The Céline Luggage Tote, launched in 2010 under Phoebe Philo, quickly became a defining It bag of the 2010s. It was celebrated for it's structured shape, winged sides, and minimalist luxury. Although the initial craze eventually settled, today the Luggage Tote is re emerging as a nostalgic yet enduring classic. It's resurgence is driven by the cyclical revival of 2000s and 2010s It bags that blend timeless design with modern sensibilities.
The arrival of Michael Rider as Celine’s creative director has intensified this comeback. His recent collections have reimagined legacy pieces, including the Luggage Tote, with playful updates that combine heritage with contemporary flair.
