So, I was poking around (aka, intensely scrolling through the internet) and noticed how CELINE keeps popping up. Like, everywhere. From the “Descubra” this and the “Descubra” that (apparently, they’re big on “discovering” things globally – and hey, who isn’t?) to mentions in lists of “most exclusive luxury brands.” It’s a whole *thing*.
But what about the clothes themselves? More specifically, that premium leather. I mean, let’s be honest, leather is *always* a vibe, right? Especially when it’s, you know, the kinda leather that probably costs more than my rent. We’re talking buttery soft, probably smells like a new car mixed with money, and just, ugh, pure *luxury*.
I saw mentions of “Ready To Wear for women” on their official Brazilian online store (Brazil, represent!), and that got me thinking. It’s not just about handbags anymore, is it? CELINE’s really pushing that clothing angle. And based on the “FALL 24 for Mulher” stuff, they’re not messing around. I’m picturing sleek leather jackets, maybe some sharp, tailored leather pants… the kinda stuff that makes you feel like you could conquer the world (or, at least, get a really good table at a restaurant).
Now, I’m not gonna lie. I haven’t *personally* touched a CELINE leather jacket. My budget leans more towards, uh, let’s just say “enthusiastically thrifting vintage finds.” But you can *feel* the quality just by looking at the pictures, can’t you?
And Hedi Slimane! Apparently, he’s been the creative force since 2018, whipping up the “essence of the celine silhouette” in Los Angeles. LA vibes + luxury leather? Sounds like a match made in fashion heaven (or maybe a really expensive runway show).
Okay, so here’s the thing that’s kinda tripping me up. There’s all this global presence – the “Descubra” in various languages, the boutiques in Japan, Hong Kong… it’s a whole international *situation*. But it feels a little… fragmented? Like, I’m hopping all over the world just trying to figure out what’s actually *available* in terms of leather clothes.
Maybe that’s the point, though? Maybe the exclusivity *is* the point. Like, you gotta *work* to find that perfect CELINE leather piece. It’s not just gonna fall into your lap (unless you’re, you know, a celebrity or something).
