It’s been almost a year since we got a first look at Hedi Slimane’s debut bag for Celine. Slimane introduced his first design for the brand on the arm of longtime supporter Lady Gaga. Instantly, C(é)line fans knew that the brand’s aesthetic was about to experience a major makeover. Little by little, Celine released new collections under Slimane’s creative direction, and today we have a look at one of Celine’s newest collections. Introducing: the Celine by Hedi Slimane Tassels Collection.
The Tassels Collection is part of Celine’s Winter Part I collection and features some of the first bags to reflect the Bourgeois collection inspiration that was shown earlier this year in Paris. The Tassels collection features a few different versions and sizes. First up, the Belt Bag Tassels in Shiny Calfskin is Celine’s version of the ultra-trendy belt bag shape. Simple in its shape, tiny tassels and gold hardware add an equestrian feel to this mini bag. The belt bag, like the other shapes in this collection, is fairly structured and features a flap closure with a magnetic snap. It’s crafted in soft, but fairly scratch resistant, shiny calfskin. The simplicity of this bag allows the beautiful leather to take center stage, and it’s lined in lambskin leather as well.
This bag is tiny in size, though it’s exactly what you would expect in a belt bag. Anything too large looks bulky and doesn’t sit right. The inside of this bag features credit card slots, allowing its user to skip a card case or small wallet. A smart phone and some other small items could be carried inside as well, and overall dimensions are 7″ L x 5″ H x 1″ D. Purchase via Celine for $1,300.
For a more traditional style, Celine fans can opt for the Medium Tassels Bag. The overall style is identical to the Tassels Belt Bag, but the shoulder bag is a bit larger and features an adjustable strap. It can be worn both cross body and over the shoulder. I’m 5’9 and was able to wear this cross body, so it would work for most shapes and sizes, despite that it’s supposed to be a shoulder bag. While we received this bag in black and tan, it’s currently available in other novelty versions as well. Though this bag is fairly structured and doesn’t have much give, the leather is soft and not stiff at all. It will likely age very well, which adds to the classic and almost vintage feel to the bag. The Medium Tassels Bag is also lined in lambskin and features an interior zippered pocket. Overall dimensions are 7″ L x 6″ H x 2″ D, and it retails for $1,800.

It’s a very nice bag. But just nice.
Love the clean lines of medium bag! Nice bag.
Very minimalist bag…clean lines, subtle branding. Nice bag.
Looks like something I can pick up at H&M.
Totally agreed with you.
I am so surprise that see a lot “nice bag” feedback below.
Too sad that Celine launch something so low-priced looking.
Yup! Looks exactly like something H&M has.

It’s nice but boring. Also “Celine by Hedi Slimane Tassels Collection” what a mouthful!
Doesn’t look like it works as a crossbody bag. Straps are too short.
Cute, but not $1800 cute.
Why he has to put his name after the brands he works for like that?
I’m so turn off!!!
that is actually quite common nowadays. since the actual designers are usually dead and the appointment of a new star designer is a selling point. its not like his name is on the bags or clothes. but it is celine by means of hedi slimane after all.
Oh really? I maybe wrong,
I don’t see a Givenchy by Clare Waight Keller or Louis Vuitton by Nicolas Ghesquière or Burberry by Ricardo Tisci.
“Tassels Collection”? Two tiny dingles, barely noticeable. Looks cheap. Maybe it’s better in person but based on the photos I have no desire to check it out.
There is nothing unique about this bag. It’s been done before, but their price point is much higher.
Nice bag: simple and discreet branding. The leather looks yummy.
Yawn
…exactly
Phoebe, Phoebe, wherefore art thou Phoebe!
I like the minimalism of the medium-sized bag, and the tan leather looks silky smooth, like Swift leather does. Belt bags?? They’re already showing up in consignment sites. Save your money and just say “Non!”
I saw these in person yesterday at the Céline section in NM and I thought someone had misplaced a Gucci bag lol
What in the? It looks like a Target bag! Silmane is a talent vacuum. This is beyond embarrassing for a major fashion house like Celine. Reinstate the accent! Idiots
I can’t even.
Lovely photos, Kaitlin, but wow that bag is so cheap looking.
Looks like somebody’s “package” coming outta there.
Looks cheap. Looks like something you can buy at H&M,or Zara at most.
Bring back Phoebe! Celine is declining very fast with Hedi as creative director. I wouldn’t send a penny on any of Hedi’s collection so far.
Ugh! Why has everyone beat me to the H&M comparison comment! That’s instantly what came to my mind. Nothing about this bag reminds me of Celine. Although I do have to say, it’s very hard to go very minimalist without looking cheap.
As much as I love Hedi Slimane, pass…
Hahaha!! Bye Celine.
Oh, lordy. This looks…just no. No.
the lines been discontinued after such a short release? does anyone know why??
