The brand began as a made-to-measure shoe service for children before rapidly expanding with stores across paris. encouraged by the success of the “Haute Couture” shoes for children and a high demand from mothers, the house’s founder, Céline Vipiana decided to extend the service to her prestigious female clients.

In the 1960s, she created the first line of leather goods and accessories, before expanding to luxurious sportswear, with a debut collection in 1968. From then on, CELINE’s allure evoked Parisian chic through exceptional savoir-faire, its timeless wardrobe, CELINE’s signature ‘Triomphe’ monogram – a symbol of the house since 1971 – celebrates this heritage.

Continuing Céline Vipiana’s legacy, throughout the years numerous designers contributed to reviving the house: Phoebe Philo reaffirmed the CELINE silhouette with her curated and minimalist vision while Hedi Slimane enriched CELINE by creating the couture, men’s, Haute Parfumerie and CELINE Beauté collections. Additionally, he reinterpreted the historical tromphe handbag and created the iconic 16 handbag.
