- Hey y'all, I'm Candace.
Welcome, and today I'll be doing my dream bag,
unboxing from Celine.
Now, if you follow me on here,
if you're subscribed, already, know me,
probably wondering what the hell this is.
Because dream bag and,
yes, I did have a Celine bag on my wishlist,
but that was something more,
you know, that really, really.
(phone bing)
(sighs)
Lets just get this box out of here, okay?
This is seriously my dream bag.
I have been looking for a bag like this forever.
Get that out of the way.
It's a big box.
It is a bag.
Oh my gosh.
- I'm so happy.
- I know.
- So I have my paperwork here, and everything.
We will get to that. I'm so stoked.
So this was actually purchased from Celine online,
in Europe, in the European Union.
Believe it came somewhere in the United Kingdom.
Okay, so the box is a lot bigger than the actual bag.
If anybody thinks they know what this is,
leave it in the comments below.
I'm curious to see what y'all think.
Just press pause, okay?
While you do that, don't cheat.
But in case you don't feel like doing all of that.
Oh my gosh.
Oh.
This is a true unbox since my first time seeing it.
Oh my God, it feels amazing. I'm like,
I'm like doing this.
(clicking tongue)
- Nice.
Okay. I won't make y'all wait any longer,
I'm sorry, I'm just so excited.
Oh my gosh.
Shut up.
Oh my gosh.
If y'all know anything about me,
if you follow me on Instagram,
camouflage is my print, okay?
It is my absolute favorite. I love everything about it.
I have no idea how I missed this.
(sighs)
Okay.
This is the Mini Vertical
Cabas,
in canvas with camouflage, and Celine print in khaki.
I mean, there's only one camouflage print.
It's just the name they call it,
that they have on the website.
It is the cutest tote. It is the perfect size.
Oh my god.
See?
Okay, I haven't seen this exact bag.
I've seen this bag in a different print.
I will insert it. I've seen it all over YouTube.
I see why people, was so in love with this bag, now.
It's constructed really nicely.
Like, the stitch in it's perfect.
I mean, I wouldn't expect anything less.
This retails for $1300, okay?
Second of all, that price point, for this size,
and for this type of mobility and stretchability.
Longer strap for a cross body, obviously,
but also the strap is not removable.
However, you can easily tuck it in here to hide it.
And you wouldn't even know it had a longer strap.
So that's the beauty of it.
You can hide your strap securely in there.
So I don't really care that you can't take them off.
It would be nice, but.
Actually, you can take them off.
There's a little snap here.
You remove that, unsnap it, unhook it.
- What?
- Okay.
So I sense, a comparison between
the Cabas tote,
and the petite Sac Plat,
please let me know if you'd be interested in that.
I would love to hear it, if you are.
Because that's already a pro,
but I won't get too much into that.
I'm going to show you some styling ideas for this,
because I had been dreaming of having a bag like this.
Yes, I have the Dior saddlebag in camouflage,
that is not actual camouflage print.
This is camouflage print. It feels so smooth.
And with camouflage, it's easier to wear,
than you think. I will show you, trust me.
It's a neutral, basically.
Think of it as black, or white, or brown. Okay?
It is a neutral. White is a neutral okay.
So a quick review, an overview, of what I see already.
Number one, the straps for this are longer,
but they still don't go all the way down.
So you can't really do it in--
You can do in the curve of your arm,
You have to just slide it down a little extra.
So it's doable and it's still comfortable if you do that.
Okay. So maybe you can slide it down, JK.
So, the ways to wear it,
you can wear it in the crook of your arm.
You can wear it cross body, you can do a top handle.
So versatility pros:
It's very roomy, it holds a lot.
And in case you're wondering,
let me just show you what it holds.
I have a handful of items here.
These are my necessities.
You can feel free to include what you want in here,
but I'm going to show you what fits.
So we're going to move this long strap out of the way.
This is how roomy it is. Oops.
This is how roomy is, on the inside.
I don't think I showed y'all.
I guess there's like a care card.
Very roomy and it's also very flexible.
Okay. So first things first,
I have this Mini Pochette from Louis Vuitton,
and I may bring.
I'm just going to slide some necessities.
This is just some lip balm, a lip product,
and my hand cream.
I'll put some, put my hand wipes in there too.
My sanitizing wipes.
So there's that. Let's see if this fits in here.
It absolutely does with ease.
And we're left with that amount of space.
For my keys, I've been carrying my Pochette clay,
from Louis Vuitton. This is from the men's line.
And I've been just putting my key on the outside.
It fits on inside, but I have my cards in here,
like my credit cards. That fits with ease as well.
And I still have a good bit of space.
11 Pro Max, y'all know this.
Let's put it in front. There we go.
And it doesn't stand up, I mean it stands up,
but it doesn't come over the top of the bag.
It fits in there nice and securely, you can't see it.
And on the side, you know, you could put a hand sanitizer,
if you don't use wipes.
You know?
What else could you put in there?
A big bottle of lotion, some fragrance,
some face mist, some sunscreen.
Like, this bag holds a lot.
That's what I'm trying to say.
It's very, it's not super stretchy,
but it's very flexible. It's not stiff, okay?
You have a lot of room.
And also, you know, your sides don't come out,
when you put all that stuff in there.
I'm just so in love with this. Oh my Gosh.
I'm so in love with it.
Okay, so. Another pro is you can fit a lot in there.
So let's recap, I showed you what fits in all of that,
and you can fit whatever.
And remember you can put tons of stuff,
in the mini pochette.
So that's another added bonus.
Gum, whatever you need to. Okay.
So let's recap our pros quickly.
Pros, you can wear in numerous ways.
You can fit a lot in there.
And I love the fact that, this is not Vachette leather,
so it's not going to tarnish, or not tarnish,
but it's not going to stain, or darken over time.
Also it's very reasonable, reasonably priced.
(laughter)
- A little, nice.
(laughter)
It's very unique.
I haven't seen many people talk about this,
nor have I seen it in too many places.
You can style it in a number of ways.
I'm going to get to that,
closer to the end of the video,
we're getting there, I promise.
Just want to make sure I be thorough about this.
Another pro, is that you can remove the straps.
So that's another added bonus.
If you just want to carry as a tote.
You don't have any room to store your straps in the bag?
They can be removed, and don't think it's adjustable,
unless you add like an additional hole, into your strap.
So that could be a con, and that will lead into my cons.
So another con, I'm not really a fan of this fabric.
It's not fabric, I mean, it's fabric,
but I don't know if it would be easy to clean,
and I don't want to test it out,
to see if it'll be easy to clean.
I don't know. I'm concerned about that.
It might be easy to wipe down,
but it is not like microfiber line, or anything like that.
So I'd be concerned about spilling things.
So I'll be sure if I were you,
put your, put something like a mini pochette,
it doesn't have to be a Louis Vuitton one.
Anything that will hold your liquids,
rather than just dumping them straight into the bag,
because it's kind of risky.
Another con, I'll be honest,
I really can't think of any, right now.
I'll have to do a review down the line,
like after six months, after a year,
or something to tell y'all how I still feel about it.
But right now I'm just obsessed, okay?
This is truly my dream bag.
I've been wanting a camo bag, forever.
I saw Caitlin Pawlowski, and all her videos.
She films these videos, and she has like,
a camouflage Saint Laurent bag behind it,
and I'm like, how the hell did I miss that one too?
But to be fair, I feel like that one came out,
before I got into luxury.
This is even better, okay? I'm obsessed.
Celine is super underrated, in my opinion.
They've had some popular styles come out, okay?
They used to be very popular.
And now they're just slept on,
and this bag is just such.
(applause)
Also, over the quickly mentioned, I just found this out.
It also holds Louis Vuitton medium agenda.
You just have to take the straps out.
You can't tuck them in or anything,
but it fits comfortably, I mean.
Oops. The strap was in the way.
It does sit comfortably,
and it doesn't stick out or anything.
Now, if you want to carry your agenda in here,
I will take, or use something like a key pouch,
put your cards in. You can do a card holder,
but just realize, you know,
you might not be able to do both.
So I'm going to slide this in the back,
and my key,
it goes along the top nicely.
And then that's probably all I'll put in here.
I can fit some wipes in here too.
That's the beauty of using hand wipes,
rather than hand sanitizer.
You can squeeze those in small spaces.
Okay?
Believe I could fit a lip product on here too.
I'm kind of pushing it now,
but I'm going to put a couple of hand wipes,
those easily slide in there, if they're flat.
My lip product, I'm not wearing this one today,
like I mentioned, but you know,
still a lip product that goes in here nicely,
and then a hand cream.
Can we please squeeze that in there? We can.
So like I was telling y'all, it's super flexible.
You can fit a lot in here,
and it doesn't look extremely crazy inside.
I mean, yes, it's wider.
We have, I can take your hand cream out.
We have a fricking planner in here.
Okay. So even if I take the hand cream out,
it sticks out a little bit,
but it's still not crazy bulky or anything.
So that's good to know.
If you want to be able to carry your planner in your bag,
you can do that with this one.
Let's get into four looks,
that I have to share with you,
showing how I would style this,
and how I will be styling this.
So this first outfit is a simple,
mock neck white tank, along with some khaki joggers,
the blouse was from the store called Molkey,
but I'll have everything linked below, don't worry.
I'll have similarities if you can't find anything similar,
but believe it or not, the joggers are from Amazon.
And I'm pairing them with these Balenciaga sneakers,
pop of color as y'all should know, by now.
And these orange ones are some new ones,
that I've recently picked up.
I know I can't stop. I love Triple S sneakers.
But this is a nice laid back look.
A way to dress down the bag,
and still have it be kinda the star with the shoes,
but you know, you could definitely wear black shoes,
if you don't want to do that.
Look number two, is a bit more elevated.
I start off with a double buttoned,
or double breasted blazer, with my Fendi shorts,
and I'm styling with my black, Balenciaga triple S sneakers.
Now, I wore closed for this,
but I'm going to show you, whoops,
I'm going to show you how it looks open as well.
But this is just slightly dressed,
but still dressed down, you know,
kind of a mix as you feminine, okay?
Totally my vibe. I absolutely love how this turned out.
Also, my dog is knocked out.
If you look to the left of me,
you might see him moving around, okay?
He's always somewhere in frame, okay.
You can usually find him somewhere,
but this is what it looks like, you know,
buttoned up and everything.
And then I will also show you what it looks like open.
So for the opened up version,
I decided to pair it with a tube top,
to show a little tummy, you know what I mean?
But it's still very casual.
It makes it a lot more casual, with the blazer being open,
in my opinion, but yeah.
It's kind of like, this still my second look, okay?
I'm not going to cheat and make it three.
It's literally the same outfit.
Third outfit, I've been loving these neon blouses.
I will link it below of course, but oh my gosh.
The camera's not picking it up.
It is extremely neon pink, right up my alley.
I'm pairing it with some good American shorts,
and some Fenty by Rihanna, Puma kicks.
And these are nude.
And I thought that those shoes would be perfect,
because, you know.
To keep along with the theme of the bag being in neutral,
I also wanted just the shirt, you know,
to be the pop of color.
Now, this is more of a laid back look, super casual.
You know, you could rock a top handle.
You could wear it cross body.
No matter how you want to wear it, you know.
It is still a star of the look.
Although, I'm wearing a neon shirt,
it still stands out on his own.
On it's own. Why can't I talk?
Super cute.
Now, another alternative you could do with this look,
is you could wear, you know, a more neutral blouse.
It just depends on your comfort level.
I just want to give you all an option to show you,
that you don't have to stick to neutrals with this bag.
You could definitely wear pop of color, wear pops of color,
and still have the bag look absolutely amazing,
in my opinion.
I'm just showing you the versatility of it,
and the different ways you could wear it,
if I was out and about, of course,
I would probably be doing a cross body,
but just wanted to show you, your options.
And last, but certainly not least, my final look.
I decided to go neutral for the blouse,
the same exact brand of the shirt,
that I just showed you that was pink,
and I paired it with the cutest orange skater skirt.
Again, colors not picking up on camera.
It's super bright. I love my neon, okay?
I'm pairing this with some simple Adidas Superstar sneakers,
almost forgot the name of these.
Everybody basically has these.
So I wanted to do something that could easily be replicated.
So with this, I did the pop of color on the skirt.
Again, you could do denim, if you want to do a denim skirt,
denim shorts, denim jeans, you know,
you don't have to exactly copy these looks.
You can just merely use them as inspiration.
And this is probably my favorite look out of all.
This is more than likely how I will wear it first,
you know, to go out. But I absolutely love it.
And the bag still looks amazing with it, in my opinion.
I love it.
And again, here it is cross body.
That is like my go-to.
I try to experiment wearing it in other ways,
but I always go back to cross body.
I always go back to cross body.
It's like my favorite way to wear a bag.
And it usually determines if I buy a bag or not.
If I can do that, if I can't, we got problems, sis.
I hope you all enjoy my unboxing,
of my dream bag from Celine.
I know when people say dream bag,
they think Hermès, they think Chanel, you know.
But, this is my dream bag, okay?
I feel like everybody's dream bag is different.
It doesn't have to be, you know, repetitive,
like everybody else's.
Y'all know me, my A 'bout to be okay.
It's going to be my dream bag, and this is mine.
I love camouflage, okay.
It's my favorite print.
People like that Leopard, the animal prints.
I like camo, okay? I always have.
I was able to get it through a personal shopper.
I did not get it online, it's sold out online,
so I had to use a personal shopper.
I even went into the store, here,
and they're like "oh, that came out last year."
And I'm like "what you mean 'that came out last year.'
They still got stuff in here,
that came out years before that."
I ain't saying it, but I'm saying it.
Like, dude is just looking at me like,
not even trying to help.
I was like "Okay, okay, cool.
I will take my coins elsewhere."
And that's basically what I did.
I didn't pay too much more over retail for this.
So I was very impressed.
Although, I would have splurged a little extra,
just because it's camo and just because,
I've been on the hunt for camo bag,
for forever, and this one is absolutely perfect.
So yeah, again, please let me know,
if you would like me to compare it,
with the petite sac plat.
They're pretty similar in structure,
pretty similar in general with its features.
I'd love to do one, and I'll probably do one anyway.
Why not?
I will leave a similar video here.
Guess I'll leave my petite sac plat video there.
In case you haven't checked it out.
It was for months, well, not that long ago.
I just started on here, when? November of 2020.
But it's kind of embarrassing.
It's kinda my old way of filming, but yeah,
I'll link it anyway.
Talk soon.
- Laughter.
- Yes.
Talk to you guys soon. Thanks for watching.
That was so fake. Hold on.
Talk soon. Thanks for watching. That's better.
Video's there.
My outros ****.
I'll leave a similar video here in case you missed it.
Talk soon. Thanks for watching.
(upbeat music)
