Celine Luggage Bag - S/S 2010

Phoebe Philo (of Chloé design fame) has taken the reigns for her debut collection with the beloved French house Celine, creating a ready-to-wear collection that boasts synonymous elements of candor and cleanliness with classic European elegance. This bag in particular embodies the culmination of unfussied qualities, showcasing minimal hardware, and instead choosing to emphasize silhouette, texture, and refined luxury. Buttery soft leather and suede, precisely set stitching, and raised pieces help to foster interesting composition. The elimination of unnecessary design clutter, abandoned in favour of stark undertones and astute detailing; a new expression of contemporary minimalism.

The perfect embodiment of my singular summer resolution; what a pity that at $2,500 US, this Luggage will never be mine.

si tragique. second-hand lust will have to satisfy.
