Welcome to our list of The 5 Most Classic Celine Bags!
A symbol of modern minimalism and sophistication, the Celine brand is renowned for its understanding of what women really want to wear. Celine is a French ready-to-wear and leather luxury goods brand founded in 1945 by Céline Vipiana. Today they have around 150 stores worldwide and are a symbol of sophistication and luxury.
For many, Celine was known as the brand by women, for women because of former creative director Phoebe Philo, Celine style was a kind of contemporary minimalism. Now under the direction of Hedi Slimane Celine is going on a different direction, but mostly still abstaining from loud logos. The new Celine focuses on a younger clientele while still maintaining amazing quality and an effortless chic style. But when it comes to classic Celine bags, the Old Celine reigns supreme!
The former creative director Phoebe Philo is responsible for most of the iconic Celine bags, and even after ten years they continue to be classic staples. Here I’ll show you 5 classic Celine bags I’m sure you will love.
So, without further ado here are The 5 Most Classic Celine Bags:
1. Celine Luggage
One of the most popular bags of all time and the most famous Celine bag, the Luggage is an icon. Designed by the queen of minimalism herself, it was Phoebe Philo’s first It bag, released in the Spring 2010 collection. With its distinctive front face adorned with a zipper and availability in multiple colors and materials, it is not hard to see why the Celine Luggage, even after a decade of its launch, still appeals to fashion connoisseurs of all ages and tastes. This bag was extremely popular in the 2010’s and because of it’s minimalist style and colors, it really would be a staple in your collection.
I know this bag is not so popular anymore and some might say it is out of fashion, but as Yves Saint Laurent said: “fashion fades, style is eternal”. And this is an eternal bag.
2. Celine Classic Box
Another stunning creation of Phoebe Philo, the Box bag was launched in 2011 and it was an instant hit! This bag is at the same time contemporary and classic, is the perfect day bag and would probably be one of the most used bags in your collection. As always when it comes to Celine, this bag is crafted with the best materials and incredible craftsmanship. There is even on in lizard skin if you like exotic leathers. This bag has a classic flap style with a structured silhouette and an adjustable strap, that allows you to wear the bag crossbody or over the shoulder.
This bag is a Philo design but is also modern and fits the new Celine style.
3. Celine Belt Bag
This is another one of the classic Phoebe Philo bags! Launched in Celine’s Pre-Fall 2014 collection this bag is casual and refined at the same time. This bag is so versatile you can easily wear it from work to a night out. The bag is characterized by a belt with knots on both ends and the front flap is made to be tucked under it. The relaxed shape and the spacious interior add their unique touch to the complete design, it also has a top handle and a shoulder strap. As the Trapeze this bag is not so popular anymore but that does not mean it is out of style!
This is a minimalist bag that will go with literally every piece of clothing you own. If you like the Old Celine style this bag might be the one for you!
4. Celine Triomphe
This is the perfect everyday crossbody bag. The Celine Triomphe bag was designed by Hedi Slimane in 2018 and it bears the Celine logo designed by Celine Vipiana herself. In 1973, Vipiana introduced a newly designed logo that featured an intertwined double C design, with an intricate center pattern that nodded to the architecture of the Arc de Triomphe.
The bag has become a classic and its understated and minimalistic look is a perfect representation of the New Celine style.
5. Celine Cabas
Designed by Phoebe Philo this is her take on the everyday carryall. She was inspired by paper bags and every new season launched new iterations of this iconic style. Hedi Slimane continues to add to the Cabas family, with some new additions becoming super popular. This bag is credited with having started the tote bag craze a few years ago, and I can definitely see why.
This bag is not only practical but also extremely chic, this is every minimalist’s dream bag.
