Vintage Celine Grained Leather Bifold Wallet Late 1970s Navy

Gold-tone corner protectors break the line of deep navy grained leather, their crisp edges framing a classic bifold silhouette. The Celine crest is embossed at the lower front, its serifed logo and shield motif rendered with the restraint of late-1970s French leather goods. Inside, navy fabric lines two main compartments and a single slip pocket—space for notes, papers, or cards, the construction supple and compact in hand.

This design lands in the Céline Vipiana era, c. late 1970s–1980s, identified by the shield blazon logo and the weighty gold-tone metal hardware—details closely tied to Vipiana's vision for the house as Paris’ answer to equestrian luxury, precision-built with a discreet sense of status. The absence of interior serial or model label is typical for Celine small leather goods from this period.

Grained leather holds colour with a low gloss, showing light edge scratching and minor surface marks but no deep wear. The gold-tone hardware remains bright. No accessories are present; all compartments clean and intact.
