Lunettes Céline

Céline sunglasses sit among the most copied accessories in modern luxury: the Triomphe frame — slim gold arms, interlocked-CC hinge — became the bourgeois shorthand for designer eyewear after 2019. Our pre-owned selection covers authenticated pairs, from Phoebe Philo's oversize tortoise acetates to Slimane's slim gold-metal frames, plus the Edge and the reissued Audrey.

The most-searched Céline frames

The Triomphe (refs CL40057U, CL40194U, CL40226U) in black or tortoise acetate with the gold-logo hinge is the current best-seller. The Edge, with its flat central bridge designed by Phoebe Philo, holds a strong archive value. Oversize tortoise frames (rectangular or butterfly) remain emblematic of the 2008-2018 era, while slim metal pairs in gold or silver define the Slimane decade. The catalogue also includes optical frames in the same shapes for buyers fitting prescription lenses.

Authenticating a pre-owned Céline pair

Every pair is verified before going live: interior reference (CLxxxxxx) and colour code on the temple, laser-engraved logo, acetate quality (density and finish), and metal-frame weight. Pre-2018 pairs are marked CÉLINE Paris with the acute accent; from 2019 the accent disappears and the signature becomes CELINE Paris — the cleanest era marker on Céline eyewear. Original case, microfibre cloth and outer box are noted in each listing when present.

Buying Céline pre-owned: price band

New Céline sunglasses retail between €350 and €600. On the secondary market, expect €80 to €280 depending on model, year and condition of the lenses and acetate. A clean Triomphe with original case typically trades around €180 to €250. Discontinued Phoebe Philo pairs, sought after by collectors, can pass €400 when condition is mint.
