It is best suited to shoulder carry, and depending on height and styling preferences it may also work as a shorter crossbody for some wearers. As fit varies from person to person, we recommend checking the listed strap measurement carefully.

Q: Does the Medium Box Bag have interior compartments?
A: Yes. The Céline Classic Box design is known for its structured interior that helps keep essentials organised. This piece also features black leather lining and a clasp closure, giving it the polished, boxy look the model is known for.

Q: Is lizard leather delicate?
A: Yes, lizard leather is considered a precious exotic material and should be handled with extra care. It offers a distinctive texture and refined finish, but it can be more sensitive than standard leather to scratches, dryness, moisture and rough handling. Gentle use and proper storage will help preserve its appearance over time.

Q: How should I care for this bag’s lizard skin and leather?
A: Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, ideally in a breathable dust bag. Avoid rain, oils, alcohol-based cleaners and heavy friction. For light surface dust, use a soft, dry cloth and handle the scaled surface gently rather than rubbing firmly. Because this is an exotic material, specialist care is recommended for anything beyond very light cleaning.

Q: What is the condition of this particular bag?
A: This item is rated Very Good Condition. The exterior shows scratches on the leather, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. We always recommend reviewing all product images carefully for the best understanding of the item’s current condition.
