Cléa Besace
Celine's Cléa Besace in burgundy shiny calfskin is proof that a bag can be rich without raising its voice. Besace is the French word for a satchel worn on the shoulder, and Celine uses it for its compact shoulder and crossbody shapes, of which the Cléa is one of the most polished.

The shiny calfskin is the point here. It has a subtle glaze that deepens the burgundy, so the color moves from claret in daylight to something nearer oxblood indoors. At 8.7 inches wide, 6.3 inches tall and 2.4 inches deep, it holds a phone, a wallet, keys and sunglasses in their case, the daily kit and nothing that will spoil its shape. The strap has a 20-inch drop, comfortable on the shoulder and easy over a winter coat.
Wear it every day, which is what it was made for. Burgundy is a natural with grey flannel, navy, camel and denim, and it adds warmth to an all-black winter wardrobe without breaking it. Keep the outfit simple and let the leather carry the polish. Carry it with Saclyn for a winter and see whether it becomes the bag you reach for without thinking.
Each bag is inspected and freshly prepared before every rental. While individual pieces may show light signs of previous use, we keep our collection in excellent condition.
