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 typically fits inside this Céline Macadam pouch? A: With approximate measurements of 16 × 13.5 × 5 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a cardholder, keys, lip balm, compact, and earbuds. Most regular smartphones up to around 15 cm in length can fit; larger “Plus/Max” models may be snug. Please compare your device to the measurements for certainty.
Q: Is the Macadam canvas real leather? A: The Macadam exterior is a coated canvas (often PVC or resin-coated) that is lightweight and hard-wearing, paired with leather trim. It offers good everyday durability and is more resistant to surface scuffs than many smooth leathers.
Q: Is the pouch water-resistant? A: Coated canvas is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Light splashes are fine—simply wipe dry with a soft cloth. Avoid soaking the pouch and protect the leather trim from prolonged moisture and heat.
Q: How should I care for it? A: Wipe the canvas with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth and mild soap if needed; avoid alcohol, harsh cleaners, or magic sponges. Nourish leather trim sparingly with a neutral cream and allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place to help maintain shape.
Q: Does this pouch come with a strap or any extras? A: No. This is a standalone zip-top pouch without a strap or chain. Everything included is listed under product information; if an item (such as a dust bag) is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What is the story behind the Macadam/Triomphe motif? A: The interlocking “C” motif, often called Triomphe or Blazon Chaîne, traces back to the early 1970s and was inspired by the chain links around Paris’s Arc de Triomphe. It became a signature of vintage Céline and has been revisited in modern collections.
Q: Is this the vintage “Céline” with the accent on the logo? A: Yes—vintage pieces typically carry the “Céline” logo with the accent. In 2018, the brand’s modern logo was updated to “CELINE” without the accent, so the accented mark is characteristic of earlier items.
Q: Do Céline bags have serial numbers—how do date codes work on vintage pieces? A: Céline uses date codes rather than unique serial numbers. Many items show an embossed code indicating factory and production timing. Formats can vary on vintage pieces, and some codes may be faint or placed in different positions. Our team authenticates beyond codes, examining materials, stamping, stitching, hardware and overall construction.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: Italy.
Q: Can I use it as a cosmetic pouch? A: Yes, it works well as an organiser for small beauty items. Because the interior is leather, avoid spills, cap liquids securely, and place products in smaller sleeves if you use it for cosmetics to keep the lining in good condition.
