Located in a grand 19th-century Haussmann building, with interiors hewn from Grand Antique marble, Celine’s Rue Saint-Honoré store is a temple to Parisian elegance and luxury, dedicated to the feats of savoir-faire that define the house under current creative director Hedi Slimane.
Designed by Slimane, the store is. The ground floor is dedicated to leather goods, fine jewellery and women’s accessories, while a semi-spiral staircase, in golden brass, ascends to a salon-style mezzanine displaying the house’s ‘Haute Maroquinerie’ bags (the pinnacle of Celine’s accessories offering, each is created by hand by a single artisan). Next door, the house’s apothecary-style haute parfumerie, which opened in 2019, is now interconnected, providing a dedicated home for Slimane’s fragrance offering. ‘Pronounced classicism and dissonant sophistication,’ says the brand of the olfactory project, which, like the store, is designed to capture ‘the essence of Paris’.
