Celine opens IFC store with limited-edition bag

Here’s some good news for handbag collectors: To celebrate the opening of its long-awaited store at the IFC Mall, Céline recreated its creative director Phoebe Philo’s classic box-like bag with a “HONG KONG IFC” stamp on the inner lambskin lining.

The special-edition is in burgundy and made of exotic python skin. Not only is the hand-boarding technique worth noting, but also the elegance and timeliness of the design. Limited to 25 pieces, each bag will be exclusively sold at HK$43,500 when the IFC store opens this month.
