Description
Model History:
The Triomphe motif, introduced in the 1970s by Céline Vipiana, draws its inspiration from the chain motif surrounding the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. It became one of Céline’s iconic graphic symbols. This bag illustrates a period when the brand, while maintaining a tradition of craftsmanship, explored more casual materials such as denim, while retaining a sophisticated identity. Today, Triomphe jacquard canvas models are highly sought-after for their distinct vintage aesthetic.
Exterior Details:
The thick blue denim is fully adorned with the Triomphe motif woven in beige, forming a structured play of repetition. The smooth brown leather trim follows the contours of the bag, emphasizing its curved shape. The central strap is attached to an aged brass pin buckle, engraved with the “CELINE” logo. The rigid leather shoulder strap is tone-on-tone stitched, ensuring a stable shoulder carry. The bag measures approximately 28 cm wide, 18 cm high and 6 cm deep.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with matching denim canvas, finished in brown leather. It features a spacious main compartment and a side zipped pocket. A leather label embossed with “CELINE Paris” is attached by metal rivets. The magnetic snap closure under the flap ensures discreet security without disturbing the bag’s line. The internal seams are clean and reinforced.
Product Condition:
The bag is in very good vintage condition. The denim is clean, with no major stains or tears. The brass buckle shows micro-scratches and light oxidation. The interior is clean and the zippers work perfectly.
Care instructions:
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and prolonged humidity to preserve the shine of the denim and the patina of the leather. Clean canvas with a soft brush or slightly damp cloth. Apply a nourishing treatment suitable for brown leather once or twice a year. Store the bag in a fabric pouch lined with tissue paper to preserve its shape.
