The Celine Luggage is a structured top-handle tote introduced by Phoebe Philo in 2010, in her debut era at the house, and it became one of the defining It-bags of the decade. Its signature is the face-like front, a central zip nose flanked by two wing panels and rounded top handles that read like ears. Often made in smooth calfskin with contrasting color blocking, it has a firm trapezoidal body. The Luggage helped set the minimalist, architectural tone of Philo-era Celine.
