Unveiled in Michael Rider’s Printemps 2026 collection, the New Luggage signals a poised revival of one of Celine’s most recognisable forms. Reworking the Phantom Luggage introduced under Phoebe Philo in 2010, this iteration softens the structure, lending the silhouette a more fluid, rounded ease while retaining its architectural authority.
Crafted in supple, high shine lambskin, the bag retains its signature front zip, including a subtle Smile variation that gestures to the house’s quiet wit. Heritage is referenced rather than replicated, with proportion and polish carefully recalibrated.
Function remains integral. The Small transitions seamlessly from crossbody to shoulder, the Medium favours hand or elbow carry, and the Large offers everyday structure without rigidity. A pared-back Flat Cabas completes the offer. Rendered in classic black and deep brown alongside citrus, oxide blue, suede calfskin and Porosus crocodile, the New Luggage reasserts Celine’s ability to evolve an icon without diluting its edge.
