STYLE Edit: Celine’s new Triomphe mini bag gives a fuss-free refresh to a noughties throwback fashion trend

An elevated saddle bag with a definite vintage vibe, the Celine Tabou is inspired by the house’s archival designs from the 1980s. Like the 16, the Tabou also stands out in its timelessness, featuring a very clean gold padlock on the face as its sole hardware, and offered in three neutral colourways for the season – tan, anthracite and rice.

Celine has also expanded upon the Celine 16 line with the Teen Soft 16. The new shape is played in smooth calfskin in either black or tan. The elements that make the 16 so covetable, the cropped flap and rounded and belted effects, are maintained in the smaller Teen Soft. 

The removable textile strap for potential cross-body wear also gives the Teen Soft a younger, more active feel than its predecessors.
