Celine Triomphe Bucket Bag: Spring-Summer 2024 Collection

This exquisite Triomphe Bucket Bag from CELINE’s 2024 Spring-Summer collection is crafted from supple light stone-colored calfskin. Featuring a distinctive crescent-shaped opening, its standout design element is the central leather strap adorned with a gleaming gold Triomphe clasp that shines like fine jewelry.

Design Inspiration

Since Hedi Slimane became CELINE’s Creative Director in 2018, the brand has introduced several bucket bag designs. The new Triomphe Mini Bucket Bag draws inspiration from previous iterations while offering fresh elegance.

Bucket bag evolution

The 2019 Fall-Winter collection featured the Bucket 6, inspired by 1970s Parisian street style with its half-moon silhouette and distinctive stirrup-shaped metal clasp, reminiscent of CELINE’s vintage 1980s designs.

The 2022 Fall-Winter collection expanded the Triomphe family with the Triomphe Bucket Bag, featuring an inverted trapezoid silhouette and signature gold Triomphe clasp on a vertical leather handle.

The Iconic Triomphe Clasp

The bag’s most striking feature is its Triomphe clasp – crafted from gold-finished brass with polished surfaces that create a radiant glow.

“Triomphe” (French for “triumph”) references the Arc de Triomphe, with design details that revisit the brand’s heritage. In 1972, founder Céline Vipiana drew inspiration from the chains surrounding the monument, creating the interlocking C Chain Blason motif – precursor to the Triomphe logo.

Light Stone Calfskin

Both interior and exterior feature premium calfskin – lightweight yet durable for comfortable wear.
