Hey! I’m looking into getting a C medium bag in smooth leather (new, never used) at a very good price (around €1000). But as far as I understand it never became popular and has been discontinued just after a year after its release.

Anyone know why? It seems to be a very classic understated style with full leather lining. Does it have any flows?

I have no idea, other than the major backlash against the departure of Phoebe Philo. The major design changes really made a lot of Celine fans angry. As a fan of the old Celine, I can say I still love some of the newer designs - including the C bag. I have it in camel and am thinking about getting a black one as well (medium). It is one of the most amazing values on the market right now, so if you like it, you can really get a steal on the preloved market. Even new bags are selling way below what the quality of the bag would warrant. It is impeccably made, classic, and understated. Dive in!

Hi, I’m new in the world of luxury bags and obviously already addicted. I have found a very good deal on a quilted Celine C bag, however while doing my research I couldn’t find anyone talking about it in the last 2 years. I find the bag quite beautiful and I know they’re great quality, but I’m concerned about it going completely out of style soon (if it hasn’t already) or its resale value. Do you think I should get the C bag or save the money for other bags on my wish list?

Hi & welcome to the Purse Forum :smile:

I think the C bag is beautiful, but yes, it's not at hot as it once was. But it has a classic shape that's always going to be in style even if this particular bag isn't on everyone's radar anymore. If it's a good deal, and if you like the bag, then go for it. If in a year or two you decide you don't want it anymore, you'll probably be able to resell it and recoup most, if not all, of your money, because prices always tend to go up.

What I'm ultimately saying is, buy what you like, not what others like. You're the one who's going to enjoy the item, not them.

This is a lovely bag -especially with the quilted leather which balances out the "fontiness" of the "C" logo and I think it's quite classic, but yes the single "C" will be gone now. The "C" I think will only appear now in the double C triomphe logo (at least in the context of bags). That'll be the only reason it was discontinued.

Hello. Does the bag scratch easily, particularly the light camel one? I just saw a small C Bag in the local boutique carrying Celine and can't stop thinking about it! It's going for about $1700 (40% off tag price) and I love the leather. Just concerned about the wear and tear, color transfer, scratches on hardware, etc. Any feedback from C Bag owners? :)

I think the major scratch prone part would be the clasp itself. I own the medium C bag in quilted black. Didn’t experience damage to it except for the repetitive opening of the clasp. View attachment 5148840View attachment 5148842

Thank you for the photos, the leather still looks new! ❤️ A black C Bag is also available but I already have so many black bags

From the photos, seems that the scratches don't look too obvious since it looks like they're on the inner parts of the clasp. Am I right?

How long have you had your bag and do you use it often?

Hello all! Been also eyeing this bag. Does anyone have the small size?
What does it fit? Also, I’m having a difficult time deciding between the quilted and the smooth one…. I found a gorgeous grey smooth in the medium size (I don’t have any grey bags) and a greige/ taupe quilted in the small size…
Because of the lower price of the small I’m leaning towards it, but I don’t want to buy a bag that I cannot use, because it’s too small…

I've been obsessed with this bag for a while and I was going to get it for myself as a Christmas gift but then the color/combo I wanted got bought right from under me on the Real Real. I'll continue on my hunt for the one I want but I'd like to ask those that have a medium one one thing? What do you carry in yours? Does everything fit? I am looking to get one to use as an every day bag that will fit a chanel compact card wallet, a little pouch with odds & ends, and a prada keyholder along with my phone. Is the inside of the bag tight because it's leather or is it forgiving? For anyone who can answer I appreciate it! :)
