CÉLINE by Phoebe Philo/ “Trapeze” 2010's Sculptural 2Way Hand Bag Green

As a luxury Maison representative of France, CÉLINE has pursued an impeccable aesthetic sensibility and modern functionality. We are pleased to introduce an exceptional piece with iconic form.

Seen as Trapeze, one of the models symbolizing the tenure of Phoebe Philo, this piece features side gussets that flare out like wings and a straight front, creating a sculptural presence.

The exterior uses finely textured leather. With a deep dark green as the base, the lower portion of the body and the center of the back are switched to black, providing clear contrast within a calm color palette. A gold-toned square clasp stands out as a refined accent.

While the front flap is designed large and the top handle follows gentle curves, the gussets on both left and right have a structure that spreads sharply. Because the distinctive trapezoidal form becomes especially prominent when you put items in the bag—and because you can adjust the impression of the silhouette by snapping the side—there is a design philosophy characteristic of the Maison that unifies design and practicality.

Equipped with a detachable shoulder strap, it is a 2-way style that works both as a neatly carried look with the top handle and as a shoulder-carry option. The back features a zip pocket as well, so while the form itself has undeniable presence, the bag also offers functionality that naturally fits everyday movement.

Based on the old CÉLINE logo on the front hardware, which includes an acute accent, and the exposed back zip仕様 seen on pieces from after the fall/winter 2012 season, this is considered a model from the 2010s. The design that gives strong contours to a minimalist composition reflects Phoebe Philo’s modern sensibility unmistakably.

Keeping the refinement of a classic handbag, this model’s unique value lies in how the gussets that extend left and right add an architectural rhythm to the overall styling. It is especially recommended for those who want to add a touch of luxurious tension to everyday wear, or for those who want to express individuality through form and color rather than relying on the brand logo’s presence.

For styling, it pairs beautifully not only with impeccable items such as wool coats and tailored jackets, but also with denim and wide trousers with a fluid drape—enhancing the depth of dark green and black while adding a sophisticated accent to everyday life.

An exceptional piece that lets you incorporate the Maison’s aesthetic sensibility and practicality into your modern wardrobe for the long term. Please take this opportunity.
