Description & history

A Céline Boogie bag in Triomphe jacquard canvas · smooth brown leather handles, panels and piping · aged gold-tone hardware · hand-carried · central zipped compartment · two side slip pockets · date code CE00/** · 2000s period · 34 × 20 × 14 cm · grade B.

The Boogie belongs to that generation of early-2000s Céline bags that are now sought after with purpose. Its silhouette is instantly recognisable: a wide, low trapezoid with open sides that spread when filled, two short handles mounted on large gold-tone rings, and a leather panel placed on the front like a plaque. It is a bag with character that needs no logo — the only visible signs are the small Triomphe crest-stamped buttons.

This model comes in Triomphe jacquard canvas: the motif is not printed but woven into the material itself, in brown on a beige background. The result is more matte, more textile and more understated than the house’s coated canvases — a discreet, almost tailored elegance. The handles, panels and piping are in smooth brown leather, while the aged gold-tone hardware warms the overall look without making it harsh.

In use, it is genuinely practical. A central zipped compartment divides the space in two, avoiding a catch-all bottom of the bag, while two slip pockets sit at the sides — a phone on one side, keys on the other. At 34 cm wide, it easily holds a continental wallet, cosmetic pouch, passport, AirPods and even a paperback book or e-reader. It is the ideal format for full days, whether at the office or on the move.

Good overall condition, grade B — clean, stain-free jacquard canvas, light but discreet signs of previous use on the leather, and an interior in good condition showing signs of previous use. No major flaws to report; everything is documented in the photos. Sold with a dust bag and RARR Vintage certificate of authenticity.
