The "Triomphe" is a historically inspired bag that pays homage to CELINE founder Céline Vipiana . The small bag shape with decorative buckles is the most minimalist bag of the new season . "Triomphe" means "triumph" in French , and the name comes from the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The bag shape is a replica of the classic style of the 1970s , and the buckle design element is the "Blason logo" created by Céline Vipiana . From the name to the design details, it is a re-exploration of the brand's history.

· Blason Lock ·

Celine Vipiana, founder of CELINE

The Blason logo was created in 1972 and originated from an unexpected experience of the brand's founder, Ms. Céline Vipiana. She ran out of gas while driving to the Arc de Triomphe. While waiting for help, she noticed the chain details on the Place Charles de Gaulle , which inspired her to design the Blason pattern with two "C"s symmetrically connected .

For all those who are familiar with and love CELINE, seeing Triomphe will naturally remind them of the previous generation classic Classic Box - indeed, the sizes of these two bags are quite similar, and the materials and structures are also very close. In a sense, Triomphe is the "upgraded" version of Classic Box designed by Hedi.

In terms of bag shape, the Triomphe is more slender and delicate , close to the girlish style; while the Classic Box is square and solid and cute.

Both are made of calfskin , but the Triomphe highlights the smooth texture; the Classic Box prefers a low-key matte finish . The polished and shiny Blason pattern of the Triomphe is like a declaration of pursuit of fashion and classicism . This logo itself contains details and designs that make people gaze, like a small relief decoration beside you.

Open the flap and you can see the gold-plated CELINE logo, which echoes the metal details.

· Three-layer space

Since it is an upgraded version of the box bag , Triomphe naturally has to make new breakthroughs in practicality - a large compartment in the middle and an independent pocket on each side , one more than the Classic Box. From the side of the bag, you can see that even if it is full of stuff, the outline is still well maintained. The lining is made of lambskin , which is very soft , and there is a gold-plated TRIOMPHE logo on the inside.

We stuffed an iPhone, AirPods, wallet, foundation, tissues, and a small notebook in the bag and still had enough small space to explore.

· Flexible backing method·

Triomphe is equipped with an adjustable shoulder strap , which can be carried on the shoulder or crossbody, so girls of different heights can find the right proportion. It should be noted that the strap of Triomphe cannot be removed . The advantage is that the buckle details are more simple and elegant , but it also reduces the possibility of turning into a handbag.
