Cabas Celine vintage XXL

Model history

This tote bag is part of Celine’s emblematic pre-Hedi Slimane period, when Phoebe Philo’s artistic direction imposed a clean, structured and intelligent style. Far from ostentatious logos, the Celine cabas reflected a discreet yet powerful aesthetic. This model in particular, in its XXL version, bears witness to the ambition to create accessories that are as useful as they are stylish. Designed to last and accompany the modern woman wherever she goes, it combines architectural rigor with urban flexibility.

Exterior details

The bag’s exterior features smooth dark chocolate leather on the sides, handles and top band, subtly embossed with the Celine logo in tone-on-tone capital letters. The body of the bag is in textured white leather, contrasting elegantly. The lines are clean, almost graphic, and the rectangular format accentuates the purity of the design. The flat handles make the Paule comfortable to carry, despite its volume. Two light orange spots are visible on the front of the bag, as are a few signs of wear on the bottom corners (light marks and rubbing, consistent with the bag’s age and use).

Interior details

The interior is lined with Celine’s signature all-over chocolate check textile, adding a distinctive vintage touch. There’s a large zipped pocket integrated into the lining, ideal for securing essentials. The interior space is extremely spacious, capable of holding a laptop, clothes, documents or bulky personal effects. The absence of dividers accentuates freedom of use, while maintaining a certain rigor thanks to the quality of the workmanship.

Product status

This vintage Celine bag is in very good overall condition, with moderate signs of wear on the leather corners and a few discreet marks on the white leather. The interior is clean, with no major tears or stains, and the zippered pocket closure works perfectly. It retains its structural shape and strong aesthetic despite the passage of time. A perfectly functional bag with the patinated charm of authentic vintage.

Maintenance tips

To preserve this bag over time, we recommend maintaining it with a leather-specific cleansing milk, paying particular attention to dark areas to avoid drying out. White leather can be cleaned with a soft, slightly damp cloth. It is advisable to store the bag in a protective cover away from light and humidity, and to avoid heavy loads which could deform the structure.

Why choose this product

This Celine XXL tote is much more than a bag: it’s a stylish travel companion. Its rare format, vintage patina and timeless design make it both practical and highly desirable. It will appeal to lovers of authentic Celine pieces, especially those who appreciate the era of elegant sobriety. It’s the perfect choice for those looking for a capable, unique and resolutely chic bag.
