Celine Multi-Strand Necklaces

French

Now renowned for chic womenswear as well as luxury leather handbags that are often recognized for their iconic gold-tone fastening and hardware, French fashion house Celine got its start in children’s shoes.

In 1945, Céline Vipiana and her husband, Richard, opened a made-to-measure shoe shop for children at 52 rue de Malte in Paris. Designer Céline’s name graced the business, alongside a red elephant designed by French cartoonist Raymond Peynet that served as the company’s first logo.

In 1967, following an expansion into women’s shoes and leather accessories, the Vipianas decided to expand their company’s reach into women’s ready-to-wear, focusing on high-end sportswear. Céline Vipiana, who remained chief designer until her death in 1997, would oversee a range of fashion that would reach an international audience with a pared-down elegance and timeless style.

The company quickly achieved widespread success with its new offerings, most notably its trench coat, which became a staple for the brand. In the 1970s, they expanded outside Paris with boutiques in Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills and Hong Kong. In 1973, Céline Vipiana, inspired by chain links around the Arc de Triomphe, debuted the Blazon Chaîne motif of interlocking C’s. She began using it on a printed canvas and branding as well as accents on accessories, such as the Triomphe bag.

Vipiana’s designs were created to appeal as everyday fashion: Celine skirts, suits, fitted shirts, vests and coats were stylish but rooted in practicality. Quality, too, was paramount; Vipiana’s determination to deliver the best possible leather led to the opening of a studio in Florence, where the brand created its leather goods.

Vipiana died a year after her brand was acquired by Bernard Arnault’s luxury conglomerate LVMH for about $540 million. American designer Michael Kors then took the helm as creative director. Kors, too, was known for practical but chic ready-to-wear. He introduced such luxury staples as cashmere sets, smartly tailored pants and simple slip dresses, plus themed collections around jet-setter locales like Monte Carlo and Tahiti. Following Kors’s departure in 2004, onetime Burberry designer Roberto Menichetti took the job for just a year. He was followed by designer Phoebe Philo, the young British designer who is now credited with establishing Celine’s 21st-century style.

Philo created a distinct, minimal style that channeled the brand’s roots of practical simplicity with luxury materials. (“I just thought I’d clean it up,” she quipped of her debut collection in 2010.) Over the course of ten years, Philo turned the company into a beloved fixture of the fashion industry. In 2018, after Philo’s departure, the house tapped Hedi Slimane, former creative director of Yves Saint Laurent, as its new leader; he caused a stir when he famously removed the accent from the brand name. Controversial though it was, Slimane maintained it was a return to the label’s roots: an exercise in strong simplicity.

Vintage NICHOLAS VARNEY Green Beryl Gemstone Two Strand Baroque Pearl Necklace

By Nicholas Varney

Located in Kingersheim, Alsace

Measurements: Green Beryl Gemstone: 1.02 inches (2.6 cm) Large Pearl Diameter: 0.62 inch (1.6 cm) Small Pearl Diameter: 0.39 inch (1 cm) Height Drop: 1.10 inches (2.8 cm) Wearable Length: 17.91 inches (45.5 cm) A sumptuous assemblage of lustrous, oversized, baroque pearls with a magnificent and weighty gemstone at the clasp. Hardware is 18K Gold. Nicolas Varney kindly wrote us with the following explanation: "[It] was an early piece. It's one of 2. That clasp would probably be green beryl, if I remember correctly. It's a piece that I enjoyed making. It took me further in a direction I liked." Green beryl is a pale form of the noble precious stone, the emerald. ______________________________________________________________________ Nicolas Varney's credo could not be more simple or direct: "Jewelry is one of the most expressive ornaments that a woman can wear" With a philosophy that goes directly to the heart of his discipline and a crystal-clear vision, Varney is widely recognized today as one of fashion's most eloquent creators. A graduate of the Gemological Institute of America in Vicenza, Italy, Varney opened a studio in New York. Carleton V...

    To tell what year your Celine bag is, look inside for the date code. You may find it embossed directly on the lining or displayed on a tag sewn into the lining. The code will consist of three sets of numerals separated by hyphens. With most bags, the first and third digits refer to the week of production, and the second and fourth numbers tell you the year of production. For example, 1135 would appear on a bag made the 13th week of 2015. With some older bags, the date code is in sequential order, with the first two digits corresponding to the week and the final two representing the year. Find a range of Celine bags on 1stDibs.
