Handbags

A gold-tone push-lock clasp, engraved with Céline’s horse-drawn carriage motif, secures the smooth black leather exterior of this bifold wallet—its crisp lines and slender silhouette make it ideal for carrying in the hand or with the flap open. The front bears the “CÉLINE PARIS” heat stamp in serif gold, accented with a marked “é,” while the corners show subtle scuffing and fine surface scratches from use. Inside, two main compartments and a pair of slip pockets are lined in matching black leather. The absence of serial or sizing marks, along with the carriage clasp and stamped label, date this to the late 1970s–1980s, a period when Céline Vipiana’s vision for the house was equestrian elegance without ostentation—leather goods designed for women who drove themselves through Paris. Era: Late 1970s–1980s (visual dating; gold-tone carriage clasp and stamped label) Condition: Good — scuffing on the corners and surface scratches on the exterior; hardware is bright, structure is sound Material: Smooth leather with a gold-tone push-lock clasp Color: Black leather exterior and lining; gold-tone hardware Dimensions: 18.5 × 10 cm Made in: France
