Jessica Alba Takes It Back to the Old Sc

Jessica Alba was recently spotted heading to lunch in LA,, carrying what we;ll call a Celine Buckle Bag. This bag either pre-dates Phoebe Philo;s advent at the brand in 2009 (and all the handbag success that came with it) or comes from very early in her tenure. Before Philo;s Luggage Tote, Celine bags didn;t garner much press, so finding specific info about bags from this era can be tricky. It shares a handle structure with the Celine Boogie Bag,, the most famous of the pre-Philo Celine bags. We may not be able to date this bag with total confidence, but we invite our avid Celine aficionados to weigh in. The rest of Jessica;s outfit is also appropriately old school ; those gaudy prints of the late 1980s/early 1990s do pair especially well with black minis, tights and knee-high boots. (Though I can;t say I;m happy that someone is trying to bring gaudy grandma prints back into fashion.) Jessica is pretty adventurous with her handbag choices ; you can peep at the majority of her collection in ;The Many Bags of Jessica Alba; and ;The Many Bags of Jessica Alba,,, Part Two;.
