It is time for a new fashion review and as you can see from the title and the image on this post, I am going to be speaking to you all about the Celine Triomph Handbag. This hit the big time in around 2022 and 2023. As much as I loved it at the time, I have a system for adding new designer items to my collection and I decided to sit on it. I waited, bided my time and then when it was still playing on my mind the best part of a year later, I decided to treat myself. I have been using and loving this Celine Triomph Handbag for a good few months now and I feel ready to share my thoughts with you.
Why I wanted this bag.
Celine was a brand that I adored from afar for a very long time. I was seeing the pieces that they were releasing and falling more in love with every single item. When the Triomph bag was released, I knew that it was an item that I wanted to own. However, it exploded on Instagram at the time, and I decided to give it a wide berth. But after the hype died down, it was an item that I still longed to own. That is when I know it is a long-term item for me and my closet.
The overall appearance of the bag.
As I have mentioned before, I have tried to stay away from trend pieces. I want pieces in my closet that I will go back to time and time again, regardless of whether they are in the height of fashion or not. When I first saw this item, I was stuck with how beautiful it was and I knew that I could make it work in my closet. I loved that the overall shape and style of the bag was rather simple and classic, btu then it had the bold branding in the gold buckle, and I was head over heels.
The size inside.
Something that I truly adore this bag is the space available inside. Once you open that flap, it is like a Tardis inside. Never when I have used this Celine bag do I wish that it had more space available. The one thing that I will say is that it isn’t a particularly malleable bag. The shape it is, is the space you have available. I one tried to get my camera in here, but because it was a slightly different shape, there was no way that I was going to be able to get it inside this bag with the flap closed. But that isn’t an everyday occurrence for me so not something that I worry about too much.
The durability of the item.
This is where I need to get honest with you guys. From face value, the item is truly stunning, and I bought it knowing that it was soft leather. However on my first outing with this handbag, I grabbed the top of the bag (not from the strap), and it left a greasy makeup mark on the bag. Normally I would just get a dry cloth and buff at the fabric, but that didn’t seem to cut it. This time, that mark was on there for good and I was scared to really try and remove it through fear that I may ruin the bag. Then, to get into the bag, you have to press two buttons in either side of the strap. If you do that with long nails, you are going to scratch up that buttery soft leather. Not ideal.
The strap.
The final thing that I want to mention on this item is the strap. I don’t know why, but to me the strap on this Celine Triomph Handbag just seems a little underwhelming. Honestly, I didn’t expect something ridiculous or garish, but the simple leather just seems a little underwhelming. I think I would have preferred it if the strap was connected via eyelets at the side rather than it just being sticked straight into, he item. It would have just made it a little more special. However, I have a friend that loves the simplicity of the strap because you have the bold branding on the front.
As always, I hope you guys enjoyed reading this post on the Celine Triomph Handbag. It has been a great addition to my designer collection, and I always get so many compliments whenever I wear it. The only thing that I do have to say is that you need to be prepared for that leather to mark and scratch. The first time I wore it, I got a greasy mark on it that was very difficult to remove and then the scratches around the clasp from my nails scratching against the leather. But from face value, the handbag is amazing, and I adore the overall look of the item. Just don’t look close or you will see the imperfections!
