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 the Céline Vintage Bowling Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 42 x 24 x 21 cm, this is a roomy everyday size. It should comfortably hold a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, cosmetics pouch, water bottle, notebook or tablet, and a light layer. As with most bowling bags, the curved top zip means the opening can feel slightly narrower than the widest part of the bag.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: It has dual rolled handles with an approximate handle drop of 18 cm and no shoulder strap is included. Depending on your frame and what you are wearing, it may sit briefly on the shoulder, but it is best suited to hand carry or carrying in the crook of the arm.
Q: Does the bag close securely? A: Yes. This piece has a top zip closure, which helps keep your belongings enclosed and makes it practical for day-to-day use or travel.
Q: Is a bowling bag a practical everyday shape? A: Yes. Bowling bags are loved for their structured yet roomy silhouette, making them a strong choice for daily use when you want more space than a compact handbag without moving into full travel-bag territory.
Q: What condition is this vintage bag in? A: It is listed in Very Good condition overall. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, while the gold-tone hardware remains shiny with light scratches consistent with gentle vintage wear.
Q: Does this item come with any extra pieces? A: No additional items are included with this piece. Please refer to the product information on this page for what is included with the bag.
Q: Does it have a serial number or date code? A: No serial number is listed in the product information for this item. Céline bags are typically associated with date codes rather than unique serial numbers, and code placement can vary by era and style. If this detail is important to you, it is worth requesting an extra confirmation before purchase.
Q: How should I care for the brown leather? A: Gently wipe the leather with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, then dry it fully. Avoid harsh cleaners, over-conditioning, prolonged sunlight, heat, humidity, and contact with rough or dark-dyed fabrics that may cause rubbing or colour transfer. For storage, keep it lightly stuffed in a breathable bag so it holds its shape.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Céline bag? A: Authentication should never rely on one detail alone. Vintage Céline pieces are usually assessed through a combination of leather quality, construction, stitching, logo and stamp details, hardware, lining, shape, and any date-code markings where present. At A Retro Tale, vintage items are professionally vetted before sale.
