Louise Bucket

Celine 1:1 Top Replica: Medium Louise Bucket in Natural/Tan Raffia and Calfskin

The Natural/Tan raffia Louise Bucket is the warm-weather counterpart to the black raffia version — the same 23.5 x 24 x 16 cm silhouette in hand-braided raffia, but with tan calfskin trim replacing black. The result is monochromatically warm: the natural raffia carrying the pale gold of dried grasses, the tan leather trim echoing the tone in a darker register, the whole bag reading as a single, coherent color story.

The raffia’s braided surface creates a micro-texture that catches light in fragments — a visual effect entirely different from the smooth calfskin versions, where light pools and slides across broad planes. Here, the surface sparkles faintly, thousands of tiny highlights shifting as the bag moves. The tan calfskin front flap, secured by the gold-finish Triomphe magnetic clasp, provides a smooth counterpoint to the textured body. The gold clasp reads as the bag’s warmest element — a metallic focal point that ties the raffia’s pale gold to the calfskin’s deeper tan. The lambskin-lined interior and removable zipped pouch continue the practical framework.

The single handle (9 cm drop) and adjustable shoulder strap (50–57 cm) offer the Louise’s standard carry options. In Natural/Tan, this bag belongs to summer — straw hats, espadrilles, linen everything — but it ages out of strict seasonality as the raffia softens and the tan leather burnishes. By its second summer, it has become a year-round bag that happens to be made of raffia.
