A Glimpse at CELINE’s Triomphe Journey

Since Hedi Slimane took over the creative realm at CELINE, the Triomphe bag line saw the light to become a signature of the house, reflecting the House’s values in every element of its design. It all started with an incident, when founder Celine Vipiana’s car broke down on the Place de L’Etoile. Inspired by the chain surrounding the Arch of Triumph in Paris as she laid eyes on it while waiting, she adopted the double links representing 2 “C” as an emblem on all her designs – from bags to shoes, RTW, prints and accessories.

For his first collection at CELINE, Hedi Slimane took this emblem to new heights – giving life to the Triomphe collection that soon gained its place as an icon. Distinguished by its pure shape and sharp lines, the bag turned into a rich family bursting with elegance. The Triomphe metal closure casted its charm on every creation launched as part of this collection, regardless of its size or shape. From the Large, Medium and Teen Triomphe to the Strap Triomphe, Triomphe Shoulder bag and the Chain Bag Triomphe, it seems to be a creative journey that marked the fashion world and therefore is far from being over.
