Celine Mini Vanity Case Tan Review from Galleria Gwanggyo

Hello. Today I am writing a review of something I own. I am a mini-bag lover who only carries mini bags. The bag I am introducing is Celine's Mini Vanity Case in Triomphe Canvas and calfskin. The color is tan. There did not seem to be many Celine vanity reviews, so I wrote this hoping it would help.

The vanity looks perfect with a princess-like outfit, and it is so lovely. It looks very tiny in photos, and in real life it is also very small.

I bought it directly at Galleria Gwanggyo. Compared with Seoul, there were definitely fewer people, and I liked being able to enter without waiting. Most importantly, it was the nearest branch that had stock.

A vanity is a dressing table, so a vanity case means a cosmetics box. Vanity bags from other brands also tend to be rectangular or square. The vanity I bought was KRW 1,600,000. It measures 9.5 x 9 x 9 and has a square shape. The exterior is Triomphe Canvas overall, the handle and crossbody strap are calfskin, and it is finished with a gold-tone zipper. Because I do not like wasted trips, I always shop this way: find the product on the official Celine website, look for the closest store with stock, and confirm by phone before going.

A proof shot from the store. I ended up buying it after work that day, so my outfit was very casual. The shopping bag was unusually gold. I bought it in December 2023, and for about one month they had a holiday edition or event, so the bag was a shiny gold color. It felt embarrassing to carry around, and even gold dust seemed to come off on my hands.

The funny thing is that the bag itself is palm-sized, but the box was huge like a gift box. They gave me the largest shopping bag, so I carried a bag almost as big as my body and went home to unbox it.

That is enough for the unboxing photos. Looking at it again, it is still so pretty. The small shopping bag there is perfume. After the purchase, the seller packed one for me, and it smelled like the Celine store.

Celine Parade Eau

The source describes it as a powdery musk cologne that recreates the ritual of men's sartorial style. It carries the dandy charm of figures from 19th-century writers to musicians in the 1960s pop and rock scenes. It represents a harmony of cultures and a return to French perfumery. Parade begins with neroli and bergamot notes like bright sunlight, continues into delicate musk and oak moss, and leaves an addictive powdery finish. The notes listed are bergamot, neroli, vetiver, musk, and oak moss. The writer says this description was borrowed from the official site, and after using it more, they may consider buying it because the warm scent was very appealing.

The real reason I am writing this vanity review is storage. People who saw the vanity kept asking whether anything could fit in such a tiny bag and saying I should have bought a slightly bigger one even if it cost more. But the things I need fit well enough, so I would open the bag and argue back. With this design and this storage, why not buy it? So I will show how much fits inside.

A cushion compact, AirPods, a comb, cards, and four tints. Isn't that enough for a simple outing? If you remove about two tints, you can put in a car key, and a feminine product can fit if folded slightly.

Here are outfit photos from about two months of carrying it.

That ends my Celine Vanity Case review: cute in size, but for me, surprisingly strong on storage. Thank you for reading. #Celine #CelineVanity #VanityBag #MiniBag #VanityCase #GalleriaGwanggyo
