The leather on the Celine Box looks the same, but the stitching is now white. I just bought a Amazone Celine Box in Paris the week of the show with the old logo. Not sure why they would make a change like this with the current collection. I definitely prefer the stitching to match the leather. The contrast stitching looks cheap. Also I noticed that the price of the Box Bag has gone up by $50, and that a natural calfskin Box is now available. The SA told me that they had discontinued that color in the box due to issues with scratching.
Any guesses or speculation for Hedi’s 1st collection?

For anyone that is interested in the trio, my SA (Soho Céline) informed me earlier tonight that while the trio will continued to be carried in the new collection, all of the hardware in this style will be updating to Silver only and the leather zipper pulls will be replaced with a regular metal zipper. Completely cheapens the look of the bag...
As someone who does website UX for a living I have to say their navigation is horrendous. It takes way too long to understand what is going on and you have to click through two pages to get to a product.
Wow that sounds ugly. The trio is one of my favourite and most used bags, I'm so glad I have two in the current style.
To be fair, he did put some blue bags among the black, white and pinks on the mirror-tables..

And every time you go into a product and jump back, you have to wait for the whole list to download and then scroll down back to where you were...
These are so... they look like bad contemporary. Because there are contemporary brands with much better looking bags...
But what I dislike the most is that they give this sense of design-by-numbers. I can just picture them around a meeting table and either Slimane or a marketing-type guy distributing briefs and going: we need a camera bag (think Gucci), and a chain bag (think Chanel), and a cartable flap with signature golden clasp (think Pochette Metis), and some quilting (think Chanel again), and ‘Cs’ everywhere (just don’t stop thinking Chanel). Oh, and we are missing a Kelly-lookalike, go get me some vintagey looking handheld bag.
Or maybe they just went on field trips to Kate Spade and Michael Kors.
This new C is terrible. It is a basic C they pulled out of the box of alphabet shapes in the kids blocks.
Ugh, I was hoping to get hold of one of the original alphabet pendants before this travesty lands, but I think the chances of that happening now are slim to none 
On a similar note, Dakota Johnson just wore Hedi to the redcarpet and it’s not....good. It’s everything people weren’t happy about - it’s short, it’s sparkly, it’s very 16-21 year old and it’s the antithesis of a classic piece.
