A gold-tone push-lock clasp, engraved with Céline’s horse-drawn carriage motif, secures
the smooth black leather exterior of this bifold wallet—its crisp lines and
slender silhouette make it ideal for carrying in the hand or with the flap open. The front bears the
“CÉLINE PARIS” heat stamp in serif gold, accented with a marked “é,” while the
corners show subtle scuffing and fine surface scratches from use.

Inside, two main compartments and a pair of slip pockets are lined in matching
black leather. The absence of serial or sizing marks, along with the carriage
clasp and stamped label, date this to the late 1970s–1980s, a period when Céline
Vipiana’s vision for the house was equestrian elegance without
ostentation—leather goods designed for women who drove themselves through Paris.
