Are there certain bags in your collection that you specifically remember the thrill of the chase? I do, and this was one of them for me. We were living in NYC at the time and the Céline Luggage Tote was all the rage. The minute I saw it in Cobalt Blue, I knew I needed it: this was MY COLOR. Slight problem; finding one was near impossible. This was pre-kids when I had much more free time and less worries, so I started going to different stores and inquiring and then I went to Barneys NY (RIP) and put my name on the list there. The sales associate said “I think you might get lucky”. And he was right.
A few days later he called me back and I hopped in a cab to get uptown to see my beauty. I remember other people shopping in the store that saw my bag being brought out and gasping at it as well! She was a stunner, and she was mine. If you ask me, I’ll tell you this was the best color ever produced by Céline for its luggage totes. The leather is really thick but also soft, which makes it prone to scratching. Aside from that, this bag is pristine.
Over time, the Céline Luggage Tote became so big that I found it played out and I retired my Luggage Totes into my closet, rarely carrying them again. However, when Phoebe Philo left the brand, #oldceline became coveted and new again, so I am thrilled I never parted with this beauty.
Which Luggage Totes do you have, I know so many of you have them?! I saw a few pre-loved Cobalt Blue Luggage Totes for sale when I searched through resale sites, but they were sites I was not as familiar with, so I didn’t want to send you that way. Fashionphile has a great assortment of Luggage Totes that I recommend you check out.
I really enjoyed your post on Instagram and can’t wait to see more reviews! Have a great weekend and stay safe!!!
I really enjoyed your video review on this bag. I can’t wait to see more reviews! Have a great weekend and stay safe!
What surprises me the most about this bag is how rough it looks after being used.
I have, however, always liked Celine’s colors and color combinations on their tri-color bags.
Love this bag – especially the color! Tried it on while I was in Paris and it was gorgeous.
This is a HUGE longshot, but in the case that you see this: I have been searching the internet high and low for a Dior Charms Pochette bag. I saw you made a post about a beautiful white one many years ago – any chance you are still wanting to sell it? If not, do you know where I could find one? I’ve looked at just about every resale website 🙁 hope you’re doing well!
I have this exact one and just worse it yesterday! Love it
