Hey guys! While shopping in Barneys yesterday, my friend and I saw some new Balenciaga cross body bag that looked JUST LIKE my Celine Nano! Now this morning, I got an email from Balenciaga, promoting their new python padlock bags.......upon opening it, I was shocked! Is this a clear Celine rip off? What do you guys honestly think???

Here is another shot of the padlock bag....To me, this is a clear copy of Celine's style. I don't get it? Balenciaga has a style all it's own, why do bags that look like Celine Envelope Mini luggage bags?

Oh dear...
Yes, that is definitely at least Celine inspired.
But I have seen a LOT of that going around from several designers being inspired by that bag.

It's kind of a shame because I'm just not that into Celine at all. Just too structured for me.
But I guess anything goes if they think they can make some $$$... :nogood:

I agree that it is very similar to the Envelope Luggage. I just can't remember if they had this style before. I for some reason believe that they have had the envelope front. The handles, the strap and the shape is definitely Celine.

Thank you girls, I totally agree with you. Chloe, that new Balenciaga bag is a rip off the Celine envelope bag in my opinion. I don't get it. Balenciaga has a style all it's own! Why copy others? You are right, bring back giant hardware, and new styles with giant hardware!!!!

Just googled lune and this is what came up

I guess it might have been an updated version but you can't help thinking they stripped most of the metal parts to make it look more like the luggage.

It's not only Balenciaga that has "similar" style has Celine though. I've seen other designer brands that try to "copy" Celine. Last night I was at the mall and passed by the Coach store and there I saw a Celine luggage tote look alike lol. :biggrin: SMH
