Summer, the Parisian way, arrives with Celine’s Été 2026 collection. Long synonymous with languid days and effortless elegance, the maison once again delivers a lineup that moves seamlessly from city streets to coastal escapes. Think ready-to-wear and accessories punctuated with playful prints, tactile textures and bright bursts of colour. This year, two standout bags capture that spirit of the perfect summer escape.
Firstly, the Large Drop Bucket Bag reimagines the classic bucket silhouette with a more sculptural approach. Tall and gently tapered, its sleek teardrop shape widens at the opening before narrowing towards the base. And because bigger is better for beach days, this chic option measures 57 cm by 45 cm by 20 cm. The generous size holds swimsuits, towels, a beach read and daily essentials with ease.

Inside, the main compartment pairs with a removable zip pouch for added function. Meanwhile, four straps form the handles, gathered neatly by a sliding metallic sphere engraved with the Triomphe signature. Pick either the vibrant red Jacquard C Sulky Textile (SGD4950) version with orange horse carriage detailing or a timeless black Smooth Calfskin (SGD5500) option with multicoloured accents.

For a more textural take, there’s the Triomphe Beads Basket, which makes an equally compelling companion for sun-drenched days. Crafted from sisal raffia and calfskin, it stands out with gold-finish beads along the top of the tote. Each bead, engraved with the Triomphe motif, also double as functional button closures.
Balancing natural ease with polished finesse, the flared silhouette widens at the top with a soft, fanned-out effect. It features two top handles for both hand and shoulder carry, and comes in two sizes. The small (SGD2400), measuring 11 cm by 18.5 cm by 10 cm, features either White or Ultra Blue calfskin details. Meanwhile, the large (SGD3600), at 18 cm by 40 cm by 16.5 cm, comes with Black leather details.
