Buying a New CELINE Box Bag in 2022

By An Trieu February 17, 2022

CELINE BOX BAG MEDIUM

- 9 x 7 x 3 in (24 x 18 x 7 cm) - Calfskin, lambskin lining, gold metal finishing. - Made in Italy.

TAP NEXT FOR REASONS WHY I BUY IT NEW IN 2022

1. MINIMAL CLASSIC DESIGN

It's made from smooth leather, and the box design is classic. Clean lines. It's got some weight, but not too heavy. Very spacious with no visible logos.

- 18 in (45 cm) drop. - Hand carry, shoulder carry, and cross-body carry. - Clean single strap with gold metal clasp fastening, and the extra strap end is hidden.

2. removable and adjustable strap

3. SUBTLE CELINE LOGOS

No visible branding or logo on the exterior of the bag. Celine logos are embossed on the metal clasp and on the leather, only seen when you open the bag.

4. POSITIVE buying experience

I tried the bag on at CELINE Saks Fifth Avenue, stopped in CELINE Boutique in Soho for questions, and bought it at CELINE Boutique on Madison Ave, NYC. 

5. it's me in a bag!

I shop slow and only want to only invest in pieces from brands I love with classic design and materials that LAST. Leather ages well, and this bag holds good resell value. 

6. first big designer bag purchase. it has meaning!

I'm at a point in my life where I'm ready to make investment purchases like this. I know my style, and I'm confident with the choice I make. 

why not buy used?

Used bags are available on many second-hand sites, but they're not very much cheaper. I wanted to have the first buy in-Boutique experience and wanted to start NEW.

LASTLY

I don't follow trends and would rather invest in quality and classic styles. CELINE Box Bag truly stands the test of time because of its beautiful design and quality leather craftsmanship.
