COMING SOON: Celine has relaunched its e-commerce site, but ready-to-wear is not yet part of the assortment.
The site, overseen by creative director Hedi Slimane, marks the brand’s entry into online selling in the U.S., after its launch in France, Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom beginning in December. Apple Pay will be added to the payment methods offered on the U.S. web site as an exclusive.
The revamped celine.com site features a selection of leather goods, small leather goods, jewelry and sunglasses from the current collection, alongside items from the spring collection, which are billed as “coming soon.” Rtw will be added at a later stage, a spokesman for the brand said.
Handbag styles available for immediate order include the medium Classic bag in box calfskin, priced $4,400, and the mini Luggage in drummed calfskin at $3,100. The black version of the 16, Slimane’s first handbag design unveiled by Lady Gaga on Instagram on Aug. 30, is listed as available for preorder from Oct. 22 priced $4,550.
