Am very late to the Philofile party. Kind of like slipping in the through the back door in the dying hours...
Started innocently enough with a couple SLGs in October last year - "OMG, get something before they're gone!" Then, before I knew it, I had acquired a Phantom Cabas Tote in stunning Abyss Blue. Followed by a couple more SLGs, a Small Vertical Cabas Tote, a Small Trio and the big bang: a Small Big Bag.
Have been a Philo fan since her Chloe days, but didn't have the funds back then. Am kicking myself now because I wish I had been paying close attention to the collections, i.e. the clothes, the footwear and the seasonal bags. Have been stalking tPF since I started collecting and am in awe of those of you who really know your s**t, e.g. natural calfskin aficionados. Am in Canada, but have been travelling to Europe regularly and could have started collecting at a more sensible pace... but maybe I wasn't ready to spend the $ and maybe I wasn't confident enough in my own taste...
Anyway, off to Europe in September and have orchestrated a route that will take me through outlets outside of London and Paris in pursuit of #oldceline. If anyone has any tips or recent experiences with old stock at either outlets or Celine stores, kindly share!
(So... this is what confession in the Catholic church must feel like: "Forgive me Father, for I have Célined".)
