In case you missed it, Hedi Slimane’s first bags for Celine recently made their runway debut. Amanda was not enthusiastic, I am pretty nonplussed, and celebs are still turning to their tried-and-true Celine bags of yesteryear. It’s too soon to tell if they will all jump aboard Hedi’s glossy, slick new Celine train in time, but this post reminds us of what we loved about Celine in the first place: big, supple, functional bags that are unmistakably luxe. (And occasionally mini versions of those same bags.) Also, as you might notice, the accent mark is dead. Long live the accent mark.
Alessandra Ambrosio
Alessandra Ambrosio was recently seen at LAX carrying this neutral leather Celine Big Bag.
Diddy
Diddy was spotted carrying this white woven leather Bottega Veneta Briefcase in LA. Designer briefcase offerings can’t be too scant, but we still see so few of them.
Hilary Duff
Here’s Hilary Duff, out and about in LA with her boyfriend Matthew Koma and her bicolor Celine Cabas Tote.
Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey isn’t one to miss an opportunity to flash her croc Birkin. On this occasion, she was dining at Mr. Chow in LA with her boyfriend.
Meghan Markle
Meghan Markle brought this beautiful emerald green Gabriela Hearst Demi Bag along while visiting Chichester in Sussex with Prince Harry.
Nicky Hilton
Here’s Nicky Hilton once again, getting some exercise in with her youngest and a wee Céline Nano Luggage Tote.
Reese Witherspoon
Reese Witherspoon was caught doing a little shopping with this stylish Marni Bandoleer Bag. P.S. It’s flannel season!
Sophie Turner
And finally, here’s Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner, carrying a polka-dotted MCM clutch as she returns to the Corinthia Hotel in London with whichever Jonas brother is hers.
