Céline Keeps Things (Mostly) Weird for Its Spring 2016 Runway Bags

Unless you’re brand new to Céline, you’re well aware that the brand tends to show far more unusual and conceptual bags on its runways than the majority of what actually ends up getting stocked in stores. Instead of Luggage Totes and Trapeze Bags, Céline’s Spring 2016 runway show was full of voluminous, pillowy leather satchels and hard-edged little hand totes with snap-on front compartments.

There was one gorgeous lavender crocodile Classic Box Bag, as though to remind consumers that the brand also makes bags that many of them enjoy buying. Personally, I would love to get my hands on one of the puffy, soft satchels, but only in the most literal sense; they look like they’re made of the softest lambskin in the world, and I’d like to touch them.

Deflated slightly, I could see those bags having a certain amount of consumer appeal, but for the real handbag fireworks, we’ll have to wait until Céline’s Spring 2016 lookbook appears online. (As soon as it does, we’ll bring you all the photos.)

I really like the bag in slide 15. The good thing about the puffy bags is that they can double as pillows.

Perfect for flying!

This is something really interesting that is worth paying your attention right now,a superb online opportunity to work for those people who want to use their free time so that they can make some extra money using their computers… I have been working on this for last two and half years and I am earning 60-90 dollar/ hour … In the past week I have earned 13,70 dollars for almost 20 hours sitting ….

Specific qualification, degree or skills is not necessary for this, just keyboard typing and a good working and reliable internet connection ….

Any Time limitations or boundations to start work is not required … You may do this work at any time when you willing to do it ….

How I have been doing this?…..….see this (site-Iink) on my !profile!` to know how I am working` on this`

No.

Elisa

Ha! Cute. Agreed, we don’t sleep on our bags.

Vicky

The first one and #12 look good. I can use it as my travel bag and double it as a pillow. 🙂

Those pillow bags look like the rejects from the Coco Cocoon collection of Chanel.

Where is Loewe at? One of the most important bag brands hasn’t been recognized.

Sparky

Loewe was really strong a few years ago. Past 2 years I don’t like the direction. Very few styles and what they have isn’t interesting. I hope they step up their game because I really want to start shopping their line. Great understated brand.

Slide 23 – my money’s in the mail

Megs Mahoney Dusil

RIGHT?!

Joline

the atrocity.

carefulincole

Like the #20 black bucket

Finem Lauda

All I see are those inflatable bath neck pillows.

Jess

Slide 15 is a fave. That colour. Need more of that in my wardrobe.

Bianca Mosca

The “puffy” bags are like salpas the pre sample bags made up to assess the appearance and functionality of a bag before manufacturing the final item. Very weird.

Tammie Reed

not a fan of the puffy bags at all but some of them are really cute

Quite frankly, I never got into the whole Céline thing. We seem to forget that Kors was a predecessor to Philo many years back.

From logo overkill, to “too cool for school” minimal chic, the brand has completed a 180-degree turnaround.

Alessandro Michele at Gucci is the star of the season, and his depth of passion for research and a solid feel for his “story” positions Gucci at the top of the Tree for this season.

Dior and Loewe are the two leaders in the LVMH stable, alongside FENDI, when it comes to creating lust-worthy accessories. I still drool over the Miss Dior.

Recently I purchased the Marmont wallet on a chain / Clutch, as well as the Dionysus shoulder bag by Gucci. I am utterly obsessed. Next, the Webby in Chocolate Brown leather – the second it hits Australia!

Jess

I would not carry any of these.

kate

nope

To me Celine is now the most innovative bag designer on the market. They go straight ahead they do not look at what the others do. Like or not I love it, this is to me what every designer should do (and stop copying each others :).

Elisa

I love slide 23 and even like the shape shape of some of the other structured pocketbooks/purses but I’m not a fan of studs or motorcycle themed leathers. The down comforter purses are just not practical. I love innovative form as long as function is considered equally. Who needs all of that bulk? I agree, the puffy bag could be a pillow, and if I bought one, I’d lose my home and be forced to sleep on the street and thus use it as my sidewalk pillow. 🙂

JaneH

So eclectic I love it.

Sparkletastic

What. Is. That. Puffy. Crap????

Megs Mahoney Dusil

Can’t say I want one of the puffy bags myself… But def as a travel bag! Ha

Dwightinha

The lilac coco bag in slide 23 is just beautiful.
