Kat, I got mine the same model and same color as well from Harrods London, in my Europe trip in May this year. I love it to bits and use it a lot. Just a small suggestion for u, go get a slim and light weight foldable recycle bag instead of using the original dust bag. I don't have to worry anymore since I bought the foldable recycle bag. I put each in all my leather bags. Hope it helps :)
Thanks for the review and love how you mastered the single hand closure !! I remember your tip to carry a recycle bag for rain 🌧 - glad your bag recovered !!
The bag still looks so good overall after a year. I would have scratched it badly on the 1st day and probably skin myself on the belt buckle 2 weeks in
1-year already! It seems like yesterday since you got it. Just beautiful but wow I would have freaked out too 🙈 For the inside bigger compartment, can you put a thin felt liner/organizer?
I’m sold again, Natalie! I remember getting my mini pochette PLUS the chain from *luxdups* after watching your video on the various ways to wear that bag.
It is so beautiful bag. Time goes really fast,it is already one year. The bag looks still in pristine condition. I’m not careful person, I will scratch very badly. Thank You so much for sharing darling. Have a wonderful weekend dear ❤️
such a good review of the bag thank you!!! it's my dream bag but i don't know if i can handle the care of the bag! maybe i'll just continue to admire from afar
Kat, watching heaps of Celine YT videos because I have thrifted my first ever luxury bag - the Celine vintage Macadam crossbody OMG and it is AMAZING! So trying to learn heaps about Celine and thanks for your update/in-depth review. I have the coated canvas version but is in great preloved condition and thankful to have found it. TFS ❤️🇳🇿
Thank you. Both are beautiful. It just depends which look you prefer. I find the classic more understated but the new triomphe has a modern touch to it. Good luck!
I’ve watched all you video regarding your Box Bag... love love love😘I want to get it and I’ve save money for it. Now i know that Celine is coming for a new size this coming November . I cant wait to see it and get it for my self
👋 Hi!! Do you think the black one would show more wear/scratch than the camel/brown color? I recently started liking boxy shoulder bags after I tried the Gucci Horsebit. And this one is back on my list especially after the twilly tip for the shoulder strap 🤣🤣👍👍 I am gravitating towards the black.... 😊. Thanks!
Hahahaha omg I love the way you stand with the other foot on the thigh 🤣 my sisters and I call it the flamingo pose 😆 love the bag ❤️ I am thinking between this / Dior Montaigne / Hermes constance !
The bag is beautiful and love the compartments. One of my favs fm your collection.😍 I was surprised that the bag could have "water boils". I thought it wuld be waterproof.☹
@@KatL Blistering is common in this type of boxcalf leather if it gets wet, that's why it's advised to wipe off any water if it makes contact. Boxcalf is incredibly fragile. Scratches generally can be buffed out over time, but water damage is irreparable if you're not careful.
Hi there - I just wanted to check in and see how you like this bag after 2 more years. Also i'm debating between this color and the one in black and would like to get this as something to wear everyday and on the plan while travel. Which color would you recommend?
black or this colour will be beautiful! Unfortunately, I sold this bag to a subbie who was looking for this exact model! It was sold out in and prices were high in retail
Great review ... gorgeous bag, have always admired this model. I would have taken things out of the backpack and threw in the bag inside before running under the rain ahhahah. Love the watch always.
Thank you for the informative review! I have one question, after one-year of use, how do you avoid being injured by the hardware on the strap? As you said, the edge is sharp and it's hardly any chance to wear thick coat in Singapore or Malaysia to protect you from the scratching of the hardware...... Thank you : )
@@KatL Found it! An awesome idea which not only protect the skin but also absorb sweat or moisture from the skin and protect the leather strap as well! Thanks : )
Your video is very helpful. I had made up my mind to get the black smooth calfskin (as black is so classic) until I watched your video. I love the camel but worry I might get “tired” of camel sooner than the black. Decisions...
my biggest luxury lessons - always go for the colour that you always to come back too. If black is always the colour that you consider after looking at others, then black is the answer. For me, it was camel. I looked at green, oxblood red and black...and yet, my heart was always fluttering back to camel. I'm glad i did because...coz i know if i took green / oxblood, I'll be bored of it today.
Oh no. I have used a verryyy slightly damp baby wipe to wipe dirt and dust of the bag but I always follow through with a dry micro fiber cloth to soak away extra moisture. If u have discoloration, best to bring it to a professional to check
😍always adore your celine box bag, Kat. when u mentioned about waterproof, is that information come out from celine or u did ur own spray for your bag? like most ppl spray the apple guard.. ehmm i just realized the celine box bag can fit more stuffs that Dior 30 montaigne.. 🥰🥰🥰
Hello, thank you so much for the review! how long did it take for the bumps after the rain to go away? I was caught in rain with Loewe bag with this type of calfskin today and it has bumps all around, so I'm freaking out)
It's really annoying, sometimes, to switch bags frequently. Your Celine Box is still looking brand new. I'm careful with my bags as well but the more i am, the more scratches i get, lol! I suspected my nails or jewelry are causing the scratches. That's a classic and elegant looking bag. Love it! ❤
This is the first time I see the inside of this bag when you hold it up and my eyes bulge! I love how it expand and understand now why people said it holds so much. Back on my wish list it goes. 😁
lol! it's like the pochette metis...the accordian style means it came hold more than it looks. But don't overstuff it! otherwise, it'll be hard to close and heavy!
I never really check out the Pochette Metis either. 😅 I just looked at the seam and guess how it'll look like inside. But I like this Box. Maybe one day. I really like it though. ☺️
Im surprised this bag held up so well!! This shade is so gorgeous and unique. I’ve seen someone carrying a black version of this bag thats full of fingernail scratches all over the front. Maybe its made with a different material, like lambskin vs calfskin in your case.
Bua Chringchaikul it might if you are wearing a silk blouse...yes and no. Yes because it is so easy to use. No because I am trying not to carry such big bags. I think I’ll go for the smaller size
@@KatL agree, and I also put some leather care on the second most worn out part, inside where the smooth leather gets rubbed by the strap. only once in a while. Thank you for your video, I share the love for this bag with you. What was your opinion on multiples of this bag? yes or no?
Im so glad I found this video.. I was looking for a bag that are classic and im debating between this Celine Medium Classic Liege leather and Chanel Coco handle Small in carviar . i still couldn't decide on which I should get , I love both style . Chanel is more common here in Sg tho, one look people know its Chanel + Carviar leather are much durable but I know I kind of graviated more toward Celine bcos of the understatement. My true concern is that what if I like the other one better ... oh God typical me Hahaha. but anyway I love your video , very informative since im also living in Singapore, the tips you provided are so useful and relatable..
I was contemplating buying this bag! I’ll keep the plastic in the bag in case of rain or in my case, snow day.
Great video
absolutely! i usually bring one of the those rolled-up grocery bags, but of all days, i took it out ....face palm!

Clarazeela Z2 yup! And of ALL days, I didn’t have it 😭😭😭😭
The bag still looks so good overall after a year. I would have scratched it badly on the 1st day and probably skin myself on the belt buckle 2 weeks in
Vannify 🤣🤣🤣I thought I would have done the same, but I get the bag is tougher than us 🤣
1-year already! It seems like yesterday since you got it. Just beautiful but wow I would have freaked out too 🙈 For the inside bigger compartment, can you put a thin felt liner/organizer?
FashionablyAMY yup , can. I think I saw samorga making for the pochette metis, this should fit!

Loved the video! I am trying to choose between this bag and the Classique Tromphe. Any suggestions you might have or recommendations?

it's the cartier santos100

I have the same way of usage as you. What bag could you recommend for travel? Bag that could put a lot things, light and stylish. Tks.

Beautiful bag Kat. Do you know if it comes in a mini. Also how did you decide on the color. Thanks
it comes in a size smaller than this. And i picked this because it's neutral and goes with most of my outfits
Great video. Really useful, thanks
Hey Kat, what do you think about the size of this bag on petite body? I'm considering the small as well.
Hi Kat, do you still love and use this bag?
Thx so much for vid, super helpful. What lipstick r u wearing? Thx
thank you! it is glowing jen from Charlotte Tilbury
Love this review!!! So helpful! Do u now use waterproofing product for it?
Nope ! 😍🙈

WEI LIN CHEN watch my Celine video with the tip! I shared how I tied a scarf around the strap
@@KatL Found it! An awesome idea which not only protect the skin but also absorb sweat or moisture from the skin and protect the leather strap as well! Thanks : )
Did you ever find another solution for the strap clasps scratching? Or do you still just use the scarf?
Just the scarf 😅

Ernest Lo yes it does! It is very neutral!
What do you use to clean? I have some oil stain or water marks that caused discoloration.

CinYungLove no one said it was waterproof. I meant, because it looks shiny n water droplet will roll off it, it doesn’t mean it is waterproof. Lol

It took a day … put it under a fan or something to air it.
@@KatL thank you! Mine is ok now, but lesson learnt 😨 I will try to avoid rain with the box calfskin leather as much as I can

Camel 🐫

I KNOW - I'm so surprised too. I'm not the most gentle with my bag and it has held up soooo well!!!
Do you still have it?
Nope, I sold it a while back
I have the exact same bag. I've made too many excuses about scratches. It's time for me to wear her. Thanks for the video
Lola W yes use it!
What size is that bag?
It is the medium (I think ) not the mini
@@KatL great review thank you so much !
Pretty purse.
thank you!
Is that metal on the strap sharp enough to damage your cloth? Would you buy this bag again after using it for 1 year?
Bua Chringchaikul it might if you are wearing a silk blouse...yes and no. Yes because it is so easy to use. No because I am trying not to carry such big bags. I think I’ll go for the smaller size
Glazing needs to conditioning especially side flaps
thank you for the advice!
@@KatL agree, and I also put some leather care on the second most worn out part, inside where the smooth leather gets rubbed by the strap. only once in a while.

there's no leather bags will be waterproofed lol but glad your bag got recovered
Yup, I am thankful it recovered 🤩
Beautiful bag Kat. Reminds me of Hermes Constance hehehe
yes !!! it is does! (but cheaper haha)
I have this bag in black but I used it probably twice this year. The tipping down whenever I open the bag is driving me crazy 😪
ahhhh....it does get annoying when the bag is full. I totally get what you mean!
I would have waited till the rain stop 🤦♀️
