A substantial vintage Celine travel bag in the house’s classic brown Macadam monogram.
The large rectangular Boston shape is finished with natural tan trim, reinforced
corners, twin vertical straps, rolled top handles, and warm brass-tone hardware.

The coated canvas has developed a softened, relaxed structure through use, while
the leather has darkened and marked naturally with age. A central Celine Paris logo
patch anchors the front, and the zip closure is accompanied by a padlock, keys, 
and leather clochette.

This is a true weekender scale rather than an everyday handbag. It has enough visual
presence for travel while still reading as a sharp oversized carryall when styled
with tailoring, denim, or a long coat.

**Scale Notes**

Shown with Jayden, the bag reads as a large weekender or travel holdall rather than
an oversized everyday handbag. Its broad base, deep side gussets, and long rectangular
body are suitable for short-trip packing or substantial carryall use.

Exact measurements are not included in this image set.

**Condition**

**Good vintage condition.**

The Macadam coated canvas remains visually strong and the monogram is clearly legible
throughout. The bag retains its functional travel silhouette with expected softening
and creasing from use.

The natural tan trim and handles show substantial patina, including darkening, water
marking, scratches, scuffs, edge wear, surface variation, and wear around the corner
reinforcements. The brass-tone hardware shows age-related tarnish and surface wear.
The body has relaxed through use rather than retaining a rigid structure.

The padlock, keys, and leather key clochette are present in the photos. Please review
all images carefully, particularly the handles, trim, corners, piping, zipper area,
and side gussets.

**Styling Notes**

Use it as a polished weekend holdall or oversized everyday carryall. The warm brown
monogram works especially well with camel outerwear, raw denim, black tailoring,
cream knitwear, olive utility pieces, and deep burgundy.

The mustard patchwork cardigan shown in the styled photographs is separate inventory
and is not included with the bag.
