Céline Vintage Celine Triomphe Crest Flap Wallet Late 1970s Black

Paris in the late 1970s—Céline’s atelier on Rue François 1er stood in quiet
harmony with the city’s stone and ironwork, their motifs distilled into the
debossed Triomphe crest pressed into the front of this compact black leather
wallet. A gold-tone snap closure secures the curved flap, its surface free of
engravings, catching the light against a deep black grain.
Inside, the design is streamlined for function: a single compartment lined in
black fabric, flanked by two card slots, with the gold foil “CELINE PARIS” stamp set
in serif capitals above the Italian serial number. The exterior remains supple with
minor surface wear, the structure unwarped, and the corners intact.
Produced under Céline Vipiana’s direction, this era’s signature is embodied in
the Triomphe motif—a reference to the chain links of Place de l’Étoile, rendered
here as a crest featuring the house’s Paris address.
