I have haunted this vintage Celine baby all the way from Japan to US, and then to Europe. Months after initial purchase, its is finally in my hands and I am very happy with this vintage find. This Celine chariot box bag is slightly older than me, but it looks stunning and chick. Its interior requires a bit of cleaning and maintenance, but this bag has a lot to offer and many years or wear!
The classic shape allows it to be worn as a night out clutch, or a shoulder bag. The roommy interior can store plenty of valuable possessions. And the dusty greenish-black-grey color would go with many looks and occasions.
PS: A separate Thank YOU to Wendy for opening up my eyes about this amazing brand in her post!
I have bought one of these recently, new to me, it came from the US !
How do you like it? For mine, I love that it looks almost as if its new on the outside. The only “but” with it, is the heavy leather smell it has
I love it, i wouldn’t say it has a smell though, just the faintest whiff of leather.
I’ve fallen in love with these vintage Celine box styles, just a few minutes ago another was delivered in the post !!!
This one is a blue leather and suede one and is just gorgeous and i’ll get a lot of use out of that one too !
Slightly smaller dimensions than the black one – which is fine.
I have a monogrammed one too which is nice for a change.
Not sure if pics can be posted in these replies, i’ll try later and show you them.
I’m soo excited for your aquisition! I would love to take a peak at your finds. Vintage accessories are amazing and tend to generate a ton of excitement for me. So if you have a pinterest account (or can think of other ways) and want to share it there-please let me know the link, I’d follow it right the way )
Morning !
It’s 6.36am saturday morning here in the UK, not sure where you are !
I’m going to see if this works – piccies !!!
My latest vintage find, a dark blue leather and suede Celine box, early 80s i think.

Hey! She is absolutely gorgeous and unique! Through all my searches for vintage Celine, I have not seen any close to yours! The navy shade looks very rich and velvet is absolutely luxurious! You’ve got yourself an awesome and one-of-a-kind bag! Plus with the vintage pieces, you can always resell them and get almost all your money back!
Thank you for sharing-it’s awesome to see someone with passion for vintage things like yours!
Ps: we are in Berlin 1-day shopping trip, I just scored myself a vintage pair of Celine glasses, so as soon as I get to my computer, I’ll post it as well!
Excellent, i’m glad that worked, i’ll show you the other vintage Celine now ….

I also have 3 vintage Hermes bags so i’ll show you them soon too !
You’re so right about being able to sell them on, for collectors, these pieces are worth a lot, i love using all my bags but it’s nice to know that if you wanted to sell them they’d be sought after isn’t it !
This one is pretty cool! The chariot clasp looks great, plus the bag seems to be in prestine condition! You are great in finding vintage items in very well maintained condition! Please share some other vintage finds of yours! It is so interesting to see your collection!
