The Céline Trapeze, created under Phoebe Philo, is one of the defining designs of the 2010s. No longer in production, it is instantly recognizable for its sharp structure, bold color contrasts and winged silhouette that still feels ahead of its time. Its “wings” make it unique: fold them in for a compact, refined look or open them out for extra volume and a different mood. This versatility makes the Trapeze both practical and striking.
Crafted entirely from smooth calfskin, the bag has aged beautifully. It is not yet vintage, but it already carries the aura of a future collectible. Spacious and architectural, it also anticipates the return of larger bags as a lasting trend.
The Trapeze has long been admired not only by celebrities but by models off duty, which speaks to its effortless, fashion-forward appeal. In 2025 it feels more relevant than ever, blending the quiet strength of Y2K style with timeless minimalism and standing as a true cult piece from Phoebe Philo’s celebrated era at Céline.
