"CELINE" 80’s macadam canvas shoulder bag

The shoulder and flap interior show signs of deterioration.

Starting from leather goods that accompany the daily life of women in Paris, CELINE has honed a sense of translating elegance into practicality, and here we introduce a piece that carefully preserves the spirit of the era.

This masterpiece, centered around the beloved archive symbol, the Macadam canvas, has been refined into a dignified presence.

On the beige-based canvas, a series of motifs quietly emerge, and the brown leather piping sharpens the outline, making the overall look elegant the moment you hold it.

Macadam is named after the crushed stone pavement and is completed as a continuous pattern reminiscent of the chain surrounding the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, with a design that appears calm from afar and deep from up close.

In the center of the flap, a structure is set to hook onto a circular fastener, offering simple operation while the hardware itself serves as a subtle accent—this is part of its charm.

The tone of brass, which is slightly matte and deep, differs from the current mirror-like shine, blending into the gentle luster typical of vintage, and subtly enhances the shadows of the leather and the three-dimensionality of the stitching.

The strap can be adjusted at the hole positions, making it easy to balance whether worn diagonally or over the shoulder, naturally expanding your styling options.

The thick stitching along the edges creates a visual rhythm and also reinforces areas prone to wear, making the design and durability coexist—this is a unique advantage of this piece.

The interior is designed to open widely for good visibility, equipped with a zipper pocket for detailed organization, and the subtle CELINE inscription on the leather tag leaves a lingering impression.

The more you use everyday items, the more the smoothness of opening and closing and the organization of storage become important, so these basic craftsmanship details really stand out.

Regarding the background, the inner tag's CELINE PARIS inscription is in a thick block style, there is no MADE IN ITALY marking on the surface, the hardware has a matte finish, and the combination of PVC-coated canvas with Nume leather reflects the classic balance of the time, making it highly credible as an item from the Old Céline period of the 1980s to early 1990s.

Recently, there has been renewed attention on Edouard Manet's Trionf Canvas, but the calm tones of beige and brown and the texture of the fabric clearly differ from current trends, offering a vintage feel that adds depth to your outfit now.

Styling-wise, pairing neat slacks and a simple knit to create a clean surface enhances the depth of the pattern, and layering leather accessories with different textures around shirts and light outerwear creates an urban space regardless of gender.

By not being overly ornate and relying on the quality of details to create elegance, this is where our strength lies.

Take this opportunity.
