Celine
Uncompromising validation of Celine authenticity, backed by years of operational expertise.
A Brief History of Celine
Celine was founded in 1945 by Céline Vipiana as a made-to-measure children’s shoe business before expanding into women’s footwear, ready-to-wear, and leather goods. The brand became known for clean lines, Parisian minimalism, and luxury essentials.
Under Phoebe Philo (2008–2018), Celine transformed into a global fashion powerhouse with an emphasis on understated elegance and architectural silhouettes. In 2018, Hedi Slimane took over as creative director, rebranding the house with a more modern, rock-inspired identity while maintaining high standards of leather craftsmanship. Today, with Michael Rider, Celine remains one of the most sought-after brands in luxury fashion.
