Celine Cruise 2026 Paris

I can’t stand that zipper, and I honestly hope this whole “revival” of that bag flops. It feels lazy from both him and LVMH and that’s coming from someone who was actually pretty positive about his debut.

I never bought into the whole “this bag is outdated” narrative people love to push online, but let’s be real, the consensus not long ago was that carrying a Phantom tote in 2024/25 was passé. It was a relic of its era. Now Celine re-releases it, throws big money at marketing, and suddenly the same fashion crowd is “excited” and claiming “it’s time.” It’s manufactured hype, plain and simple. which is why many luxury brands are in the state they are in especially lvmh.

I wonder how those bags look when the zippers are open.
But even closed, I haven’t seen one pic where the zipper isn’t puckering.
They’re stupid looking.

I also find the handle placement, length, and colors of his bags, especially the brown one, very reminiscent of Daniel Lee's BV.

But overall, Michael's products are still more desirable than Ferragamo.

Maybe we should rename the thread to Resort, Cruise or Spring as they are showing the SS (or Summer) collection in October.

Good thinking! I just renamed the thread.

The good thing about this whole trend is for people like me who rarely get rid of their bags. I have still all my bags from years ago from some brands and it’s almost funny to see them quickly return to those bags, the pricing is different and I’m suddenly left with either to sell it or keep it decision.

But while I think the luggage is quite outdated with it bicolor features, I have never felt like the Phantom, the clasp and the tie among others were outdated. So I have still those bags.

On one hand, I welcome this because lately, designers introducing new bags = doing another version of a Chanel or Hermes bag. The more brands will try to have a distinctive line of bags, the more I will support it…Even if it means going back to the archives.

Nevertheless, for me, the new east west Phantom looks more like a travel bag. It will be interesting to see how he will develop the line at Celine as they have way too many unnecessary bags like the Conti.

Am I the only one thinking the nicest Phoebe-era Celine bag remains the Box with the characteristic clasp closure? It’s such a timeless and sleek shape, though obviously with a very different attitude than the ones featured in Rider’s collection.
