The Celine website has updated with ecommerce for the carry-over Phoebe era accessories and a preview of the Slimane designs to launch in the near future.
I legit thought I was on the Saint Laurent site, omg. The layout, the colours... There's just no life to anything. They even managed to make Phoebe's pieces look so dull.
You know as a Computer Science major, with interest in Human Computer interaction, I can't fault the website design. It's clean, easily navigable, and clear photos. Yes it does look EXACTLY like the Saint Laurent website, but it looks luxe.
Words, but mobile navigation is still a bit difficult (imho
)Anyways, my 2 cents for the new collection.. it's alright? Biggest disappointment will be the Alphabet Necklace. How can you go from instantly recognizeable that it's Céline to something you can find in Chloé or other designer house? (No offense, but my point is that it's just... Alphabet on a square brass... Nothing else)
No comments on bags or pouches because I think I'm not in the market for one yet, so I can't judge
Straps wallet are a bit disproportioned from the pictures, the straps are too wide, but I might have to see in real life.
I like the jewelery design though. But kinda disappointed that's it's animal print or it's chain. Not my type, and kinda too on trend
Is he keeping some of the team?
After checking the website out on my desktop, I have another 2 cents (can't stop doing that, sorry for the pic spam!) :
- I can only see the price on desktop, but my SA said she hasn't received the price list so not 100% sure that these are the retail price here. But hopefully so, since some pieces are actually seems... more affordable?
- Seems that they use the calfskin for SLG lining, but price is either comparable or cheaper. Makes me wonder if it means the quality is lesser than Phoebe's collection, or now they decided to lessen the gross margin. I seriously thought 16 bags will be more expensive than the Classic Box, and other pieces will be priced higher but it's not (really).
- Same goes for the new Medium Classic lookalike (Triomphe and C), a bit more affordable than Classic, but it seems that the grain in the new Classic Box is now different? Anyone can confirm this? If it's indeed different I really crave an old Classic box now...
- They charged S$670 for this, if I knew this is going to happened 3 months ago I would snag the Alphabet pendant + chain for much higher price
- I actually like the Flap wallets without buttons better, but I like the buttons on the Strap wallets more
- I changed my mind about the jewellery after seeing them on desktop, not feeling them
- I kinda have one wish list from the new collection though, and I tried to get them on natural calfskin

That necklace is so horrendously basic.

I could see prices on my desktop and phone yesterday, but now they're gone. I wonder if someone put them up, and they weren't supposed to release those yet so now they're off the site.

I'm actually a fan of the Triomphe bag. However, I do not like the strap.
Might be regional/area settings on the website, now prices are displayed when I'm browsing on mobile as well.
But could be wrong though, we'll never know if there's further adjustments until it came to the stores
If they decided not to release Alphabet collection under Hedi I am ok with it no big deal, but they go with this??? Nope, I'm raging
Overall pretty ok collection, hopefully future collection will be better.
Ridiculous. It's like they hired Slimane to do nothing.
Exactly. The above bag and the "alphabet" necklaces/charms are horrendous. Worse and less creative than anything that has appeared at Zara, H&M, or Forever 21. If you looked at just the pictures of this bag and the necklaces, you would think they were very cheap in price both because of the "design" and materials.
