Hi Mary! My brand new Celine 16 arrived this afternoon! I love it so freakin much! The smell of the leather is amazing, almost like a deep cherry or almond extract scent. There is nothing I don’t love about this bag except that the strap is not adjustable. I saw on another Vlog that it was not really Celine’s intention for this bag to be worn crossbody so they deliberately made the strap non-adjustable. They want women to wear it as either a shoulder bag or to carry it using the top handle. The Vlog went on to say that women won’t buy a bag in this day and age if it doesn’t include a crossbody strap so they had no choice but to include one. Interesting take on it. I truly believe this is a bag that will become a classic for years to come. With the 60’s shape and design, it already looks iconic. I am so happy with my new bag, even though I might be eating Raman noodles for the rest of my life! 😁
Im about to have a trip to paris and so torn between the triomphe bag in teen size or the mini 16. Both bags are my dream bag right now but urgh….. they are so expensive
I’m 5ft . Kind of long to me but I love this bag . It’s beautiful in satiated calfskin black in gold hardware . It looks very expensive . And I can fit loads of stuffs lol
Love Celine 16 bag so much. It is in my radar. Only con for me is internal divide. Yes, it is very expensive. Hope they come out more type of leather. Great review Mary. Congratulations for 10K. You did awesome job 💕
Hi Mary. Great review of this bag. The structure (a little bit) reminds me of the D&G Sicily bag which I love, and does not the middle piece. Thank you for this review. XO
I feel what you say it looked mature and corporate 4 years ago but looks so nice worn now with just a feminine dress almost boho dress (Angelina ) is spot on - you know why ? We’ve been through a major top handle phase. Bags hand held by a handle were not a thing until the past 2-3 years. More of a 50s or 60s look hence mature before. Now it’s an actual bag trend that’s why it looks good to us worn casual too
Hello Mary I hope you are well. I was away for 2 months and saw all your videos but could not sign in. I don’t know why. That is the reason you did not see any comments from me. Did you see the new Navy Margaux bag today at Net a Porter? Beautiful. I also love this bag but as I mentioned before, I only intent to buy shoulder bags but the Navy is a dream.
Last for only two years? I don't purchase according to trends dear. SMH....they'll love you.

It looks fantastic on you/your frame. Does it come in a larger size?
Hi ! Which color is your bag ?
My style is very feminine and elegant, so this bag has been on my list for some time! Good review ❤
Hello! How is the wear and tear on this bag?

Love the dinosaurs in the bag. The Celine 16 carries all.
Did you just buy this bag from 24S? It’s been on my wishlist on there for a while and I noticed it’s now sold out. I think you bought my bag! Lol 😢

Hedi is a master of his craft, just got Wyatt Boots & can really appreciate the design thinking ! Good vid - you have good taste !!
I bought this bag this year and I love it. Very classic.
Love this bag, I think if I were to get it I would get it in the mini/smaller size. I do love the lack of obvious branding on it too
First saw this bag on Angelina and Lady Gaga, looks fabulous on you and so good on your overall body size 💕 Personally, I need it in that green exotic

Thanks for the review! Can you please share what color is your celine 16? Is this the safari color or trench?
Random question, but is the lock and key actually useable like the Kelly…the hardware doesn’t seem to have a hole?
