Save and Splurge: The Trapeze Bag Edition

November 25, 2012 Paris B 20 Comments

I poked fun once at the Celine IT bag with the robot face that had a few of us giggling over it. I still don’t feel it, apologies to all fans out there. But at about the same time, I came across a similar sort of design by Celine, except with much smoother, sleeker lines. The Celine Trapeze bag. I liked the simplicity of the design, the understatedness of it all. I didn’t feel the flappy ear action (which can be tucked in) so I didn’t bother to properly check it out. And then, I recently stumbled on a version that looks similar but isn’t.

When I first saw the DvF version at the bottom, I immediately thought of the Celine Trapeze. Personally I thought it looks really similar, especially when you see it on its own, not right next to a Celine of course. Naturally, there is a price difference, hence this edition of the Save & Splurge series 😀

Latest IT Bag The Celine Luggage Tote : Fad or Fab?

June 10, 2012 Paris B 81 Comments

I don’t pay a lot of attention to Celine bags, but I happen to have a soft spot for the Boogie bag. Sure, its open at the top, its only hand held and its by all notions a bit of a bother to juggle sometimes. But I love it, and want one in a lovely supple calf leather in a bright colour. Unfortunately, I don’t see it on the website anymore. I hope it isn’t discontinued 😛

The Celine Boogie bag is quite a classic, I’d say. There is nothing bright or garish about it and the lines are clean and simple and the design is straight forward. I walk around in Petaling St. and I don’t see a lot of fakes, if any. A sure sign the bag isn’t all that popular locally (the open top does make people balk) which makes me covet it more. I’d put it as a classic 🙂

But the latest IT bag to come out of the Celine stable is the Luggage Tote. I was pointed in the direction of this by my bag fiend partner in crime (“BFPiC”) some time last year. Then, I said to her quite honestly, “Meh. I don’t like how it looks” Well, that was before said BFPiC said she wanted it. Oops! 😛

I put it out of my mind for the past 6 months but recently, I’ve seen the Celine Luggage Tote grab the world by storm. I see it in magazines, in blogs, on celebrities… everywhere! Everyone who is anyone is touting it as the next Birkin, as a classic, as a “must-have”, and everyone’s swooning over it.

Did it make me want it then?
