Although Phoebe Philo insisted she gave up creating 'IT' bags when she started designing for Céline, she still managed to create a hit - the Céline luggage tote. This bag is the anti-IT - it simple, elegant and rather classic, which in turn, made it a huge hit. The bag has become hugely popular with a big model following especially. Philo has said in the past that it's important that a bag can function as well as look pretty, especially for bags that are used casually:
"In the evening, it is less important, but for day it drives me crazy if a bag is not functional. The quality of the leather, the quality of the construction, the detailing, the craftsmanship. In the end, it is all of these elements."
Models such as Shu Pei, Hanne Gaby Odiele and Julija Steponaviciute have all been seen rocking this bag on the street when running to-and-fro at fashion weeks, and now Philo has given the bag a new twist for Spring/Summer 2011, with subtle patterns, warm colours and luxurious leather used throughout. Below is a look at 4 of the new 'luggage' bags, as well as some photos of models with this hit tote!
Jac also has it! ♥
