Céline Vintage Celine Bifold Wallet Late 1980s Black Leather

Gold-tone corner protectors accent the edges of jet-black smooth leather,
their crisp geometry catching the light on a wallet otherwise free of exterior
branding. The only mark is a blind-embossed roundel set low on the front,
bearing Céline’s Sulky horse-drawn carriage motif—a detail rendered without text,
characteristic of the house’s late 1980s accessory design.
This is Céline from the Vipiana era, when the Parisian house catered to a clientele
who sought equestrian-inspired designs in a style more discreet than Hermès, yet with the
same precision. The Sulky roundel and the absence of overt logos place this wallet
squarely in that lineage, echoing the brand’s focus on subtle luxury across its
small leather goods of the period.
Inside, black leather lines three card slots and a slip pocket; the construction
is precise and unembellished. Light surface scratches and slight wear at the
corners; hardware is shiny. No accessories included; serial number not visible.
