CELINE Champions French Riviera in New Collection

Celine unveils its Plein Soleil capsule in the French Riviera, capturing a sense of effortless nonchalance and relaxed charm. The pieces echo the spirit of Saint Tropez, a place where fashion lives leisurely and the rhythm slows down during off-season days.

There’s something beautifully crafted in the way the collection blends natural leather, textile, and wicker—all woven, handmade, or braided with care. You can feel the warmth of earth tones and the sun-faded beauty of blue hues, resembling an off-white beach morning or a walk through Syracuse.

I remember visiting the south coast and spotting a woman in a cotton ensemble, featuring soft stripes and subtle floral motifs—the kind of key looks Celine now masterfully reimagines. Every piece carries a touch of patina, the feeling of being worn under the sun yet still chic.

Whether you’re lounging seaside or walking through Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the Triomphe bag rests easily on the arm, blending in as much as it stands out. With jacket, cardigan, or suede touches, the style moves organically, shifting from city to coast without effort.

You’ll notice braiding, crochet, and even laced edges that give every detail intention. The animations and references nod to iconic French summers, full of style yet never trying too hard—perfect for both well-heeled nights and sunlit days.

Personally, I’m drawn to the denim with delicate woven trims, or the soft skirts that sway with the breeze—proof that fashion doesn’t shout to be heard. Instead, it complements its surroundings, whispering of salt air and luxury.

This isn’t just a summer drop—it’s a mood. A slow, stylish escape wrapped in Celine’s signature elegance and steeped in the feeling of the seaside.
