Vintage Celine Leather Zip Pouch Black Beige c. Late 1980s

A smooth black leather body meets tan-beige trim at the edges, the silhouette clean and compact, built to slip under the arm or in hand. The front is anchored by a leather plaque bearing Céline’s blazon crest with intertwined ‘C’ motif, understated yet unmistakable. The gold-tone zipper runs the full length of the top edge, while the interior is lined in black fabric with a single zipped pocket.

This pouch dates to the late 1980s or early 1990s, during the Céline Vipiana era, when the house was synonymous with the Parisian school run and a kind of bourgeois sportswear. The serif ‘CELINE PARIS’ gold stamp and the crest logo reference the brand’s codes before the arrival of Michael Kors, grounding the piece in its original context.

Edges show light wear and fine surface scratches; structure and plaque remain bright. No accessories are present. The result is a discreet Céline piece from a period when subtle branding and functional luxury defined the house.
