–SPECIAL– "CELINE" 70’s-80’s suede top handle ring closure handbag

Inner bag has some dirt.

From CELINE, which has spoken of the everyday elegance worn by Parisian bourgeoisie through form and material rather than excessive decoration, we introduce a special piece that embodies a strong original aesthetic.

This superb piece transforms noir suede into a neat box shape, with the handle and trimming layered with smooth leather resembling box calf, creating a beautiful contrast in texture.

The front clasp features a square gold plate combined with a movable ring, designed not to loudly assert the logo but to catch the eye with geometric strength, elevating the sophistication of the outfit while maintaining a quiet presence. Each time the ring moves, the metal gleam appears briefly, contrasting sharply with the suede's absorbent black, making it truly a source of quiet luxury.

Furthermore, the zipper is adorned with a metal charm reminiscent of the blazon or the Arc de Triomphe chain, subtly hinting at the brand's history against the restrained exterior, which is an excellent balance. Four bottom studs are installed to prevent the corners from collapsing when placed, thoughtfully considering practical use as a vintage item.

The interior features a vivid red full leather lining, and the contrast created when opening it, as if switching the air, is a luxury unique to this era. The inner brand tag is a red leather patch with black print featuring CELINE and PARIS, and the fact that "MADE IN ITALY" is not prominently listed as it is in current products also preserves the sense of the period.

The era is naturally around 1975 to 1985, and its credibility lies in multiple physical evidence that align without contradiction. First, the zipper pull with the blazon motif is a design that can only be established after 1973, ruling out earlier decades. Additionally, the semi-circular red leather tag with black print and the absence of a "MADE IN ITALY" label on the front are inconsistent with the tag and label unification seen after the late 1980s, making it most reasonable to date it from the late 1970s to the early 1980s.

What makes this superb item stand out as a special collection is that, while making the difficult choice of material with suede as the main feature, it maintains the form based on the premise of preserving the depth of black. Moreover, the high-end etiquette of speaking luxury inside while restraining outside remains intact. The full leather lining, which is difficult to reproduce in modern bags due to advances in lightweighting and rationalization, increases in value with each touch, conveying density through the feel in your hand.

Especially recommended for those who want to subtly show their sophistication in daily life and make a difference with quality that only those close to you can notice, this piece naturally enhances your posture with a one-handle carry.

In terms of styling, pairing a tailored jacket with slacks creates a neat look that harmonizes beautifully with the architectural mood of the ring hardware. When matched with a long dress or a minimal setup, the box-shaped silhouette of the bag sharpens the overall appearance. Additionally, it pairs well with classic outerwear like high-quality coats or trench coats, making it less likely to look outdated, and it serves as a superb piece that smoothly connects quiet mode and classic style.

Take this opportunity.
