Q: What typically fits inside the Céline Small Triomphe Cuir Boston Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 20 × 14 × 10 cm, it holds a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses (without a bulky case), earphones, and a few small cosmetics. Capacity varies by how you pack; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as by hand? A: Yes. It has dual rolled top handles for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry (about 10 cm handle drop) and a detachable, adjustable leather strap for shoulder or crossbody wear. Typical strap drop is around 51–58 cm; this piece measures approximately 58 cm on the longest setting.
Q: Will larger phones or a small tablet fit? A: Most larger smartphones fit comfortably. A slim iPad mini‑sized tablet may fit without a bulky case, but it will be a snug fit and the zipped opening can limit insertion. Comparing your device’s measurements to the bag’s interior is the best guide.
Q: Does a water bottle fit? A: A standard 500 ml bottle will not stand upright due to the 14 cm height. Only some very slim bottles may fit diagonally or horizontally and could reduce space for other items, so it is not recommended for regular use.
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.

Typical strap drop is around 51–58 cm; this piece measures approximately 58 cm on the longest setting.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag has a zipped top closure leading to one main compartment lined in black suede with an inner flat pocket. The simple layout keeps essentials tidy while maintaining a compact profile.
Q: Will larger phones or a small tablet fit? A: Most larger smartphones fit comfortably. A slim iPad mini‑sized tablet may fit without a bulky case, but it will be a snug fit and the zipped opening can limit insertion. Comparing your device’s measurements to the bag’s interior is the best guide.
Q: Does a water bottle fit? A: A standard 500 ml bottle will not stand upright due to the 14 cm height. Only some very slim bottles may fit diagonally or horizontally and could reduce space for other items, so it is not recommended for regular use.
Q: How durable is the smooth calfskin and gold‑tone hardware? A: Smooth calfskin has a refined, semi‑structured feel and can show light surface marks with wear. Gold‑tone hardware may develop hairline scratches over time. Routine gentle care will keep the bag looking polished.
Q: How should I care for the calfskin exterior and suede lining? A: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth after use, keep away from rain and potential colour transfer (for example, dark denim), and condition sparingly with a pH‑balanced product tested first on a hidden area. For the suede lining, use a clean suede brush to lift the nap and avoid liquid cleaners. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number or date code? A: Céline bags typically have an internal date code embossed on a leather tab or the lining, indicating production details. It is not a unique serial number and placement/format can vary by model and year.
Q: Is this style currently offered by Céline? A: Céline continues to offer Small Boston styles in smooth calfskin and Triomphe canvas, with colours and availability varying by season and boutique. This listing is the leather Triomphe Cuir version offered as a vintage/pre‑loved item.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information for this listing includes a detachable shoulder strap. If an item such as a dust bag or box is not listed under product information, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, logo stamps, and date codes where present. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
