Hi everyone - I just tried a box bag on Friday and fell in love! I know the price increase just happened in May/June (I think) but could someone tell me how often Celine raises its prices? Just trying to predict when I should buy since I'm not currently in love with any colors out. Thank you in advance!:smile1:

I was just thinking the same thing! However I haven't keen keeping an eye out for the box. For comparison the mini luggage was 2000 in feb 2012 than soon after, march or April increased to $2400 and now it is $2800, so you can see the increase rate.

Hi

I went to harrods yesterday and the mini luggage has gone up to £1950. I find this to be quite expensive. I'm now in a dilemma, i do not know if i should buy this bag. I really wanted it for so long but i cant justify spending so much on this particular bag.

Is it a classic or just an IT bag?? I am totally confused if i should get it or not.

please help ...

or should i just get a chanel gst instead? atleast its a classic

I too have dithered over the Luggage, wondering if it has the potential to become classic. Some do call it classic and it could be simple enough to become one, but I personally have a hard time imagining a bag that is so hyped and everywhere to the point of saturation standing the test of time. It has been around for a bit longer than just a momentary "IT" bag - but it is still too early to tell.. the question you need to ask yourself is do you love it enough to not care if it is out in a few seasons?

I decided for me it is not and will be getting a beautiful Celine Edge instead... :smile1: That bag for me was love and I could not care less what others think.

I think the mini luggage is a classic. I bought mine with the intention of carrying it for the rest of my life. I do agree that £1950 is quite a lot of money to spend though... perhaps it'd be worth it to jut over to Paris and purchase it there? It'd be cheaper for sure.

I think it also matters what colour you decide on buying. I chose a nice, neutral colour (my mini is in Caramel, and you can check out here and here for photos) and avoided the tricolours, because I feel that the tricolours will more likely fall "out of style" once colour blocking becomes less popular. In the end, though, it's up to you! Do you think you'll love and wear the bag for a long time?

This!
I just can't imagine this design not becoming a classic. I have been loyal to LV for many years and the Celine Luggage has been the only bag that has ever really caught my attention away from LV! I only purchase classic pieces, I usually do not like trendy bags. I just purchased a black micro because it's gorgeous and to me it says "classic". Go for it!

Definitely a Chanel GST. I have both and love the Chanel a lot more than my Celine. I think the Celine will have some staying power, like the YSL Downtown, for example, but in the long run the Chanel is a classic you will use forever.

I know the price increase is insane but look at it this way, if u dont get it now, it will keep on getting more n more expensive, n u said tht u wanted a mini for so long, but if u cant justify paying so much for a celine y dont u get a preloved or get it from Paris which will be cheaper i assume with the tax refund. :smile1:

I don't know if any TPF memebers have mentioned about this before, tday i checked their website to see if they have released the prices of the fall collection, then I realized the bags from S/S 15 are wearing new price tags now.

The increase are around 9%-20%(didn't go through all bags, only some major styles)

Wonder if they did the increase only in Europe....:
