3 Retro Bag Trends to Wear from Celine's Saint Valentin Capsule Collection

Though these delightful bags come with an adjustable, removable leather strap, removing the strap and styling it in a hand carry, purse-like fashion will help create a more feminine, retro-chic look. Think Lady Diana Spencer, Grace Kelly, and Jackie Kennedy. 

Make a statement with the vibrant Celine Heart in a gorgeous, cherry red calfskin or opt for the tan shade if you prefer something a little more classic and demure. The heart-shaped nature of these bags – almost reminiscent of the Polly Pocket purses of yesteryear – is reimagined with softer, contemporary curves that lend a quirky elegance.  

The most retro-esque accessories in the capsule come in the form of these heart-shaped vanity bags. Vanity bags were popular in the '50s and '60s and they seem to be making a comeback, designed in a cleaner, more contemporary fashion.

Two variations are presented in the capsule. An edgier, dressier, textured black version and a more casual look, classic tan version. Featuring a long, elegant, curved handle and contrasting gold hardware that highlights its unique shape, this is certainly the boldest design for the lot. A true statement bag, this is one that will lend a quirky yet contemporary dose of retro glamour to your look. 

Y2k trends are not going anywhere it seems and for Valentine's Day, Celine presents two trends from the era – monogram prints and fur bags in the form of aptly shaped accessories.

The stunningly elegant Heart Tambour is dressed in Celine's Trimphoe Canvas. Tan calfskin accents provide definition to the body, which presents a slightly more angular shape than the Celine Heart. 

The Celine Triomphe logo features gold hardware on the snap button closure, lending a quaint, vintage feel to the design while an adjustable leather strap provides versatility with two styling options. Carry it crossbody for a casual, daytime look or on the shoulder for a classy, evening look. Perfect for date night. 

A Y2k rendition of the Celine Heart showcases a light tan fur textile with darker tan handles and gold hardware. A chic update of the popular fur mini bags of the era, its classic, neutral tones makes for an easy-to-match accessory that is not too loud, but still unique enough to make a statement.
