Pre-owned Celine bags: Parisian elegance as heritage
Founded in Paris in 1945 by Céline Vipiana, the House of Celine has built a singular identity within French luxury: chic minimalism, exceptional leathers and an emblem that became legendary — the Triomphe, designed in 1971 after the chain surrounding the Arc de Triomphe. From ready-to-wear to leather goods, Celine embodies understated Parisian elegance.
From the cult minimalism of the Phoebe Philo era to the rock reinterpretation of the Hedi Slimane years, each creative period has left behind bags that are highly sought-after second-hand. At Old Fashioned Club, every Celine bag in our selection is authenticated by our experts before reaching the boutique.
The Triomphe Bag: the Arc de Triomphe emblem
Launched in 2018, the Triomphe bag revives the historic clasp designed by Céline Vipiana in 1971. Its structured flap silhouette, smooth calfskin and gold-tone clasp make it an instant classic among great shoulder bags. In our selection you will find the Classique Triomphe, the compact Triomphe Teen and rarer variations such as the denim Triomphe.
The Celine Cabas: everyday minimalism
The Celine Cabas is the purest expression of the House's style: clean lines, supple leather, zero superfluous logos. Designed for daily life, it ranges from the vertical cabas to large vintage XXL formats. It is the bag of choice for women who value leather quality and perfect proportions over display.
The Phantom Bag: a Phoebe Philo era icon
With its architectural silhouette and flared wings, the Phantom is one of the most striking bags of the Phoebe Philo era (2008-2018), a period that has become cult among collectors. A characterful piece that is increasingly hard to find — second-hand is now the only way to own one.
Vintage Celine: Macadam canvas, monogram and luggage
Vintage Celine from the 70s to the 90s is an underrated treasure: Macadam canvas with its discreet monogram, monogram canvas bucket bags, golden leather pouches and satchels… Depending on arrivals, our selection also features exceptional luggage — monogram hard-shell trunks and suitcases — as well as silk scarves and Triomphe belts.
The House of Celine: from 1945 to today
First a children's shoe house founded by Céline Vipiana, Celine grew over the decades into a benchmark of Parisian ready-to-wear and luxury leather goods. The Phoebe Philo era imposed a radical minimalism that influenced an entire generation; the Hedi Slimane era revived the House's heritage and turned the Triomphe into a global best-seller. So many chapters that make second-hand Celine bags heritage pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you authenticate a pre-owned Celine bag like the Triomphe, Cabas or Phantom?
A genuine Celine bag reveals itself in the details: even stitching, supple leather, the precise finish of the Triomphe clasp and a dated heat stamp inside. Every bag at Old Fashioned Club is inspected by our in-house experts and comes with a certificate of authenticity, so you skip the guesswork and buy with full confidence.
Where can I buy a second-hand Celine bag in Paris?
You can buy authenticated pre-owned Celine bags at the Old Fashioned Club showroom, located at 4 & 6 rue des Saussaies, 75008 Paris. A luxury resale boutique founded in 2017, we offer Triomphe, Cabas and Phantom styles, each expert-verified, certified authentic and shipped to you with complimentary delivery.
Do pre-owned Celine bags hold their value?
Yes. Celine bags are among the most sought-after pieces on the resale market. Iconic designs from the Phoebe Philo years, who led the house from 2008 to 2017, such as the Phantom and the Cabas, hold their value especially well thanks to their rarity and timeless design, provided they remain in good condition.
What is the story behind the Celine Triomphe bag?
The Triomphe clasp draws on the chain links encircling the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, a motif Céline Vipiana adopted as the house monogram in the early 1970s. The modern Triomphe bag, introduced in 2018, reinterprets that emblem as a golden metal clasp, now one of the most instantly recognisable signatures in luxury.
What is the difference between a Celine Phantom and a Celine Cabas?
Both the Phantom and the Cabas are leather totes designed under Phoebe Philo. The Cabas favours clean, soft, minimalist lines for everyday use. The Phantom, its structured counterpart, stands out with a wider base and flared side wings. Today both are bought mainly second-hand, as these original designs are no longer produced in their initial form.
What affects the price of a pre-owned Celine bag?
The price of a second-hand Celine bag depends on the model, overall condition, age, rarity and material. Pieces from the Phoebe Philo era, now highly collectible, tend to command more. At Old Fashioned Club, our sustainable-fashion approach is built on a fair price, set after each bag has been expertly appraised.
