Céline Vintage Triomphe Bag

Q: What typically fits inside this Céline Vintage Triomphe Bag?
A: With measurements of approximately 24 × 17 × 6 cm and a neatly divided interior, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, slim wallet or cardholder, keys, sunglasses, passport, and small beauty items. It is not designed for larger items such as a tablet, water bottle, or laptop.

Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody?
A: This piece is best considered a shoulder bag. The listed strap drop is approximately 35 cm, so it will usually sit higher on the body than modern crossbody versions and is more comfortable worn on the shoulder or tucked under the arm.

Q: How is the inside organised?
A: The bag has a black leather lining with three compartments, one internal zip pocket, and slip pockets. This makes it practical for separating essentials and keeping smaller items easy to find.

Q: What condition is this vintage bag in?
A: The exterior and interior are both listed as Very Good, with light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches, which is normal for a vintage leather bag with gold-tone metal details.

Q: What is included with this bag?
A: No extra included items are listed for this piece. If you would like to confirm whether anything additional is present, please contact us before purchase.

Q: Where was this bag made?
A: The country of origin label states France, which is consistent with many vintage Céline leather bags from this era.

Q: Does this bag have a serial number or date code?
A: This listing does not note a serial number. With vintage Céline bags, markings can vary by era and may appear as date codes rather than unique serial numbers, so authentication is usually assessed through a combination of stamp, materials, construction, and hardware details.

Q: Why is the brand written as Céline rather than Celine?
A: That is normal for older pieces. Vintage bags often carry the earlier Céline branding with the accent, while the house adopted the modern Celine logo without the accent in 2018.

Q: How should I care for a vintage leather Triomphe bag?
A: Keep it away from rain, humidity, direct heat, prolonged sunlight, perfume, make-up, hand cream, and sanitiser. If it gets damp, gently blot it with a soft, dry, light-coloured cloth. Store it in a breathable fabric bag rather than plastic, and lightly stuff it to help maintain its shape.

Q: Is light scratching normal on the clasp and leather over time?
A: Yes. Structured Triomphe styles are loved for their elegant shape, but surface marks, fingerprints, and light hardware scratches can appear with regular use. On this particular bag, light scratches and light traces of wear are already reflected in the condition description.
