Any guesses or speculation for Hedi’s 1st collection?

I got these off the IG account of a Senior Art Director at a brand design consultancy firm. I'm not sure if they're legit or conceptual, or if they were prototypes? No names as I don't want to land anyone in hot water.

And these were described as a collaboration with Christian Marclay. My French is super basic but here's the full caption:

I’m glad to see Box, Belt, and Big bag are staying. The last heavily vintage-inspired flap look a little bit promising. But other than that, still no. I can’t imagine what type of personality would like his bag. I mean I’m curious. But I just can’t think. They look just like any chain-strap flap in the market. And... um.... old lady’s bag. But that’s JMO.

Discussion on another forum (which I won't link to) has someone with inside knowledge of NEW CELINE's initial performance.... and they aren't good.

Allegedly only 22 Hedi bags were sold after the initial launch, and the majority of those sold in Asia not Europe (much to NEW CELINE's chagrin). Also, NEW CELINE has allegedly been paying for positive comments on social media while simultaneously deleting the waves of negative comments. Execs are allegedly furious to the Old Céline backlash. The brand is purportedly having issues getting editors and buyers to come to press days, and some buyers have supposedly cancelled orders that were placed after the initial showroom viewing.

If this keeps up, I wonder how long Hedi will enjoy this throne.

I did a very cursory browsing on Instagram and found most buyers of the 16 bag on Instagram were indeed Asian. Mainly Japanese.
