The Iconic Black Tote From Celine

It's about time I present to you my partner in crime, my favourite Celine handbag. This signature bag has all the reasons to be as popular as it is, and I will share all the essential points with you.

First, What Is The Bag Made Of?

If you are wondering what makes this bag a little pricier than a regular black bag, take a closer look at the materials.

The outside of this bag is designed with one of the most beautiful-grained calfskin leathers I have ever seen. The “Nano” is tinted into a deep black shade giving it a timeless, classy look that is easy to dress up or down. The black leather is accompanied by a curvy front design replicating the feminine body and adding a unique look to this bag.

The exterior design has a sturdy standing and is finished with a rolled top handle and silver detailing (logo, metal clasps, etc.). Celine added a zipped pocket to complete the look, giving you easy access to your essentials.

Luxury handbags are all about detail, and the Nano luggage bag considers your every need. The inside of this bag is just as pretty as the outside! Celine selected black suede for the line and protected the interior. Extra luxurious, you can easily find your belongings as it has a handy flat pocket to store your card, keys or other small objects.

Does Size Matter?

Ladies, we all know how important finding the right-sized bag is. That's one of the main reasons I selected this bag. The Celine nano bag measures 8 X 8 X 4 IN (20 X 20 X 10 CM), making it a smaller-sized tote. The bag's smaller size also makes it easier to handle and makes you feel more comfortable. I recommend this bag to those looking for an everyday companion, as you have more than enough space to store necessary items without weighing down your shoulder or feeling cluttered.

One Bag, Three Options

Talking of feeling cluttered, we all love a bag that can adapt to our situation and mood. This tote can be used as a hand, shoulder or cross-body accessory. The pack includes a main rolled top handle and an adaptable, removable leather strap 23″ (58 CM). I was fine with setting this up to my size and would advise keeping the strap inside the bag when unused. This saves my life most days!

My Review

The nano luggage bag is perfect in so many ways. What I love the most is how the bag is both practical and stylish at the same time. The top opening has a zipper making it perfect for city trips and travel. I have never had such a well-finished bag and love reaching into my bag because of the super soft black suede. I have had my handbag for a while and have not encountered any problems with the leather. But I do take extra care of keeping it dry and clean.

The bag that adapts to your lifestyle: Discover the Celine Cabas Phantom Medium

I am back with another favourite women's bag from my luxury collection. With warmer days approaching, I find it much easier to go with a bigger bag, and the Medium model, Cabas Phantom from Celine, is my go-to!

The Medium Cabas Phantom

If you want a piece that pulls together your outfits, this handbag is for you. The medium-sized caba is a versatile bag that fits any occasion. Easy to dress up or down for maximum impact. For the price, it sounds like a big investment. Here is what the bag has to offer:

First Up, The Outside

The Cabas Phantom takes on a minimalistic appearance with a firm structure. The medium-sized bag (11 X 14 X 8 IN) is designed using high-quality calfskin that is unique to each bag. Take a pick from three shades: Black, Taupe, and Grey. With its beautiful grain and details, such as the tightening belt around the top, and the Small golden logo, the Cabas Phantom is endlessly classy. You can tighten the bag for a tighter opening or leave it loose for easy access.

Next, The Inside

With a medium-sized bag, you have plenty of space to adapt to your day and needs. The Cabas style handbag is lined with calfskin on the inner side, which makes it practical and easy to keep clean. A bigger bag can also lead to problems when looking for items such as keys, money, etc. Celine has added an inner zipped pocket to keep all your precious things close to hand. The bag is complete with a double flat pocket and gold finishings.

How To Style the Medium-Sized Cabas Phantom Bag?

I love to wear this bag, and I have styled it in so many ways, but here are my favourites:

• The statement strap: You can add a pop of colour to your bags by wrapping a head scarf around one or both handles. This fun technique is highly trendy this summer and simple to do in minutes.
• Match your bag and purse for an extra-luxurious look. I use my Celine Triomphe wallet (review here) regularly, and this always gets me compliments.

How To Wear It?

This model is designed to wear over the shoulder, making it ideal for everyday use and city adventures. The bag's handle has a 9 IN drop and is made with sturdy leather to resist wear and tear. The handles are comfortable and allow you to carry the bag quickly, whether full or empty. I love that the straps are longer; I can easily rest my hand on the bag.

How To Care For Your Bag?

Like all luxury handbags, there are specific steps to keeping your bag looking its best. Here you will find our main tips for long-lasting leather:

• Never clean the bag using chemical products such as soap or wipes.
• To clean your bag, you can use softer products such as a milky makeup remover (perfume free). This helps to keep the leather of the bag flexible and shining.
• Avoid storing the bag in humid or warm areas like the bathroom or kitchen.

My Review

I finally finished reviewing one of my favourite models from Celine and just had to share it with you.

The black Cabas Phantom makes my life much easier, and I would be lost without it! The bag has a perfect size for those that want a bag that does it all. You can store quite a lot inside this bag, making it ideal for in-between seasons to keep a jacket or for those days you need more space like the summer (towel, swap of bikini, etc.). I love how this black handbag adds an elegant touch to my outfit without screaming for attention. If you do not like black bags, the other two shades are lighter and great for tying in beige colours. This bag does a lot, just like the no makeup and makeup looks. (I will add more pictures of the inside of the bag)

The bag has a spacious inside, and to help me stay tidy, I use a felt organizer. I use the inner pockets to keep my smaller objects and love tightening the top using the belt. This gives a unique shape to the bag and allows you to protect your items.

I also noticed how comfortable the straps are on the skin. No more digging in or slipping away. The leather is super soft and has a beautiful grain to it. Celine's Cabas is simplicity at its best. Celine has combined high-quality materials that make the bag a show-stopper. Sometimes less is more, and the medium-sized Cabas Phantom is worth it!
