Thanks for sharing. The photos convinced me once more that what's important is HOW a person is carrying a certain handbag. The bag looks gorgeous on Angelina and Carine Roitfeld, but I really dislike it on Jessie James Dekker.
I really like Le 16 , but I do not see it as a versatile item that can be worn by many women with different styles. If it's worn "correctly" it's exquisite but a "wrong" outfit may easily turn it into fashion faux pas
No problem :) I do like this bag, I’ve seen it up close and it’s beautifully made. I haven’t tried it on properly so it’s good to see how others wear it to get an idea. I love it on Carine Roitfeld too, but she’s always chic stylish. I don’t think the handbag warrants such a high price tag though.
 
Just a few more pictures of everyday people who own the bag.

Me too! So you prefer the original Medium size or the Small. What’s your favourite colour in this bag?
I think the medium looks the best. The small looks cute and pretty but I like the elegance of the medium (something about its proportions). It looks beautiful in the large as well. I wonder if Hedi's team will make a men's version like they did with the Sac de Jour. The large can work for a guy except the hardware at the moment is a bit feminine.

I like the look of the satinated calfskin more, and I think black makes the best impact although the green is beautiful too. Which colour is your favourite?
 
Pictures of the Celine Le 16 Medium in grained calfskin. The colour is Medium Grey.
Thanks again for all your pics of the 16 dear @Miss World ! There is only 1 bag that I am lusting for since it came out & it is this one! Ahhhh. I’ve been downsizing my overall collection & am not in buying mode but if I “slip up” it will be this bag & it will partially be your fault:lol:& @BlueCherry :wave::giggle:for torturing me w/ pics of Le 16:wtf::love:

Oh dear I am very sorry haha. :lol: I agree it’s a beautiful bag but a lot seem to dislike it. I can’t justify the price yet though plus I have so many things on my wishlist from Gucci, YSL Large envelope bag, Chanel Flap bag and list goes on :lol: but I’m trying to be super good this year, really strong will power needed.
 
FFA9FC72-783E-43C7-A97A-BE654F2E2B68.jpeg My hubby has decided to get me the LE 16 in medium size for my upcoming birthday but since we only have 1 Celine boutique in Malaysia, we do not have the entire range. I prefer the grained leather simply because it is not as fragile as the satinated smooth leather but the problem is they only have it in grey. They however have all the colours (except Amazone) in satinated leather. I don’t quite like the grey on me but love the black and dark blue satinated leather. However, am very concerned about how fragile it is and how easily scratched it can get (I have young kids who like to grab things and can be rough with my stuff). Has anyone owned the satinated LE 16 for awhile and advise me please? Also, between the black and the dark blue, which should I get? I have a black Chanel 2.55 in size 227 but I do not have any blue or dark blue bags.
