I think the bag looks dated to people who actually follow fashion (like a lot of the ladies here). To the person who does not pay close attention to trends, they will see a high-quality (possibly) expensive looking leather handbag. I have a dark brown mini and I just purchased one in Souris. I went into Celine in Barcelona over the weekend and fell in love with the Souris, but couldn't justify spending the retail price on it; not because I didn't think it was worth it, but because I knew I'd find it for a LOT less on VC or other similar sites.

The bag feels heavy, yes, but so luxurious. I love mine and find myself reaching for it time and time again for work, airport hang luggage and day trips. You won't regret buying it if you get it pre-loved for 40-50% off!

"In style?" Girl, buy what you love and what works for you, not whats in style. I just got on board with the Celine Trio bag and am sorry I did not take notice of it until now. Is it still in style - don't know or care, but I will tell you its functional, lightweight, classy and I am in "ain't wearing no bag weighing much as a baby" heaven. Besides if you keep something long enough, trust me it will come back in style some day. Good luck!

Although I agree you should buy what you like, I do think this looks dated. Since Phoebe Philo no longer designs for Celine, I think this will be seen as an old style as Celine goes in a different direction. It is the same with Balenciaga, for example. It has been rumored that the City bag will be phased out as more people are liking their newer designs (not me, but that's a different story, LOL).

If I wanted a basic black bag for work and travel, I would go with a non-distinctive style if I wanted it to always be in fashion. Many designers make beautiful black bags. I believe the Saint Laurent totes are very popular now.

If you search for which bags truly maintain most of their value and are always in style, it is still the big three - Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.

I think Gucci, Givenchy and YSL might join soon the very select group of the classic brands that never go out of style which I think are 5 already not three those 5 are Dior, Fendi, Chanel, LV and Hermès.

And soon will be an 8 classic brands group joining the three i first mentioned


YSL classics will be : The Cassandra, the College bag and Sac de Jour.
For Gucci will be the marmont and The soho Disco
For Givenchy will be The Antigona

I want to echo what you said about the future classics! With YSL I think it should be up there. They have rolled out great pieces. The SDJ had a mass phenomenon years ago and still is popular. This coveted bag should be able to catapult YSL.
As far as Gucci and Givenchy. They are great in putting out trendy products that sure do attract consumerism. I love both, but there's something about Gucci that I can't fully give my heart to. But I love my furry princetown slippers and I will rock em for years! I also love the GG marmont logo! Givenchy is more favorable to me since it is classic chic. I love the small pandora bag. It's my favorite casual bag!

Thanks I was a little scared of saying that people would think I’m crazy about calling these brands future classics instead of trendy luxury.

I think there is trendy luxury and classic luxury.

Right now YSL and Gucci trendy luxury align with Balenciaga but I think soon Gucci, YSL and Givenchy will soon be part of the other group
