16
CREATED IN 2018 IN LOS ANGELES AS A TRIBUTE TO CELINE’S PARISIAN ADDRESS ON RUE VIVIENNE, 16 WAS THE VERY FIRST BAG DESIGNED BY HEDI SLIMANE, AND WAS A PRECURSOR TO THE CELINE LOOK.
INSPIRED BY THE TYPICAL CELINE SILHOUETTE OF THE 1960S, THE BAG WEARS TRAPEZOIDAL LINES, A SHORT FLAP, AND A KEY BELL BORROWED FROM TRADITIONAL LUGGAGES. 16 ENCAPSULATES THE STYLE OF THE MAISON AND DEMONSTRATES THE COMMITMENT TO EXCEPTIONAL CRAFTSMANSHIP. A LEATHER SAVOIR-FAIRE BASED ON THE GREATEST TRADITION, WITH LEATHERS SELECTED FROM THE MOST LUXURIOUS SKINS AND GOLD-FINISHED JEWELRY THAT MARKS THE DESIGN WITH ITS SOBER BRILLIANCE.
THE INITIAL 16 HAS SINCE BIRTHED MULTIPLE VARIATIONS, EACH ONE CAPTURING A RESOLUTELY CHIC, FRENCH SPIRIT.
