Okay, so, the Celine 16 bag. Let me tell you, I’ve been eyeing this beauty for a while. I finally took the plunge and got one, and I want to share my whole experience, from start to finish.

First off, I’m a sucker for that quiet luxury vibe, you know? No flashy logos, just pure, sleek design. And Celine? They nail that aesthetic. It’s not about screaming “look at me, I’m expensive!” but more like a whisper of elegance. That’s what drew me to the 16 in the first place.
I started by browsing the Celine website, it’s like a candy store, I’m just looking around, not knowing what to expect. I saw all sorts of beautiful bags and collections such as TRIOMPHE and of course the newest collections. But the 16, it just kept calling my name. I did some digging, read some reviews, and found out that this bag was actually designed by Hedi Slimane on his first day as creative director. Pretty impressive, right?
Decision Time
Now, there are a few versions of the 16. There’s the classic, the soft, and a few others. I went for the Soft 16. It’s a bit more relaxed, a little less structured than the original. Perfect for everyday use, which is what I was looking for.
The Purchase
I decided to buy it directly from the Celine store. The feeling walking into the store was really amazing, you could really see that everything was designed to create a comfortable atmosphere, and the staff was super helpful. They showed me the bag, let me try it on, and answered all my questions.
The Unboxing
Getting home and unboxing it was an experience in itself. The packaging, the dust bag, everything just felt so luxurious. And then, the bag itself. The leather is so soft, the craftsmanship is impeccable, and it just feels so good to hold.

Living with the 16
- First impressions: Love at first sight, truly. It’s even better in person than in pictures.
- Daily use: It’s surprisingly spacious. I can fit my wallet, phone, keys, a small makeup bag, and even a book in there.
- Comfort: It’s comfortable to carry, even when it’s full. The shoulder strap is just the right length.
- Versatility: I’ve worn it with jeans and a t-shirt, and I’ve worn it with a dress. It works with everything. It is indeed a good investment, just like people say about other bags like the Luggage Tote Bag, or the Classic box bag.
Honestly, I’m obsessed. It’s the perfect everyday bag, and it makes me feel put together, even when I’m just running errands. If you’re looking for a high-quality, stylish, and practical bag, I highly recommend the Celine Soft 16. It’s an investment, but in my opinion, it’s totally worth it.
I have been using it for a while now and I’m still in love with it. This bag is a keeper, and I know I’ll be using it for years to come. That’s all I want to share with you guys today!
