This or That: Celine Triomphe Bag or Gucci Siena Shoulder Bag

Two years ago to the day, my mom and I Celine стильные идеальная посадка max mara maje sandro cos zara h&m to celebrate her 70th birthday. I didn’t know it then, but on that trip, my mom would fall in love with designer bags. In the two years since, her collection has expanded to include a Loewe Puzzle Bag Is Effortlessly Chic in Celine Pants & Strappy Sandals at Milan Fashion Week, Celine s spring 2020 show at Paris Fashion Week, I think if I get a bag it ll be the belted Celine Louis Vuitton Alma.

Her collection also includes a few contemporary bags and an old blush pink Chloé Marcie that my dad bought her during my internship at Chloé. She’s slowly building her collection, averaging around 2 bags a year, and looking at the bags she has to see what she needs.

Most recently, I got a call from her—my favorite kind of call! The one where she’s decided she needs a new designer bag, and this time, she’s on the lookout for a white shoulder bag, all thanks to my coverage last month on Gucci’s new fall arrivals.

Immediately, I Краватка her to look at the Celine Triomphe too, which offers a very similar feel to the Gucci Siena bag, but has proven its staying power. Both bags are similar in shape, offer a flap closure, and are defined by bold gold hardware. Similar, but different. Let’s get into it!

The iconic Celine Triomphe logo, revived by Hedi Slimane when he took over Celine’s helm, is one of the brand’s most important motifs. Though the motif had not been used in some time, one of Slimane’s biggest (and earliest) decisions was to bring back the storied logo.

The Triomphe made its debut at Celine’s Жилетка жіноча брендова в стилі celine, marking Slimane’s runway debut. Rooted in Parisian history, the logo, which contains double links forming two Cs, is inspired by the Arc de Triomphe and dates back to Celine’s early days. The bold logo was introduced as the finishing touch to a classic Celine silhouette: the boxed bag.

The Celine Triomphe was born, quickly becoming a new House icon, and it remains an integral part of the Celine family, proving its staying power. The teen size retails for $4,250 and has overall dimensions of 8.7″ x 6.1″ x 2.4″. It’s lined in lambskin, has three inner compartments, and has an adjustable shoulder strap.

Next, CELINE Saszetki nerki Gucci Siena, which is defined by its half-Horsebit hardware. A Gucci brand signifier for over 70 years, the half-Horsebit Куртка пуховик жилетка в стилі celine пух комплект.

It first debuted in the 1970s and was widely used again throughout the 2000s, on bags, shoes, and more. This season, the half Horsebit takes center stage once again—the focal point of the new Siena bag. Debuting as part of the Fall 2025 collection, Celine WOMEN BAGS BELT BAGS.

Its interior is very similar to the Triomphe’s, featuring 3 compartments; it is also lined in leather. The Siena has overall dimensions of 8.9″ x 5.5″ x 3.1, making it comparable in size to the classic Triomphe. Its strap allows for short or long shoulder wear, as well as crossbody wear.

How Do They Stack Up?

Similar in style, color, size, and even price (though the Celine is $300 more), it really comes down to preference, and truthfully, I would recommend either of the bags. The major key difference is that the Gucci Siena is brand new this season, while the Celine Triomphe bolso cabas celine big bag modelo mediano en cuero color burdeos.

Another difference is that the Gucci Siena can be shortened due to the strap’s construction. Truthfully, I don’t like straps constructed this way, looping through hardware on the top of the bag. I prefer the construction of the Celine Triomphe, which just so happens to be one of my all-time favorite logos.
