Q: How can I care for a vintage Céline Macadam bag?
A: For routine care, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol-based cleaners, or soaking the bag. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and avoid overfilling it, as this can stress the piping and handles over time.

Q: What should I know about vintage storage smells or marks?
A: As with many vintage bags, light interior marks or a stored-away vintage feel can occur over time. Airing the bag out gently and storing it with acid-free tissue can help, but strong cleaning products should be avoided unless handled by a professional experienced with luxury vintage accessories.

A: According to the product information, this Céline Macadam Tote Bag was made in Italy.
