Product Description:
A highly rare runway piece from Celine’s 2001 collection, featuring an iconic ammo-inspired strap construction that embodies early 2000s utilitarian and militant aesthetics.
Crafted from richly textured distressed leather, the bag showcases a naturally aged patina that enhances its raw, worn-in character — a deliberate design language of the era. The standout feature is the sculptural bullet-style strap detail, resembling an ammunition belt, merging fashion with industrial and subcultural references.
Finished with adjustable buckle closure, engraved hardware, and a substantial brass logo tag, this piece reflects a bold and experimental phase of Celine before the Phoebe Philo era — making it particularly desirable among archive collectors.
The interior is lined with signature monogram fabric and offers practical storage while maintaining a sleek crossbody silhouette.
An exceptionally hard-to-find collector’s item that sits at the intersection of fashion, object design, and cultural statement — ideal for collectors, stylists, or those building a serious archive wardrobe.
