In very good condition, this vintage Céline Mini Belt Bag in beige grained calfskin is a chic choice for back‑to‑office days, brunches and city breaks. Carry by the top handle for a polished meeting look or go hands‑free with the detachable strap; the compact silhouette keeps daily essentials close with effortless elegance.
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 are the measurements and carry options of this Mini Belt Bag? A: This piece measures approximately 27 × 24 × 17 cm with a handle drop of about 10 cm and a shoulder strap drop of about 37 cm, as listed on this page. It can be carried by the top handle or on the shoulder via the detachable strap.
Q: What typically fits inside the Mini Belt Bag? A: It is a structured medium-to-large everyday bag. It comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and a compact umbrella or a 500 ml water bottle. A slim tablet (around 11 inches) may fit without a bulky case, but A4 papers may be tight due to the flap and zip opening—please refer to the Measurements for your packing style.
Q: Can the Mini be worn crossbody? A: The Mini’s shoulder strap is relatively short and is best suited to shoulder carry. On most heights it will sit high if worn crossbody; the Micro has a longer strap that many people use crossbody. Please check the strap drop noted here against your preferred carry.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The Belt Bag design features a flap with a hidden fastening and a zipped opening underneath the flap. This double closure helps keep contents secure while travelling or commuting.
Q: Does this model have an exterior pocket? A: Yes. The Mini Belt Bag includes a zipped pocket on the back for quick-access items like a travel card or phone, alongside internal slip pockets for organisation.
Q: Does the Mini Belt Bag have metal feet on the base? A: Many Mini Belt Bags are finished with four protective base studs; however, details can vary by production season. Please review our photos to confirm the base on this exact item.
Q: Is “Mini” actually the largest size in the Belt Bag family? A: Yes. Despite the name, the Mini is the largest of the standard Belt Bag sizes (Mini, Micro, Nano, Pico), making it a practical work or day bag.
Q: Is grained calfskin durable and how should I care for it? A: Grained calfskin is known for its durability and ability to resist light scratches. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, avoid harsh cleaners, and let any moisture dry naturally. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat and sunlight. As with all light-coloured leathers, avoid prolonged contact with dark denim to minimise colour transfer.
Q: Is the Mini heavy to carry? A: The Mini is structured and roomy yet not considered overly heavy for its size compared to some other designer totes. Using the shoulder strap and avoiding overloading will keep it comfortable for daily wear.
Q: What is included with this item and how is it authenticated? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section of this page; for this piece, that includes the detachable shoulder strap. Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts before listing, and additional details can be provided on request.
