The Old Céline Underground: How to Find the Rarest Phoebe Philo-Era Pieces On and Off the Internet

Old Céline lovers, take note.

At this point, I knew that if I wanted to stock my closet full with great Old Céline classics, The Real Real would do the job. But if I needed something rare, it might be worth enlisting a personal shopper. Sourcing via Instagram can be helpful, but at the end of the day, it can't replace an expert. “Call me your very own little secret fashion weapon,” Waller said to me.

Much like investigative journalists, however, personal shoppers tend to protect their sources. Which means we may never find outwhere the best Old Céline pieces come from. Though I did wonder: Do Frenchwomen, just by nature of being, you know, French, have the most Céline in their closets? “I wouldn’t say that is the case,” said Waller. “I have clients from all over the world with an incredible Old Céline closet. A special mention would have to go to a Hong Kong woman who I’ve found have some incredibly rare and beautiful pieces,” she noted. After an initial trip there in January, Waller realized that Philo’s influence had permeated that region, too, with many counting themselves die-hard devotees.

For her part, Blanchet still thinks Europeans might have the best Old Céline in their closets. “I’ve found that a lot of frequent and most faithful buyers of Céline by Phoebe Philo come from Germany,” she explained. “Out of all the beautiful, inspiring, and chic women I’ve gotten the pleasure to meet over the years, some of those who have epitomized Céline by Phoebe Philo the most are German and Dutch.
