* 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 Céline’s Macadam canvas, and how does it relate to Triomphe? A: Macadam is the vintage name for Céline’s historic monogram canvas first revealed in 1972. Today the house refers to this motif as Triomphe, a link pattern inspired by the chain encircling the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. This pouch is crafted in coated canvas with tan leather trim and a top zip closure.
Q: What typically fits inside this pouch? A: With approximate measurements of 21 × 15 × 8 cm, it comfortably holds a smartphone, small wallet or cardholder, keys, lip balm, compact powder, hand cream, and earbuds or charging cable. A passport also fits. Capacity varies with how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can I use it as a clutch or organiser inside a tote? A: Yes. It works well as a minimalist clutch for essentials, a cosmetic/toiletry pouch for travel, or a tidy organiser inside a larger handbag thanks to its structured coated canvas and secure zip-top design.
Q: Does it have internal pockets or a strap? A: This example has one main compartment with leather lining and a top zip. It does not include a strap. Please review the product information for everything included with this item.
Q: Is the coated canvas water-resistant? A: Coated canvas is durable and water-resistant for light splashes, but it is not fully waterproof. Wipe away moisture promptly and avoid prolonged exposure to rain to protect both the canvas and leather trim.
Q: How should I care for the coated canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth; a tiny drop of mild soap can be used if needed. Avoid alcohol-based products, solvents, or harsh cleaners on the canvas. Keep leather trim away from water; nourish sparingly with a suitable leather conditioner if desired. Store the pouch loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and humidity, to maintain its shape.
Q: Where would I find a Céline date code and what does it mean? A: Many Céline pieces have a small embossed code on a leather tab or along an interior seam. Formats vary by era; on many modern-era pieces you’ll see a pattern like X-XX-#### where letters indicate the factory and the last four digits often denote week and year. Some older vintage items may have shorter or differently arranged codes, or faint stamps. Our team can help locate and interpret the code on request.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: Céline Macadam items were commonly produced in Italy. This listing’s country of origin is Italy, as noted on the product page.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. If an item such as a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this pouch? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional product information or photos on request.
