Hi TPFers!!
So I have finally broken my Celine 'virginity' as well..!

I'm mad excited about it!
I actually just came back from a solo trip to Paris and Madrid, and managed to snag one Celine in Paris (and 1 Loewe Amazona in Madrid which I will post in another thread

!). Initially, I was hunting for a Mini, but it was sold out everywhere! So here I was, roaming around the Celine corner in LaFayette, talking to the sales lady (who was sooo nice to me btw), when she suddenly asked if I would like to see this bag that she has hidden in their storeroom. Apparently, it was the only piece they had, which made me squeal even much more!
So when she finally took out this beauty, I was so captivated by it! I wanted her to take my money right there and then, no questions asked!

So here it is - my new Celine Large Phantom in Stamped Croc! I did not get the small phantom as it was too tiny for me (I'm a guy and I'm 5"9!!!). The Large Phantom was perfect for my size and stature!

So enjoy the pics! Loving it soo much that I can't bear to use it just yet! Tres chic!!
P.S: Any of you ladies or gents out there who are able to identify which season this bag is from? It does not have the Celine embossed logo on the front (only on the inside), and the hardware for it is of Gunmetal color. I did see around TPF other Celine Phantoms with black hardware and Gold hardware... Hope some kind soul out there could enlighten me on this!
