By now, even the not so fashion savvy are familiar with the iconic silhouette that brings only one fashion house to mind; Celine. The revolutionary shape has been featured everywhere, from fashion blogs, to gossip magazines featuring celebrities sporting the "Luggage Phantom" (as Celine has named the above creations).
Personally, it took a bit of getting used to. I love the thought of putting something that you desperately want to hide (if, for example your "ordinary" or shall we say a bag of a more classic silhouette pops the attention-whore-sides out ), into the attention of the outside world and making it something special and something that you want to show off rather than hide from the judgemental eyes of the public. I have to say though, that the two-toned "Luggage Mini" bags (above) are definitely my favourite and not such a huge fan of the "Luggage Phantom".
The other day, while I was browsing through my local Coach store, I was dumbfounded when I saw their new collection featuring the "Candace Carryall" which has a suspiciously similar silhouette to Celine's "Luggage" bags.
It's a less severe version of the Celine handbags which might appeal to the less extravagant fashionista. Not to mention the price tag of course; Coach will surely lure in a broader audience than the select few who can afford the luxuriously "spread out" Celine bags.
