Celine

Celine may have started in 1960, but 1971 serves as a core moment for the Maison, when founder Céline Vipiana – stranded in her broken down car in Paris’ Place de l’Étoile – found inspiration in the chain links that encircle the Arc de Triomphe. Fast forward to Hedi Slimane’s appointment as creative director in 2018 and the symbol’s significance lives on: he refreshed the historical emblem with a modernist approach, designing the Celine Triomphe bag on his very first day. Today, the Triomphe monogram continues to reign supreme on Celine bags (shoulder bags and cross-body styles alike), wallets and Celine sunglasses, while Celine tops, blouses, jackets and boots echo the same use of high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship that ensures each piece from La Collection de l’Arc de Triomphe is not just an addition to your edit – it’s an investment you’ll cherish for years to come.
