Like most brands, Céline usually distributes photos and information about its upcoming collections about six months in advance, and thanks to the wonders of social media, that information then becomes widely available public knowledge almost immediately. Some brands love that (Chanel, for one, which turns all of its debuts into media spectacles for the benefit of shoppers), but others have become weary of the head start it gives to both counterfeiters and fast fashion chains like Zara, who can be selling their copies before the originals even hit stores.
Because of that, several brands, including Céline, chose to keep their Pre-Fall 2016 collections (which, in Céline’s taxonomy, is called Fall 2016) private until their in-store delivery dates have arrived. That day came yesterday, when the brand uploaded images and prices for dozens of new bags to its site. Most of the bags are new renditions of old favorites like the Mini and Micro Luggage Totes, Classic Box Bag and Trio Bags, as well as the newer Belt Bag and Trotteur, but there are a couple totally new (though less notable) styles as well.
The whole lookbook also includes prices, even for exotics, which Céline long kept close to the vest. Check out all the new bags below.
