching and hardware. Our team can help locate and interpret the code on request.

Q: Will the Phantom keep its shape over time?
A: The Phantom is a soft-structured tote that is meant to relax slightly with use. To help it keep its lines, avoid overloading, store it standing on its protective feet, and stuff the body with acid-free tissue when not in use. Tightening the side laces can also help reduce flare at the wings.

Q: What are the key exterior features on this piece?
A: Orange leather with gold-tone hardware, dual rolled handles, a front zipped pocket with braided pull, an open top with strap closure, and four protective base feet. This piece is graded Very Good with light scratches to the leather, light corner scuffing, and light interior signs of use, and the feet show light scratches/discolouration.
