Since its release in 2018 by creative director Hedi Slimane, Celine's Teen Triomphe bag has made the rounds among celebrities and It girls, mostly French ones, alike. Lauded for its sleek design, practical size and shape, and goes-with-everything aesthetic, the crossbody bag is understandably many people's dream bag. There's just one component of the bag—clad with the two C Triomphe emblem that the brand's founder Céline Vipiana came up with back in 1972—that might cause one to pump the breaks before making a purchase: It costs more than $3,600.
Though understandable given the quality of the materials used to craft it—it has a calf-leather exterior, a lambskin interior, and gold hardware—simply put, a lot of consumers can't afford a bag with a price tag that high. Fortunately, another trusted brand just launched a style that, at $198, is much more likely to fit into this month's shopping budget.
This week, J.Crew debuted the latest iteration of its Edie bag, and in 2023, it's gotten quite the refresh. The Edie first launched in the fall 2011 collection and looked like a more structured than usual messenger bag with a feminine touch. This time around, it's been shrunk down to 6 1/2"H x 8 1/2"W x 2 1/4"D and made in a shiny Italian leather with gold hardware. Offered in four colors—black, ivory, green, and baby blue—the style is perfect for anyone who's been eyeing the iconic Teen Triomphe but can't quite secure the bag just yet. It'll happen one day, but for now, the Edie is a more than worthy sit in.
