For the past couple seasons Céline has strayed from its conceptual runway bag ways in order to show off something a little more shopper-friendly, but in fashion, one a pendulum swings in one direction, the only guarantee is that it’s sure to eventually swing back. For Fall 2017, Céline returned to conceptual form with a series of oversized, bare-bones bucket bags, but there were a few treats for the more traditionally minded as well.
I can’t guarantee it, of course, but it almost feels like Céline’s accessories designers sat down with their sketchpads and asked themselves, “What’s a bag, in its simplest functional form?” The answer to that potential question was collapsable-looking felt and leather buckets with wide webbed straps–no hardware, no adornment, just form. I found myself very interested in looking at and inspecting the thought that went into these pieces, but they’re likely a nonstarter for regular shoppers looking to stock regular wardrobes.
Luckily, there were also a couple runway bags that fit that need, especially among people who want to carry a lot–extra large totes (which, on Céline’s runway, included a revival of the Ring Bag) are becoming an inescapable trend, just like we thought they might. Check out all the runway bags below.

I gave myself shoulder and back problems carrying oversized totes that were stuffed to the gills. (True story. I’m not just being rhetorical.) So I’ll never go back. Even still, I sometimes miss the convenience of carrying my entire life with me everywhere I go. I do a bit of that by putting my overflow in my diaper bag, but I have no idea what I’ll do when I no longer carry one. Learn to leave the house with only those essential items I’ll actually need? That will be a tall order.
Interesting. Minimal.
I like 3 but the over size totes look very impractical.
This bags are better than Dior o Balenciaga, but there is low options, only three o four bags in diferent colors.
When you show us the Loewe FW2017 bags?? And the shows? In this season there is more kind of shoes than JW Anderson used to show in his outfits!!!!
The good thing is, we know some of these will get their mini versions soon. I hope so anyway, especially no. 3!
It’s kinda hilarious, but I deeply hate what Coca has done to Mulberry – and now I see that Celine has started to make bags that kinda remind me of classic Mulberry. 6&10 are just lovely, timeless and practical.
12-17 on the other hand look like something I could have knocked up from surplus materials I found in my Mom’s sewing room as a teenager. :’D
I agree. #3 looks like a winner, will check it out when in store
#3 and #10, are they the same bag? What am I missing?
