Description
A rare find from Celine's Michael Kors era (1997–2004) — a soft, pale butter-yellow linen canvas tote with sculptural pleating detail and structured white leather trim. The standout feature is the harness-style leather strap design: dual straps cross and loop through polished gold-tone rings at the front, secured with logo-embossed medallion snaps, creating a look that reads part equestrian, part architectural. Rounded top handles offer easy hand-carry, while the crossed harness silhouette gives this piece a sculptural presence rare in Celine's linen-canvas totes from this period. A true collector's piece from a defining era in the house's history, before Phoebe Philo's minimalism redefined the brand.
Condition
The white leather straps show some soiling and discoloration throughout, most noticeable along the strap folds and edges where handling wear naturally concentrates. The linen canvas body is clean overall, with soft natural texture and pleating intact. Gold-tone hardware (rings, snaps, logo medallion) remains bright with no notable tarnish. Interior lining is clean with no staining. Celine tag stamp is fully legible and intact.
