Bagged
While doing a quick pass through Bergdorf Goodman in October of 2021, I spied the then recently launched Celine Romy in tan above and bought it on the spot. Even though it was a bag style I needed, over the last three years I’ve worn it only a handful of times. That is until this summer — since May, I’ve carried it non-stop. By early August I realized that a black Romy — one of my all-time shopping rules – would be a good idea. After Celine NYC told me that they had not stocked a medium black Romy in a long time, I did a search. Paris, Sydney, and Singapore had the bag and none would ship to me. So, here I am at the Relais-Christine for two days. I am going to check out Carven’s fall line and look for an Hermès desk blotter. Paris is quiet and the weather is perfect — nice time to be here.

I love the Celine Romy and the way it sits on one’s shoulder. I live by Preston’s shopping rules!
Paris is always a good idea!
A fabulous bag as inspo for a trans-Atlantic trip, love it…
Paris must be on a delightful “high” after the spectacular Olympic Games. Good luck on your search.
Truly a spectacular Olympic Games host city. Lots of remnants still up. It’s sunny, 70′, and many Parisians are still away on holiday.
I was on the lookout for a new bag in tan and this would be perfect. Is the Romy the bag that you carry every day? If not, what is?
I have been carrying it every day.
Welcome back, Preston! I hope your searches are fruitful. It is a great time to be here. I stay put in August and enjoy the quiet.
Great reminder but I can’t decide between the Romy and the Heloise.
