Celine was started in 1945 as a children shoe business on the left bank of Paris. Although these were humble beginnings, this little shoe business expanded during the 1960s into a luxury brand. Celine started creating adult footwear, handbags, women’s ready-to-wear clothing, men’s ties and sportswear, and soon gained popularity with the fashionistas of France and Europe.
Celine brand became a world-wide fashion favorite when they opened up distribution in Japan and continued expansion of their brand with stores in Monte Carlo, Geneva, Hong Kong and Rome. Celine designs are synonymous with quintessential Parisian style and easy, wearable pieces that are comfortable.
The success of Celine collections started with the vision of creator Madame Celine Vipiana, who took this small family run business and turned it into a world-wide fashion darling. Vipiana is a Polish-born, French implant who made shoes for the children of wealthy Parisians. She realized once these little tykes grew up, they were still demanding her services and so the house of Celine came into being. Since Madame Vipiana’s retirement, a number of well-known designers have taken the helm at Celine, most notably Michael Kors, who was head designer from 1997 until 2004. The hallmark of Celine style has always been comfortable materials, mixed with modern elegance for men and woman and high-end wearable separates.
