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 Tweed Shoulder Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 25 × 16 × 10 cm, it comfortably carries everyday essentials such as a smartphone, small wallet, keys, sunglasses and a compact makeup item. The external flap pocket, two side pockets and internal pockets help keep smaller items organised. Please refer to the photos and measurements to confirm your packing style.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: It has a single adjustable leather shoulder strap with an approximate 20 cm drop on the current setting. It is designed for shoulder carry rather than crossbody wear.
Q: Does this item come with any extras? A: Everything included with the bag is listed under the product information on this page. At present, no additional items are listed. If you need clarification, please contact us.
Q: How should I care for the tweed exterior? A: Gently brush the surface with a soft clothes brush or use a lint roller to remove dust. Spot-clean lightly with cool water on a soft cloth and a wool-safe approach; avoid soaking or harsh chemicals. Allow to air-dry naturally away from heat. Store lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, and consider cedar or lavender to deter moths. For difficult stains, consult a professional cleaner experienced with wool/tweed.
Q: What if the bag gets caught in light rain? A: Blot off moisture promptly, then allow the bag to air-dry in a well-ventilated area at room temperature. Do not use direct heat (radiators, hairdryers or sunlight), which can distort wool fibres and leather trim. Once dry, gently brush the tweed to revive its texture.
Q: Will the magnetic snap closure affect my cards or phone? A: Modern chip/contactless cards are generally less susceptible to magnets, but traditional magnetic-stripe cards and hotel key cards can be affected. As a precaution, keep stripe cards and magnetic items in a wallet or an interior pocket away from the closure, and avoid placing them directly against the magnet.
Q: How do Céline date codes work, and will this bag have one? A: Many Céline bags feature a date code (letters and numbers) that indicates production details and placement varies by model and year; the code is not a unique serial number. Some older or certain styles may have different formats or none visible. If you’d like us to check for a code or provide close-up images, we’re happy to help.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is thoroughly examined by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, logo era, hardware and, where present, date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional product information or photos on request.
Q: What wear should I expect from this vintage bag? A: This item is graded Very Good with light traces of use. The exterior and interior show minor, normal wear, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the imagery for an accurate view of condition.
