Céline Medium Diamond Tricolour Leather & Suede Shoulder Bag

Céline Medium Diamond shoulder bag from the Spring/Summer 2012 collection, designed during Phoebe Philo’s celebrated tenure at the house and featured in Céline’s advertising campaign for the season.
This striking archival design is crafted in smooth black and tan calfskin, contrasted with vivid cobalt-blue suede panels and matching blue edging. The structured envelope silhouette is finished with an engraved silver-tone push-lock closure.

The adjustable and removable leather strap allows the bag to be carried comfortably over the shoulder or without the strap as an oversized clutch. Its accordion-style construction opens to three spacious compartments, complemented by an exterior zipped pocket at the back.

The bag remains in very good pre-owned condition, with its structure beautifully preserved. There are some light surface marks consistent with careful use and fine scratches and signs of wear to the silver-tone hardware, as shown in the photographs. The suede interior is remarkably clean and well maintained.

Made in Italy. Serial number W-NA-0172. Includes Céline dust bag.

Approximate measurements: 33.5 cm wide, 21 cm high and 11.5 cm deep.

A rare and increasingly difficult-to-find Phoebe Philo-era Céline design, originally retailing for approximately US$2,400.
