Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. This style features dual flat shoulder straps with a handle drop of around 23 cm, which is generally comfortable for shoulder carry. It does not have a detachable long strap listed in the product information.
Q: Does this bag close securely? A: This model has an open top with a leather tie closure. It gives the bag an easy-access tote design while still allowing you to cinch the top slightly for added security and shape.
Q: What is the inside of the bag like? A: The interior is lined in suede and includes internal zip and slip pockets. This gives you a soft, luxurious finish inside, along with a few compartments for organising smaller essentials.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This item is listed in very good condition. The exterior shows rubbing on the corners, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. These are consistent signs of careful pre-owned wear.
Q: What accessory is included with this bag? A: This bag includes a dust bag. Everything included with the item is shown in the product information, so if another accessory is not listed, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for grained leather and suede lining? A: Grained leather is generally durable for everyday use, but it is best to avoid overfilling the bag, prolonged moisture and rough surfaces that can increase corner wear. For care, wipe the leather gently with a soft dry cloth and keep the suede lining clean and dry. When not in use, store the bag in its dust bag and lightly stuff it to help maintain its shape.
Q: Is corner rubbing normal on a Cabas Phantom tote? A: Yes, light wear at the corners is one of the more common signs of use on structured or semi-structured leather totes, especially roomy everyday styles. In this case, the corner rubbing has already been noted in the condition description, so you can purchase with clear expectations of the bag’s current state.
Q: How do you authenticate a pre-owned Céline bag like this one? A: At A Retro Tale, pre-owned designer pieces are inspected for authenticity using details such as materials, construction, logo stamping, hardware quality and overall craftsmanship. With Céline bags, shoppers also commonly look for consistent finishing, correct branding and high-quality leather, as these are key indicators on the resale market.
