I completely agree with you regarding the SA at Céline: never was confronted to a standoffish attidude as it can be the case in even some less luxurious stores and always helpful even if you're not buying.

Congrats on your bag!<br /><br />I've always found the sales associates at Celine (in Paris and on Madison Ave here) to be incredibly kind and helpful. They've gone out of their way for me on several occasions.

Haha!...No, the SA were too busy with <i>actual</i> buyers! Haha! But the concept of the asymmetrical bag is brilliant in its practicality. Compared to the other "classic" duffle with an opening on top, access inside the bag is much easier.<br />Since we're in some kind of spring, I've been wearing it quite frequently indeed.

Difficult isn't it, the lesson of delayed gratification? I am curious: did the SA at Céline share why the bag was designed asymmetrically? I am always interested in the reasons behind unique details. Usually the reasons are such a delight! The bag looks like it will be a beautiful addition to your wardrobe. <br />-MissoneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5692740762108343362.post-14179819012086149942013-04-30T10:17:26.342+02:002013-04-30T10:17:26.342+02:00I agree, the cycle of consuming luxury is faster (...I agree, the cycle of consuming luxury is faster (for some) and that's why I keep checking my favorite second-hand spots when I have something in mind. <br />There are good chances to find very recent treasures, maybe not the up and trendy it-thing but an item that one has time to process and determine its worth on a more personal level.<br />I hope you'll find the one you're looking for, it's the Trio isn't it?!Aïssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17200586147804815951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5692740762108343362.post-87370745756291995542013-04-30T10:11:02.803+02:002013-04-30T10:11:02.803+02:00Thank you!
