The Belt Bag debuted in 2015, as a more minimal followup to the Luggage Tote and the Trapeze Bag. Season after season, it was reissued in new colourways, and even sizes. In her final year at Céline, Pheobe Philo's Céline released some of their largest collections before her departure, including this specific colourway. I bought this when I learned Hedi Slimane, Celine's new creative director, made the decision to remove the acute accent from the 'e' in the creative house's branding (which Philo added), despite continuing to sell Philo's original designs. This bag is a symbol of style that was made by an icon who was being erased by her successor; I had to have one with "her" name still on it. In my mind, she's like the British Woman counterpart to the American Man that is Rick Owens; her designs were focused on what she believed women truly wanted to wear, a similar philosophy to how Owens is inspired to design by things he'd want to wear in his everyday life.
This bag is made of an artificially grained calfskin, similar to Hermès' "Epsom" leathers, meaning that before construction, the hides were processed with heat and pressure to create a perfectly consistent grain that masks small imperfections in the material, and makes it more resistant to scratches and water.
