If there is one singular trend in fashion that is everywhere, it’s all things vintage or vintage inspired. Certain eras are seeing a serious resurgence, particularly the 70s and the 90s. It’s no surprise that the vintage movement is continuing on into the fall, as consumers are shopping actual vintage fashion now moreso than ever. Because of this, designers are continuing to look into their archives for inspiration, releasing new designs that give off an old-school vibe, meaning they’ll remain relevant for years to come.
For its latest bags, Celine is tapping into its rich history once again, introducing a new line of embroidered bags for fall/winter 2020. The designs feature a repetitive Triomphe logo print, which is similar to vintage printed designs from the brand. Named after the Arc de Triomphe, and adapted by Celine’s founder Céline Vipiana, the Triomphe logo is one of Celine’s most important house codes. It has been reimagined by creative director Hedi Slimane time and time again, remaining a staple in the brand’s collections. In its latest iteration of an icon, Slimane has taken a Triomphe logo print and married it with fabric embroidery.
The Triomphe Embroidered bags are crafted from embroidered textile with calfskin trimmings and feature a coordinating textile lining. Designs from this line feature gold hardware detailing, though the exact hardware varies based on design. While the Cabas tote bears a leather patch with a gold Triomphe medallion, the line’s Boston bag has a drop chain with a hanging padlock, key and Mallion Triomphe charm. The chain can also be customized with personal charms which are sold separately.
Both bags are available via Celine, as part of the Winter Part 1 Drop. The Cabas tote retails for $2,600, while the Small Boston Bag sells for $2,450.
R.I.P Celine. I see these living out their days in a 70% off sale bin… obviously they are trying to make their monogram happen but who would buy this? You could get a speedy or a Boston bag… these look worse then what they line the shelves at Macy’s with. Yuck…
Actually, it’s not Phoebe standard, but coming from Hedi, they are not that bad! Although the chain on the second bag really cheapens the look.
Hedi seems to like this cognac colored leather. I don’t. :—-(
I don’t like the pattern. It’s truly the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen!
Totally. And why fabric? No way I’d buy a fabric bag at any price because it simply won’t last plus you can’t clean it. One drop of coffee and its gone.
These bags are truly hideous. I agree with Molly.
Agree with you both!
Hmm, these Louis Vuitton bags look weird! My point is, if I wanted bags like these I would just get an LV or a Gucci. Why on earth is Celine making the same bags as everyone else? I am so saddened at the direction of Celine. They went from being cutting edge clean and modern to being a copy of everyone else. So sad.
i get that they are searching for something that may have major profit margins *a monogram* that said…… they are so baad just ..bad I’m sorry not like this but i just can’t.
that is the classic print. like, it’s really old, they did not just design that just now.
people seem to forget that Celine existed before Phoebe… there is a history to that brand people
Yes, we know, but we (I guess that I speak for most of the latest decades Celine fans) were not intrerested in the brand before Phoebe.
She made Celine what we loved and what it was until today. I think it’s charming that Hedi brings out the brands heritage, I love that, but honestly, he’s designs are lacking.
He does not manage to use and revive the Celine heritage like, to give an example, Alessandro Michele has done at Gucci.
His*, sorry, English is not my main language.
Oh no, gross!
Oh no, nothing say Celine!
