"CÉLINE" 70's-80's Sulky logo embroidered long sleeve shirt

"CÉLINE"
70's-80's Sulky logo embroidered cotton shirt

Founded in Paris in 1945, CÉLINE has embedded elegance into everyday essentials. Here, we present an exceptional piece featuring an iconic design.

With the carriage sulky motif that symbolizes the Maison embroidered at the chest in matching tones, this piece maintains a discreet presence while conveying unmistakable character.

The material is identified as 100% cotton from the care label, and the deep navy shirt fabric features a soft, refined texture within its understated color. The contrast with the white-tone buttons lends a tasteful finish, preserving a vintage atmosphere while naturally fitting into a modern wardrobe.

A large, sharply pointed pointed collar is placed at the neckline, creating a classic silhouette around the face. Meanwhile, the flap pockets on both chests incorporate elements drawn from military and workwear in a quiet way, allowing you to wear it with a depth of balance that differs from a dress shirt.

The body is designed with a slightly straight cut, and the shoulder line sits naturally while the sleeves offer a comfortably proportioned length. As a result, even when worn on its own, it creates an elegant impression with room to spare. You can also enjoy a nuance reminiscent of a lightweight shirt jacket by leaving the buttons open and wearing it as a layer.

As for the era, in addition to the fact that the cream-colored woven neck tag bears the sulky logo and the text CÉLINE and MADE IN ITALY, the absence of old-style washing instructions from the care label, a QR code, a URL, contemporary long-form care text, and a Japanese distributor notation suggests this item belongs to the vintage CÉLINE period, roughly from the 1970s to the 1980s.

The embroidery at the chest is composed in a subdued, tonal scheme, which is its appeal: it conveys quality through the feel of the material and its overall presence, without pushing the brand icon too prominently to the forefront. It is especially recommended for those who wish to incorporate vintage luxury into everyday attire in a subtle manner.

For styling, of course, pairing with wool slacks and leather shoes for a classic look works beautifully. Alternatively, combining it with faded denim or wide-leg trousers allows you to dress down the refined elegance characteristic of old CÉLINE in a comfortably casual way.

Including the tag’s expression, the collar shape, and even the quiet presence of the sulky logo—none of which are found on current pieces—this can be said to be a piece whose value as a vintage item can be truly felt. Please take this opportunity.
