Song Hye Kyo (Celine “Miss Song�? Bag) is coming to America!
Back in July Bag Bliss revealed the news and sparked the interest of many Celine enthusiasts that a new Celine bag designed by Korean Actress Song Hye Kyo, called the “Miss Song,�? was expected to be released this fall, but sadly reported only in Asia. Since the news broke the label noticed that the new limited edition bag (which basically looks like Celine’s Bittersweet purse) also sparked interest in Europe as well as in the US (well duh), so have decided to release a limited number of purses to the Celine boutiques around the world.

Keep an eye out. This L.E. newbie should be arriving on store shelves soon…

side note: Song Hye Kyo is the first Korean star to have an international designer bag named after her. Congrats.

Song Hye Kyo and the Celine “Miss Song�? Limited Edition Bag
A couple days ago an event was thrown at a Haute Couture fashion show in Hong Kong in honor of the recent release of the Celine “Miss Song�? bag named after South Korean actress Song Hye Kyo.

Celine’s artistic director, Ivana Omazic on the collaboration: “Having traveled extensively throughout Asia, I have found that Asian women have become more active and have obtained more freedom in modern society. Today, I am delighted to have worked closely with Song Hye Kyo for this new creation and to be a part of an innovative project that opens up our company onto the world. I sincerely believe this bag represents the new voice of Asian women.�?

The bag, which looks quite similar to Celine’s Bittersweet purse is going to be produced in limited quantities and expected to hit store shelves in Asia when fall rolls around. The limited-edition “Miss Song Bag” retails for about $4000.

All money generated from selling the bags will be donated to Song Hye Kyo charity organizations.

Last Call Sale is almost over at Neiman Marcus! So get some gorgeous bags while they’e still in stock. Here are a couple of my favorite Celine bags marked down.

Celine | Dorine | On Sale $763 (orig $1,525)| View!
This Celine Dorine is only left in ivory calfskin! This bag also came in a gorgeous dark brown, but sadly Neiman Marcus sold out of that color. The long shape of this bag is a little different from any of the bags that I have – measurements of this bag are 8″ height x 16 1/2″ width x 7″ depth. I like it.

Celine | Large Hobo | On Sale $495 (orig $990)| View!
This large slouchy Celine hobo is 50% off the original price! Usually I’m not a fan of red bags, but it’s just something about this color that draws me in. It’s the right shade of red – the color is lipstick.

Celine Clandestine bag
Did you know that the Celine emblem was created in 1971 by Mme. Vipiana, and was inspired by the chain design around the Arc de Triomphe a classic Parisian symbol. I just read that off the Celine site – you learn something everyday.

The bag of the day that instantly caught my eye is this Celine Clandestine bag in Pale Pink. This bag isn’t new to hit the store shelves, it debut not to long ago, but for some unknown reason I thought I already blogged about this Celine bag, but while browsing through my achieve it became apparent that I haven’t. So overdue, yes I know. Measuring in at 13.25″ x 10.5″ x 5″ this roomy chic bag will fit all the essentials for the day. The highlights of this bag are the easy accessible large exterior front pocket with logo blazon magnetic snap, small vertical zip pocket, feet to prevent scuffing, and topped off with the kiss-lock closure on this classic framed bag.

Mid-day Post: I wish I could walk through those doors to check out the latest Celine glam-bags. But no, I am stuck inside preparing for a presentation I have to give tomorrow (yea I know, who takes Saturday classes?), not only that but the nearest Celine Boutique is in Vegas. Ooh the unfortunate situation of a Seattle Celine fashion-lover. Thank goodness for online shops that carry Celine, like eLUXURY and Bloomingdales!
