Phoebe Philo’s 1st Bag Collection for Céline, No Paddington-Level “ITs”?

Former IT-maker and the designer who propelled Chloé into fashionista-fame, disappointedly went light on the handbags for her 1st collection at her new brand, Céline.

The collection’s purses are not all duds, but I don’t think any one of them is a must-have or even really, fabulously design-droolworthy. I’m not expecting outrageously oversized elements, but this range feels actually under-designed.

We wonder how the leather is, with bags made with sturdy structures and python prints, we aren’t holding our breath to run and touch at Neiman’s.

But your vote counts! What do you think? IT, $h-t, or Forgittable?
