The silver-tone chain and medallion clasp punctuate a compact silhouette in dark brown Macadam canvas, the Celine Paris horse-and-carriage emblem engraved at its centre. Each facet of the exterior is patterned with the maison’s interlocking ‘C’ motif, rendered in light brown across a coated canvas ground and framed by clean, folded edges.
This folding clutch is secured with a structured clasp closure, its hardware accented by a round medallion bearing both silver- and gold-tone finishes. Designed to be carried in hand, the piece opens to a single main compartment lined in brown fabric — scaled for cards or essentials, in keeping with late-1970s accessory proportions.
The Macadam canvas and signature hardware place this piece firmly in the Céline Vipiana era, circa late 1970s to 1980s, when the house’s Parisian identity was expressed through archival monogram prints and equestrian references. The accent on the “é” in CÉLINE and the horse-and-carriage motif further anchor it to this period.
Condition is very good, with only light wear at the edges and hardware retaining its brightness. The mannequin normally wears a size M.
