Bagz War: BALENCIAGA vs. CELINE

By Ril B/Cil B

BALENCIAGA "lune" tote 
Material: calf skin
           vs.        
CELINE "front flap" tote
 Material: calf skin

The winner is BALENCIAGA! We picked BALENCIAGA, because the "lune" tote successfully derives the inspiration of preppy handbag. This bag has the combination of smart character represented by its structured shape and crisp look and casual attribute portrayed by its soft and slouchy touch on either side. Compared to the "lune", the design of CELINE "front flap" tote seems too conservative and old-fashioned because of the bag's super rigid and stiff figure. 

What's your pick?

  1. I think to be fair this Balenciaga bag needs to be compared with the Celine Boston bag not the front flap model. It is fairer because the Boston bag mimics the shape and material of the lune bag.
