Celine Handbags - Clandestine et al

why would we want the suitcase?
why would we want the suitcase?!
..........
if i lived in NYC...


his answer sounds like special order is available..(thx for asking positano! ) but even for a size that wasn't produced?
hm.. i'm thinking of a collaborative TFS effort to call them to express interest in the suitcase size perhaps?

[mrssparkles]

It seems that the Celine buyer in Singapore did not choose the powder colour!!!!! Only white and creme!

[ilovepositano]

seriously- we should just submit a special order and see if they accept!! would you prefer still the blush or cream in the shrunken calf? sounds like they're unwilling to do the lambskin in that size...

[Pinky*]

do they do blush in shrunken calf? i'll definately still take blush.. if not i'd settle for cream calf in the suitcase size as well.

i'm in! anyone else?

if we get like 6 orders of lambskin, perhaps they might relent? if not.. still good!

[ilovepositano]

hey went to celine today, and came back w/ faintest glimmer of hope that they MIGHT do special order of blush suitcase for us. (she's going to talk to n. am. buyer)...they're pretty clueless, tho. kept pushing the dorine...

Thanks for the good news ilovepositano. This is probably the most wanted bag of the season for me for some reason I love it more than the fendi bbag. Is the special order only for the shunken calfskin?

Btw pinky - How long did you have to wait for NAP's reply? I have sent Lucie an email but haven't received any reply from her yet usually I would receive the reply the next day.

*fingers still crossed*

this is my ultimate bag right now as well..

klow - i waited i think around 4-5 days or so for a reply!

[klow-chloe']

thanks - pinky.

I have decided that I will to definately getting this bag first on my list (it's taken over the fendi bbag and other bags) . I hope they accept the special order in large size, lambkin in powder(blush). If not I will get the long from NAP, hope it's lambskin though. Fingers crossed.

All right I have been down to Celine Singapore and this is what I have:

Seems like they do refer to the Clandestine long shoulder tote as the "large" in their lookbook.
According to their lookbook, the shoulder tote is only available in cream and luggauge (a caramel colour). But I couldn't find any sign of the long shoulder tote in powder, and the SA that I spoke to was helpful, unfortunately she didn't know if it would eventually be availabe in powder.

I also looked at the runway lookbook and told her that I wanted the exact bag in this picture below:


(from style.com)

Guess what they have details on the outfit, but nothing on the bag!

Anyway I just left my name with them and they would contact me once they get their Clandestine stock in.
I am also pinning my hopes on NAP.....

OT: Someone else already left their name with the Singapore store requesting the exact shoulder tote, mrssparkles-is that you?

[ilovepositano]

i asked for blush lambskin in suitcase size. i figured we might as well reach for the stars as long as we're special ordering! if they say no, would you girls rather try for special order of:

1. cream shrunken calf suitcase (currently not making this style period)
OR
2. blush shrunken calf long shoulder bag. (currently not making this style in this color)

think it makes no sense at all to turn down our sp. order. i mean, i saw their order book and the qties are so small (3 long shoulder cream clandies going to ny celine boutique, 2 going to BH, that's it for N. Am.!) our 6 blush lambskins is more than they would have ordered for the entire N.A. anyway...

[PrincessImp.]

^ I would choose for style no.2.
But I admit that I'm biased as that's the style that I am gunning for anyway

I can't believe how little information the people at Celine have for the Clandestine...5 clandies for N.America?!!! That's a really small amount!!!

Yes! The SA was getting so confused I had to refer her to the runway photos and I literally spelled out J-E-S-S-I-C-A S-T-A-M to say I want the exact bag she was modelling on the runway show.

She seemed pretty certain it ain't coming in in powder aka blush colour, but she said she would telephone the purchasing manager now in Europe and put in a request for information about the powder aka blush long shoulder bag.

I have never been more confused IN MY LIFE. What is the one you all first thought was the large called (not the long one)? Is it called the suitcase? Is blush the pinky flesh color? What are they making and not making? I've read this thread three times, and I still can't figure it out. If someone is feeling very generous, could you post all pics with names, measurements and colors.

I'm with you, boymom! I'm also pretty confused. Does the medium come in the soft leather? Are the measurements for the large correct, they seem so small? I was expecting the large to be huge but it doesn't seem to be. They aren't doing the large in the soft leather, correct?

If they are I think I may replace the dior goucho withthis bag. The dior is more my style, but I seem to like this bag better.
