Delivery & Returns
Q: What is the Céline Macadam pattern? A: Macadam is Céline's historic monogram canvas, known for its understated repeating motif and vintage appeal. On this bag it is paired with black leather trim and brass hardware for a classic Boston-bag look.
Q: What typically fits inside this Medium Boston Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 30 x 28 x 15 cm, it suits everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, a small cosmetics pouch and a compact tablet or paperback. Please use the measurements on this page as the best guide to capacity.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This version is designed primarily as a handheld or crook-of-the-arm style with dual leather handles. The listed drop is 15 cm, so some may be able to carry it on the shoulder depending on build and outerwear, but it is not a dedicated crossbody design.
Q: Is a Boston bag shape practical for everyday use? A: Yes. The Boston shape is popular because it is structured, roomy for its footprint and easy to organise through the top zip opening. This size works well as an everyday vintage bag and can also suit light day trips, though it is not large enough to replace a full weekender.
Q: What condition is this item in? A: This bag is listed in Very Good Condition. The exterior shows visible wear and scuffing to the leather trim and canvas, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: How should I care for vintage Macadam canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft, barely damp cloth and dry it afterwards. Avoid harsh cleaners, soaking, alcohol-based products and prolonged direct sun or heat. Store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag or cotton pillowcase to help preserve the shape and protect the leather trim.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country-of-origin label for this piece is Italy.
Q: Is a serial number listed for this bag? A: No serial number is noted in the current product information. Many vintage Céline bags are assessed through a combination of overall construction, interior markings, hardware, stitching and finish rather than one detail alone. If you would like extra interior details before purchase, please contact us.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: No additional product information is listed for this bag. If you would like confirmation about anything shown in the photos before purchase, please contact us.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by in-house experts using detailed checks of materials, construction, hardware, stamps and other model-specific details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
