Just when the Celine 16 Bag was announced, which we’re expecting to become the house’s next icon, another new handbag was introduced on Celine’s instagram. It’s called the Celine C Bag, named after the new C closure.

The newly C closure is inspired by a Celine closure from the 1970s. The idea is quite simple as the C is engraved on the center. But this high fashion brand is about minimalism and we have become used to that.

Then we noticed the most unusual detail; the C Bag is crafted in Quilted Tablet Pattern. This Quilting is a signature feature from the vintage bags of the 1980’s. Does Celine match with Quilting?

The chain is a redesign of the chain links that encircle the Arc De Triomphe. The Arc De Triomphe is the most famous moments in Paris, standing at the end of Champs-Élysées.

When Celine announced this handbag on Instagram; the reactions were not positive. Some of those comments were: ‘like a Chanel knock-off’ or ‘it just doesn’t look like Celine to me’.

So what do you think about this bag?
