Serialized "The Best of the Best" No.383 Celine's wallet, a cool interpretation of the trionf.

Those of us of a generation familiar with the old Céline brand would have been more than happy to see Hedi Slimane as artistic, creative, and image director, because he has shed a lot of light on the history of the Maison. The new Céline brand is a great success because it sheds a lot of light on the history of the Maison.

Trionf is the design that Eddie left behind.

Celine Vipiana, the founder of the company, was involved in a collision in 1972 at Place de l'Etoile. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a chain surrounding the Arc de Triomphe. The rings of the chain appeared to be a series of symmetrical "C's". This was the moment when the idea for the macadam, which would become the roots of the Trionf, was born.

Eddie loved the design, which was a blessing in disguise. He then reconstructed it with his own sense of beauty and named it "Trionf. Trionf means "triumphal arch" in French. The motif that inspired the work was expressed frankly.

The Trionf Embossed Calfskin Bifold Wallet is literally a bifold wallet embossed with Trionf on calfskin.

The overall triumph is nostalgic, but the color palette of anthracite (dark gray) succeeds in giving it a cool new coat of paint.

With one coin compartment with snap buttons, four credit card slots, two large note pockets, and two flat pockets, the wallet is perfect in terms of practicality.
