The CELINE Spring-Summer 2023 collection introduces the Besace Triomphe Mini Bag, featuring a rounded silhouette and arched handle that create a charming spherical shape. Crafted from soft blush pink calfskin and adorned with a golden Triomphe clasp, this bag exudes delicate femininity.
• Design Details •
The Besace Triomphe Mini Bag is part of CELINE’s SS2023 collection, designed by Creative Director Hedi Slimane. It combines the iconic Triomphe series with a saddle bag shape, resulting in a vintage yet adorable aesthetic.
Measuring 15.5×11.5×5cm, this mini saddle bag features a distinctive rounded contour with a semi-circular flap for a friendly appeal. The structured arched handle adds sophistication whether carried by hand or draped over the wrist.
• Blush Leather & Triomphe Emblem •
This exquisite bag is crafted from blush pink calfskin with a lustrous cream-like texture. The delicate pink hue radiates romantic charm.
The stitching features matching pink thread that complements the leather perfectly for harmonious detailing.
The standout feature is the central Triomphe metal clasp. The polished brass hardware creates flowing golden highlights, resembling an exquisite浮雕 decoration with intricate details.
Triomphe translates to “triumph” in French, inspired by the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. In 1972, founder Céline Vipiana noticed the chain details around the monument during a car breakdown, which inspired the interlocking C letters of the Chain Blason motif – the prototype of the Triomphe emblem.

The Triomphe clasp features a snap button mechanism – simply lift the emblem’s end to open the bag effortlessly.
• Versatile Carrying Options •
In addition to the elegant arched handle, the bag comes with a slender leather strap – also made from blush pink calfskin. The detachable and adjustable design enables shoulder or crossbody carrying styles.
• Storage Capacity •
The interior features a dual-compartment design – a main section for bulkier items and a flat front pocket for cards and tickets, offering both organization and security.
The gold-stamped “CELINE Paris” logo adds a refined finishing touch.
Despite its mini size, the structured silhouette offers surprising capacity. We’ve fit a compact mirror, perfume, lipstick and other essentials – perfect for daily outings when your phone handles everything else and your bag just needs to look fabulous.
• Style Inspiration •
The soft rounded silhouette radiates gentle charm, while the luxurious calfskin adds refinement. The delicate blush hue maximizes the sweetness factor. Perfect for spring outings – picnics, dates, shopping excursions – the Besace Triomphe is simply irresistible.
