Description
Model History:
The Triomphe motif, introduced by Celine in the 1970s, was inspired by the chain link surrounding the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, near the company’s historic headquarters. This motif quickly became a symbol of the brand’s visual identity. Under the artistic direction of Hedi Slimane, the vertical tote is part of a contemporary line of leather goods that pays homage to the house’s archives, while incorporating graphic elements and a more personal signature, as seen here with the handwritten embroidery.
Exterior Details:
Beige Triomphe-print coated canvas features a tough, fine-grained texture, ideal for everyday use. Contrasting stitching highlights the bag’s clean lines and reinforces its vertical structure. Stiff brown leather handles with visible stitching ensure comfortable carrying. The matching, slender, adjustable shoulder strap is fastened with discreet golden metal clips. The “Celine” embroidery with a small heart adds an atypical graphic touch to a very classic base.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with a soft-touch, easy-care suede-effect textile in camel. The main compartment, unlined with pockets, is deliberately minimalist, in the spirit of modern utility tote bags. It’s ideal for carrying a compact wallet, phone, glasses or other everyday items, while maintaining its shape.
Product Condition:
The bag is in excellent condition, with no visible wear marks on the canvas, corners or handles. Edges are clean, with no cracks or discoloration. The interior is clean, with no visible stains or rubbing. Seams and finishes are intact, showing little or no use.
Care instructions:
To preserve the printed fabric, simply wipe surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged contact with water or grease. Store the bag in its original dustbag away from direct light when not in use. Do not hang the bag by the shoulder strap, to avoid prolonged strain on the fasteners.
