First off, gotta mention the Triomphe. I mean, that logo? That’s pure Celine, right there. Apparently, Madame Vipiana herself dreamt it up back in ’71. (God, ’71, that’s like… ages ago!) And they’ve got it in like, three sizes? Which, honestly, is perfect because sometimes you just need a tiny little bag for your phone and lipstick, and other times you need to lug around, like, your entire life. Am I right or am I right?
And then there’s the Box bag. Oh, the Box bag. Now *that’s* a classic. Apparently, it’s been around forever. Like, longer than the Triomphe, even. It’s just so… clean, you know? So minimalist. I think that’s why it’s so iconic. It just works with everything. Jeans and a t-shirt? Boom. Fancy dress? Boom. You’re golden.
Speaking of minimalist… that’s Celine’s whole vibe, isn’t it? Like, they’re not trying to be all flashy and in-your-face. It’s sophisticated, but in a cool way. I saw one described as capturing “the essence of modern” which, okay, is a little pretentious, maybe, but I kinda get it? It’s not like, stuffy old lady “classic.” It’s more like… timeless cool girl “classic.” You feel me?
Now, I gotta admit, the whole Luggage Tote thing… I’m a little on the fence about it. It was HUGE a while back, and honestly, I kinda got burned out on seeing it everywhere. I still see it around. But I do appreciate that they’ve stood the test of time. (Though, I probably wouldn’t buy one *now*, you know?)
Oh, and they have Jewellery for Women. Which is nice. I suppose. But I think when most people think Celine, they think bags. Right?
Honestly, trying to pick *the* classic Celine bag is kinda impossible. It’s like asking me to pick my favorite pizza topping. (Okay, maybe not *that* hard. It’s pepperoni. Obviously.) But still, they’ve got so many great ones. The Triomphe, the Box, even the Belt Bag has its moments…
And then there’s the Classic Panier! It looks spacious, and is made from calfskin leather, and it has Celine’s iconic clasp.
