Hello,
can anybody help me give a name to this bag? Any information is welcome. I would also like to know how much is might be worth. I know nothing about it.
Thanks in advance! :blushing:

Hi would someone kindly help me out with this phantom please?

I'm not quite sure if it's authentic but I really like the colour. Has Celine actually produced this colour in phantom or mini luggage? TIA!

Hi ladies, I am not 100% familiar with Celine and am wondering if you can help me ID a non-luggage piece. I was at a store yesterday and I saw a black celine with smooth leather (seemed like lamb) and it looked like a regular plain tote. It was a bit longer than wide with no clasp at the top. Just two somewhat flimsy handles. It looked fairly classic and doesn't look anything like the luggage bags. I'm not sure if this is enough information to ID and I do not have a picture. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yep, definitely sounds like a vertical cabas to me.

Thanks for the affirmation!! The only thing that I find odd is that there was no closure whatsoever on the top. No zipper, no clasp, no snap, nothing. In the few pics that I have found of this bag, there seems to be a zipper closure. Can you explain the difference? Also, the bag I saw seemed to be a smaller size. It appears that there a two sizes? Sorry for so many questions.

I've seen quite a few vertical cabas bags over the past few months (I was in Paris and London and checking out as many Céline boutiques and department store stockists as possible since I was looking for a particular horizontal cabas) and all of them were without zips or any kind of closure. That's the most popular and most widely available design for the cabas bags at the moment. A few seasons ago there were some cabas bags with clasps at the top (not a great design, I thought, since the bag would have to be almost completely empty for the clasp to be able to close without stretching the leather). Also, back in May I did see a couple of cabas bags with zips along the top for closing the bag, but I haven't seen any since then.

I haven't had a problem with the lack of a closure on my horizontal cabas, even though I usually prefer bags that zip securely shut. I haven't had anything fall out of my bag and I don't feel like security is a problem, but it would be different with a vertical cabas, since my horizontal cabas sits upright when I set it down, whereas a vertical cabas would fall over sideways. You'd probably need to lean the vertical one against something to prevent things from falling out whenever you put it down.

And yep, there are two sizes for the vertical cabas. There's a smaller size with a longer handle (one that fits over the shoulder) and a larger size with a shorter handle (meant for carrying in the crook of your arm). You can see a comparison of the sizes here:
