Description & history

Vintage Céline Boston Macadam travel bag in coated canvas and beige leather · 50 × 25 × 26 cm · two round handles · two-way zip closure · gold-tone hardware · unisex piece · Made in Italy · grade B.

The Boston Macadam is the iconic travel bag from historic Céline. An elongated cylindrical shape, two round leather handles, and a two-way zip that opens across almost the entire length: a classic of understated travel. The Macadam pattern—interlocking arches on a dark brown background—does not shout the brand, it whispers it. A bag designed to travel discreetly.

This piece is distinguished by its natural beige leather details—a bright, light hue providing a striking contrast with the brown Macadam canvas. Handles, vertical straps, corner reinforcements, and the Céline patch all share this same shade. The leather is in good condition, with no major flaws. The leather patch, embossed with the Céline crest, is positioned on the front between the two straps.

With its 50-centimetre length, the volume is tailored for a proper trip: four days of outfits, a pair of shoes, a wash bag, and a 15-inch laptop fit effortlessly. It is a unisex piece, designed to be hand-carried by anyone. The two-way zip allows the bag to be opened from the centre or the sides depending on how it is packed.

Good overall condition, grade B — the bag shows signs of previous use and light rubbing, consistent with a vintage travel piece. No major flaws. The handles are in good condition with light signs of use. The interior is in good condition with light signs of wear, without major flaws. The bag comes with a RARR Vintage certificate of authenticity.
