Clutches

A genuine vintage Céline clutch crafted in black suede, featuring the maison's iconic gold-tone horse and carriage clasp — Céline's original equestrian-inspired logo hardware, used before the brand's later rebrand to a plain wordmark. The front flap secures with a delicate suede pull-tab closure threading through the carriage emblem. This piece is thoughtfully designed as a convertible clutch: a concealed gold-tone curb chain is tucked inside the flap, allowing it to be worn as a shoulder or crossbody bag when extended, or carried as a classic envelope clutch with the chain hidden away. The interior is stamped "CÉLINE PARIS" in gold lettering, and features a zippered compartment with a decorative gold-tone pull tab. Céline, founded in Paris in 1945, built its early reputation on fine leather goods and equestrian-inspired motifs long before its later evolution into ready-to-wear. This horse-and-carriage hardware dates the piece to the brand's vintage era, making it a distinctive find for collectors of archival Céline design.
