Bidspirit auction | A Trio of Celine Paris
A Trio of Celine Paris Cotton Handkerchiefs - Celine Paris trio of cotton handkerchiefs produced by Kawabe Co., Ltd. in Japan. The set features printed designs including a fuchsia chain motif, a red ribbon and Alpine scene, and a pink Macadam logo pattern with gold-tone horsebit hardware graphics. Each piece is constructed from 100% cotton with machine-stitched hems. Dimensions: 13.5 cm x 13.5 cm (folded). Celine was founded in Paris in 1945 and operated as a leather goods and accessories house before adding ready-to-wear. The vintage Celine Paris label, used prior to the house's creative direction changes in the 2010s, appears on many handkerchiefs, scarves, and small leather goods from the 1970s through the 1990s. Designer handkerchiefs were produced in significant quantities by European fashion houses through the mid-20th century as an accessible accessory category, and surviving examples in good condition are now collected for their printed designs and archival reference value.
