CELINE 16 REVIEW & FIRST IMPRESSIONS - Pros & Cons, Do I recommend? What Fits?

[@ruthmclean5116]

Hi Mary! My brand new Celine 16 arrived this afternoon! I love it so freakin much! The smell of the leather is amazing, almost like a deep cherry or almond extract scent. There is nothing I don’t love about this bag except that the strap is not adjustable. I saw on another Vlog that it was not really Celine’s intention for this bag to be worn crossbody so they deliberately made the strap non-adjustable. They want women to wear it as either a shoulder bag or to carry it using the top handle. The Vlog went on to say that women won’t buy a bag in this day and age if it doesn’t include a crossbody strap so they had no choice but to include one. Interesting take on it. I truly believe this is a bag that will become a classic for years to come. With the 60’s shape and design, it already looks iconic. I am so happy with my new bag, even though I might be eating Raman noodles for the rest of my life! 😁

Huge Congrats Ruth🙌 Ohh interesting point about Celine's strap but I can see why. I hope it becomes a classic for the brand, but even if it doesn't I love the iykyk aspect of it. I think there is something cool about wearing something where the beauty and design of the bag can speak for itself. But I have noticed more people talking about this bag on social media. Thank you so much for watching and sharing❤

Do you find your bag heavy when filled in with stuff?

[@ruthmclean5116]

@@ellyindigorainIt’s not heavy at all, quite the contrary, it’s actually quite light. The leather is phenomenal and you can just tell it’s well made. I carry it either as a shoulder bag or handheld and it feels light as a feather. 😊

Love Celine 16 bag so much. It is in my radar. Only con for me is internal divide. Yes, it is very expensive. Hope they come out more type of leather. Great review Mary. Congratulations for 10K. You did awesome job 💕

[@MarysRoom]

Thank you so much Irene. Yes it definitely limits the capacity. Thank you for watching💕 💕

[@stylestrategywithdee]

My style is very feminine and elegant, so this bag has been on my list for some time! Good review ❤

[@jonaahthan]

Love the dinosaurs in the bag. The Celine 16 carries all.

[@MarysRoom]

Haha yes!!💕

[@margaretfederal7378]

It looks fantastic on you/your frame. Does it come in a larger size?

[@MarysRoom]

Yes this is the small size. There is a medium or "classique" size and it comes in a soft tote version. Thank you you watching Margaret💕

[@Indiana_Girl757]

Hi Mary. Great review of this bag. The structure (a little bit) reminds me of the D&G Sicily bag which I love, and does not the middle piece. Thank you for this review. XO

[@MarysRoom]

Ohh yes! I see it. That design always came out in the prettiest prints and love the versatility. Thank you for watching💕

[@Uno.minimalist]

Hedi is a master of his craft, just got Wyatt Boots & can really appreciate the design thinking ! Good vid - you have good taste !!

[@MarysRoom]

Much appreciated!

[@irenelacson3636]

I bought this bag this year and I love it. Very classic.

[@MarysRoom]

It's a beautiful bag❤

[@ApplesThatRead]

First saw this bag on Angelina and Lady Gaga, looks fabulous on you and so good on your overall body size 💕 Personally, I need it in that green exotic

[@MarysRoom]

Ohh yes! I love their exotics💕 💕

[@KKDCA]

The green lizard is amazing. I’ve seen one in honolulu ala moana just today .

[@DonaLeopoldina-dr4so]

Hello Mary I hope you are well. I was away for 2 months and saw all your videos but could not sign in. I don’t know why. That is the reason you did not see any comments from me. Did you see the new Navy Margaux bag today at Net a Porter? Beautiful. I also love this bag but as I mentioned before, I only intent to buy shoulder bags but the Navy is a dream.

[@MarysRoom]

Ohh no worries! Just checking it out and navy is a dream! The Row Margaux is at the top of the list because I'm in need of an updated work bag. I'm thinking holding out (for now) until the Phoebe Philo collection is released, what she drops will help me decide. Thank you so much for letting me know Dona❤

[@juliachen915]

Thanks for the review! Can you please share what color is your celine 16? Is this the safari color or trench?

[@MarysRoom]

It is the Safari colour. Thank you for watching❤

[@asq4867]

Love this bag, I think if I were to get it I would get it in the mini/smaller size. I do love the lack of obvious branding on it too

[@MarysRoom]

Yes I'm contemplating on getting a mini size as well. Thank you so much for watching💕

[@xoxjelloxox]

Do you have the mini or small

[@dinavienna]

I feel what you say it looked mature and corporate 4 years ago but looks so nice worn now with just a feminine dress almost boho dress (Angelina ) is spot on - you know why ? We’ve been through a major top handle phase. Bags hand held by a handle were not a thing until the past 2-3 years. More of a 50s or 60s look hence mature before. Now it’s an actual bag trend that’s why it looks good to us worn casual too

[@MarysRoom]

Definitely! I think it's so timeless and even if the trends lean in a different direction or more casual, there is something about this style that will still be relevant. Thank you for watching❤

[@KKDCA]

I’m 5ft . Kind of long to me but I love this bag . It’s beautiful in satiated calfskin black in gold hardware . It looks very expensive . And I can fit loads of stuffs lol

[@MarysRoom]

It's a great bag❤ Thank you for watching❤

[@-AutumHall]

Hello! How is the wear and tear on this bag?

[@raemana7193]

Hi ! Which color is your bag ?

[@Ann-e-97]

Im about to have a trip to paris and so torn between the triomphe bag in teen size or the mini 16. Both bags are my dream bag right now but urgh….. they are so expensive

[@MarysRoom]

Have a wonderful trip! It's a dream of mine to go to Paris and buy a Celine bag there. Yes they are a pretty penny but definitely will be better priced there than anywhere else. Thank you so much for watching💕

[@KKDCA]

I was torn too !!! But I fell for the 16 when I have seen it . Some people say it looks like something an older woman would use but I disagree. I wear it with jeans and shorts , it looks very trendy

[@VOLUMEnightclub]

Random question, but is the lock and key actually useable like the Kelly…the hardware doesn’t seem to have a hole?

[@KKDCA]

Hiya , it’s not meant to be used as lock outside , they said it’s for the interior zipped compartment to secure valuables , there’s a hook in there to put the padlock on .

[@Jaynelane8797]

Did you just buy this bag from 24S? It’s been on my wishlist on there for a while and I noticed it’s now sold out. I think you bought my bag! Lol 😢

[@MarysRoom]

I purchased this from fashionphile

[@Jaynelane8797]

@@MarysRoom ahh ok, 🙂 well someone else has purchased my bag. lol. Either way I'm sad about it but I can't wait for new colors in this size. They keep making so many variations of the mini - I'm like what about the small guys??!! haha This is my favorite bag from Celine.

[@blake1001x]

You look like the Ytber Jamila Musayeva 😊

[@MarysRoom]

Ohh wow! What a compliment! Thank you for watching🙏

[@vanessalowe3819]

Last for only two years? I don't purchase according to trends dear. SMH....they'll love you.
