What is CELINE?
CELINE is a historic brand founded in 1945.
Starting out as a children's shoe store, the company's high-quality leather shoes, made using the skills of Parisian leather craftsmen, gained popularity among the upper class.
After that, the company launched a series of adult items such as women's shoes, perfumes, and scarves, and bags appeared in 1966.
In 1987, it became part of the LVMH Group, which also includes Dior and Fendi, and became a global brand in both name and reality.
Who is Phoebe Philo, the man behind "Luggage"?

Phoebe Philo, who was a designer at Chloe, became creative director and executive director of Celine in 2008.
By adding a sense of luxury to the appeal of CELINE, it has further captivated fashionistas around the world.
Phoebe is the recipient of the British Designer of the Year award, which recognises outstanding contributions to the British fashion industry.
Many people think of CELINE as synonymous with luggage, but in fact this bag was designed by Phoebe.
Phoebe also designs other popular CELINE models such as Trapeze and Cabas.
Phoebe served as creative director of CELINE for 10 years from 2008 to 2018.
After Phoebe's departure, CELINE, run by Hedi Slimane, changed to a new logo and the old logo, "CÉLINE," disappeared from store shelves.
The old logo from the Phoebe era is called "OLD CELINE" and has become an item highly treasured by Phoebe fans.
What is the appeal of CELINE during the Phoebe era?

The keywords that symbolize the Phoebe period are "minimal," "masculine," and "timeless."
Phoebe's desire to value women's wardrobes rather than creating trends meant that her designs were often simple and sophisticated, which is probably why her line has remained beloved for so many years.
It's no wonder that the brand still has so many fans, as it matches the modern minimalist mindset that only high-quality, easy-to-use bags are enough.
From here, we will introduce some of the classic bags from the Phoebe period.

CELINE's iconic bag, the Luggage, became an explosive hit in 2010 and remains highly popular to this day.
This is a relatively new model of Celine bag, designed by Phoebe.
Although it has a square look, if you expand the gussets on both sides of the body it can take on a trapezoidal shape, allowing you to enjoy a variety of looks depending on how you use it.
The unique design, which looks like a face when viewed from the front, is adorable.
There is a wide range of sizes available, with four sizes available from smallest to largest: Nano Shopper, Micro Shopper, Mini Shopper, and Phantom.
The materials available are smooth calfskin, drummed calfskin, and also canvas, making this a versatile bag suitable for both formal and casual occasions.
Trapeze

The Trapeze was released in 2011, about a year after the Luggage was released.
Trapeze is a fashion term that refers to the flared hem of a women's dress or other garment.
As its name suggests, the Trapeze bag is a trapezoid with a distinctive gusset design that juts out on both sides.
Another great feature is that the gusset can be folded to transform it into a square shape, making it suitable for a variety of situations.
The carefully calculated balance between the flap and clasp creates a beautiful and formal impression.
The Trapeze comes in two sizes: medium and small.
The colors available are rich and varied, including one-color, two-color, and tricolor, and because of its simple form, you can enjoy completely different impressions depending on the color scheme.
Although it is no longer available, the Trapeze bag is such a classic that there are still fans who seek it out today.
Classic Box

The "Classic Box," a stylish design stripped of all unnecessary decoration, was released in 2011.
As the name suggests, it has a classic boxy design with a simple square face and a square clasp as an accent.
It has a 3-way design that allows you to wear it over your shoulder by adjusting the strap.
Available in two sizes: small classic and medium classic.
A classic material is box calf, which is known as a scratch-resistant leather.
Classic colors such as black and camel are extremely popular.
The longer you use it, the more character it develops, making it a recommended bag to accompany you through life.
Belt Bag

The Belt Bag emerged in 2014 as Celine's next iconic item.
The clean look and the straight lines of the innovative cut make an impression.
Despite its simple appearance, the bag is characterised by the strap zippers that protrude from both sides, a feature that is synonymous with Phoebe.
This elegant belt is a masterpiece that highlights the artisans' meticulous techniques in every detail.
The bag comes in two sizes: small belt bag and mini belt bag.
The color lineup includes one-tone models and combination types in basic colors, as well as limited edition models with serial numbers.
Trio Bag

The "Trio" shoulder bag has attracted attention for its innovative design, with three same-sized pouches attached with snap buttons.
The pouch can be attached and detached, so it can be used depending on the situation and the amount of items you are carrying, making it extremely versatile.
Made from high-quality calfskin and lambskin, it has a fine and soft texture that is appealing. It is also lightweight, so it doesn't feel like a burden on your shoulders even when you carry it for a long time.
The unadorned, minimalist design makes this bag one of the most representative of the Phoebe era.
Unfortunately, it is no longer in the product lineup and appears to be discontinued.
Cabas

Among Celine's bags, the Cabas is popular because of its large luggage capacity.
It has a sophisticated design that overturns the concept of tote bags, which tend to look casual.
Its ample storage space has earned it great support from working women and women raising children.
Another attractive feature is the wide range of colors and sizes available, making it suitable for any style.
The bag itself is extremely light and made from a flexible material, making it perfect for everyday use.

The straps hanging down from the wide gussets on both sides add an elegant accent.
The three separate compartments are versatile and offer ample storage space.
While pursuing functionality, the design is packed with feminine elements and is outstanding.

A Celine masterpiece that embodies the ultimate in simplicity.
