Felt? For the Fall Winter 2014 Collection? Why was it not published on Celine’s website? When we first got the news, we thought the Celine Felt Bags were from the Fall 2013 Collection, until Karen shared her story to us and how she bought the Celine felt Trapeze in Europe for a stunning price.

Listen:

‘So glad you think worth bragging about. I became worried with the recent piece on the fake eBay buy!! But I purchased this at a very reputable shop. Problem is, I am not savvy with Celine. Had been looking at LV Lock-it in black. A classic but too expensive! And on the same day, the Hermes Garden Bag, which they actually had in black!! But I felt it too ‘summery’ for England’s upcoming long winter. So for way less than half the price, I went with this Celine. I paid euro 1200.’

Next email:

‘Yes, online I too found only the grey felt bag. Mine is green felt with navy felt sides. Black leather flat and handles. Unable to find online. I purchased this bag NEW from a very reputable shop, Katie Jacobson, in Nice, France. Shop is located between Hermes and Louis Vuitton. The saleswoman – owner of the shop no less – told me it just arrived and is the new collection for 2014/15. The navy felt is same as Celine is showing on the Phantom (I believe that’s the one). I am taking the bag into the London Celine shop tomorrow, Monday, to sort it out! Will let you know what they say’

Next day:

‘Today, I went to the new Celine store on Mount St in London. So beautiful! As was everything in it! The green & blue felt trapeze bag I purchased in France is absolutely from the Winter 2014 Collection. The Manager recognized it right away. They already sold out of my combination. The green felt is also being used on the Luggage Handbag. My bag retails for UK £ 1250. In France, it retailed for 1300 euros. I purchased it for 1200 euros. A respectable savings of about US 350 between UK and EU’.

Celine not only secretly released the Trapeze Bag in Felt, but also in other styles like the luggage, Tie Tote and the Belt Bag. Felt is generally cheaper in price than other leathers. But because of this, we thought you might want to take a look, so we gathered some images. Here they are:

Celine Felt Trapeze Bag: €1300 euro’s or £1250 GBP
Celine Felt Belt Tote Bag: £1,230 GBP
Celine Felt Phantom Luggage Bag: $2,100.00 USD
Celine Tie Tote Felt Bag: $2,600 USD

(Karen, I hope everything went well and you’re doing okay =))
