The C(é)line Luggage carry took the world by storm when it hit the scene back in 2010. developed by none other than Phoebe Philo herself, the Luggage carry was not an immediate hit as you would imagine. Rather, this unlikely It-bag took a minute to pick up heavy steam before ultimately ending up being a go-to for fashion’s elite, celebrities, as well as daily collectors just like us.
The Luggage carry would go on to ended up being a essential for Celine, reimagined season after season in numerous iterations spanning different leathers, fabrics, as well as almost every color you might imagine. Today, the Celine Luggage carry is still being produced, in spite of Philo’s exit from the brand back in 2017. An unmistakable icon now synonymous with the Celine brand, is The Luggage carry a true permanently classic, or has it ended up being a dated trend?
new traditional or Dated Trend?
Nearly a year ago, I composed about the like I still had for the Celine Luggage Tote, as well as while that hasn’t altered much, I’ve yet to add one to my collection. just recently when scouring the resale market for present deals, I began to ponder why precisely I didn’t take the plunge. Then, Megs was responding to a Q&A on Instagram just recently when a follower asked her viewpoint on the Luggage Tote, as well as that truly got me thinking. Sure, the Luggage has proven its staying power at this point, however when I look, as well as I imply truly look long as well as hard, at the Luggage Tote, what is it that I see?
The 2010s were a extremely particular time in fashion. From peplum tops as well as neon-colored bandage gowns (where in the world is Hervé Léger?) to platform heels as well as skinny jeans, I realized that I partner the large, winged silhouette of the Luggage carry with the fashion patterns from a decade ago. as well as while the nostalgia of the Luggage carry does pull at my heartstrings as well as bring me back, I feel that it has ended up being kind of dated as well as overplayed.
A huge part of me hates to state it since for so long the Luggage was a bag I liked as well as lusted after, however I don’t see the shape being easy or smooth sufficient to stay a true classic; rather I feel the silhouette will always be connected with the 2010s as well as its fashion. I’m not stating that I dislike the Luggage, nor am I stating that if I had one, I wouldn’t wear it. however personally, I feel like it’s as well late to join the Luggage carry bandwagon, as well as for me, this isn’t a situation of much better late than never, however a situation of a missed chance (oh well).
Maybe my longing as well as like for this bag for so long was much more about longing for a time that feels like one more life ago.
