Hi everyone!

I purchased the mini belt bag in black, Philo-edition, with the é, and as new 😍

I know it’s not the latest of the IT bags so I’m having trouble finding outfits showcasing the bag that are not from 2016. Instagram etc. - most posts are old, and clothing has changed a lot since then. Are there any fans out here and would you like to put together examples of how you’d style the bag TODAY?


Outfit examples, flat lays, VIP mod shots or your own images. Show me what you’ve got - let’s style the céline mini belt bag, but make it 2024. 🥳🤭❤️

Lol! I came across your thread while researching this bag! Congrats on your newbie! Maybe people are shy to share pics, which is understandable

I reckon with sneakers and baggy jeans it'd work very well for 2024! 2016 was more fitted and skin tight clothing if I remember right. And of course the Nano Belt can still be dressed up for '24. Mini or maxi skirts, summer dresses, blazers over summer floral skirts, etc

I'll post pics or links if I come across any

I have Micro Belt for over 4-5 years already and I love it, even if I haven’t worn this bag this year so far as much I usually did, for me it’s more autumn-winter bag or whenever I travel I bring it with me, especially to NYC and Paris, I like to style it with boots, a pair of jeans, a sweater and a coat in winter or a pair of sneakers, trench coat in spring/autumn… for me it’s a bag that can be easily dress up or down, so I think even you haven’t found that many outfit options online, it’s a timeless bag that can fit into many occasions from casual to more dressy

I just picked up a second hand mini belt bag in dune and I’m obsessed. Not only is it a great work bag, but it it sturdy and so fashionable in my opinion. I’m in my big bag era so I adore it. I use it to work so corporate outfits.

that sounds amazing! Sadly, I need to carey a laptop and it doesn’t fit because the bag won’t close if I put it in. Would love to see ur images!! ❤️

This is so funny because I am literally looking for the exact same bag! I told myself that no one else is looking for this bag in 2024 but me LOL but I was wrong! Good to know :)

I don't think I have any pictures, but I wear a Mini Belt Bag almost everyday (I have 3 colors 🤣 ... my favorite is the beige/taupe color, as it goes with everything). But seriously, I carry them everywhere - work clothes, with jeans, wearing sweatpants to run to Target. To me, they are bags that can be easily dressed up or down. Enjoy your new bag!

My belt bag is almost 5 years old and still looks amazing! What helped immensely with this was using a bag organizer, even though I usually prefer no organizers, especially for tote bags, but since Belt bag is structured and has only one inner pocket, using a bag organizer was really a good idea to have more pockets. When last year I was browsing Celine store (haven’t been there in a while, don’t like Hedi’s loud designs), the SA told me “wow, it’s impressive how she’s holding up great”

Totally agree. I’ve had so many Mini Belt bags that aged poorly because I never used organizers. The wings and the walls of the bag all collapsed and deformed. So kudos to you!

Love the Celine Mini Belt Bag. Looking at it for work and travel. Torn between this and the new LV Capucines GM Souple. Different price tiers but both gorgeous structured bags. Any suggestions?

I vote Celine 😅 but in Micro size as proportionally it’s made better and won’t lose it shape over time. Bear in mind very structured bags when in bigger sizes can be a bit difficult to manouver…but if you need smth big and capacious, than I can see the appeal of LV and its softer silhouette, also much more easier to open and close than the Belt bag. You also get a wider shoulder strap on LV, which is much more comfy than the thin strap Celine comes with (unless you buy additional wider strap)

I wish I could go for the Micro. I need something to fit my MacBook Air and the Mini is just about the right size (anything smaller will not work). I like your comments about the LV opening and softer silhouette. Rather confused now.
