Céline
Celine 2011 Heritage: Timeless Elegance by Phoebe Philo
Céline
Céline is the house people buy twice: once for the design, once for the restraint. Nothing shouts, everything is considered — which is why the Phoebe Philo years have become the most collected decade in modern French fashion.
Two Célines
The vintage Céline of the seventies and eighties: the Macadam canvas, the Sulky, the Blade, the horse-carriage hardware — an old Parisian house making practical, beautifully made bags. Then the Céline of 2008 to 2018, when Phoebe Philo gave it the Luggage, the Trapèze, the Box and the Belt bag, and made minimalism desirable again.
What we check
The leather above all: Céline uses drum-dyed calfskin that creases rather than cracks, and a Box that has been carried well is often better than one kept in a dustbag. We tell you exactly which one you are getting.
