Celine has quietly revamped its handbag offerings with a new naming convention. While the Triomphe motif remains a cornerstone of the French fashion house, the brand reimagines familiar styles with fresh designations. Something new, however, is the Nino, a contemporary interpretation of Celine’s classic top-handle bag.
Introduced as part of the La Collection De L’Arc De Triomphe fall-winter 2024 collection, the minimalist silhouette boasts a refined allure. If you love a softer touch, then go for the ones in supple calfskin. Otherwise, the versions in patent and shiny leather offer a more rigid structure.

Of course, the Triomphe hardware is a defining feature of the Nino, adding both a hint of heritage and shine. Whether you carry it via the top handle or as a shoulder bag, it effortlessly complements any outfit and mood, from casual daytime chic to refined evening glam.
Measuring 20.5 cm wide and 13 cm high, the Teen Nino (SGD4450) is perfect for those who love smaller proportions. The next size up is the Medium Nino (SGD4950), which comes in at 25 cm by 17.5 cm. Both feature a roomy interior segmented by a central zip compartment to keep your essentials neat.
