Description
Brand: Celine Material: Macadam coated canvas and leather Exterior Colour: Brown and tan Pattern: Macadam monogram with horizontal leather stripes Hardware: Gold-tone Dimensions: 13" W x 19" H x 4.5" D (approx.) Handle Drop: 9" (approx.) Closure: Top zipper Interior: Tan canvas lining with zip pocket Interior Marking: MC96* Country of Origin: Made in Italy This vintage Celine tote exemplifies the house's celebrated Macadam era, a design vocabulary introduced in 1972 that carried the maison through three decades of understated French luxury. The striped composition alternates bands of Macadam monogram coated canvas—woven with the interlocking C motif inspired by Parisian cobblestone—with smooth tan leather, a construction favored for its durability and graphic impact. Dual rolled leather handles and gold-tone hardware anchor the design, while the structured silhouette and top-zip closure speak to practical elegance. The interior bears the MC96 code, situating this piece within Celine's Italian atelier production of the 1990s, when such totes served as everyday companions for a generation seeking quiet refinement over ostentation.
