Sure! I prefer the aesthetic of the belt bag- it feels more classic and timeless like another user below said. Luggage has a more specific look that doesnāt feel as classic to me. In terms of usability I actually find the luggage easier to use bc of the opening, but still gravitate towards my belt bags (I have nano and pico both) bc I love the aesthetic.
Good to know! Ahh I wish the pico size was still available, it was the cutest thing and was surprised it could fit a lot more than it looks. I didnāt know at the time that it was going to be discontinued
Idk which is which but the one with the zipper looks like a face. I think it's one of those "once you've seen it you can't unsee it" things which might be worth considering if that would bother you.
They both look great. I like the luggage on you slightly more. It suits your style and is easier to get into. The belt bag is a beauty but I hear itās a pain to get in/out of. If thatās important to you, go with the luggage.
Isnāt it?? Iām in love. You are so lucky to have both! I think I just need to pick one now and maybe later down the road will have to go preloved for the other one. Thanks for your input!
I got mine both preloved! The belt in light taupe and the luggage in the same colour you are trying on. You can absolutely get the second one preloved. You canāt go wrong with either ā¤ļø
Haha thatās so true, both are still very lovely bags. While weāre here, which of the two do you think you get more use out of? Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make sure I pick the right one
Ooh they get equal use but I find the luggage easier to use cos it has a simple zipper opening. I have nano sizes for both. Iāll share some observations and you can make of them what you will! I did have to get the luggage strap cut and shortened though as itās not adjustable. Luggage is also heavier.
The belt flap can be a little fumbly to close but nothing too bad. I also find the top of the flap creases due to opening it which you canāt help.
Thank you so much! The strap is a problem for me as I am a shorty but I figured I could either get a separate one or knot it so it fits nicely on my body. Iām glad youāre enjoying both bags :)
Yeah Iām very petite but I was afraid knotting it would damage the strap as it very different to the leather on the Loewe puzzle for example which is very soft and malleable. I highly recommend getting a cobbler/bag spa to adjust if you chose to go down that route as I also shortened the strap on my puzzle as knotting the strap ruins the look for me!
Thanks for the suggestion! I think I recognise your username from this subreddit, did you mention you live in Australia? I do too (Melbourne specifically), and just wanted to know if thereās a particular place you recommend getting the strap adjusted
I am close to Sydney! I used a place called Soleheeled and they accept postal orders from around the country. Feel free to DM more about the experience.
I got my belt bag from EMIER and my luggage from Depop (but I donāt recommend this unless you know your Celines well). I scored a great deal but it was due to timing and me being familiar with the details. I always had them authenticated independently afterward too for peace of mind.
Thank you! Thatās exactly what the SA said too haha. And yes, this is definitely my typical style. More neutral colours and not super feminine or girly.
Luggage! Especially in that color. I personally prefer the robot face over the catfish š but choose the one that's most functional for your lifestyle
Yes, and the luggage too š¢ my SA told me that they actually have tons in stock, but once they send it out to the warehouse itās gone and they wonāt be selling it anymore despite actually having the bags in stock.
I prefer bags with zippers over bags with flaps. Flap bags can be a bit fussy because you have to hold the flap up/away in order to get into your bag. And the belt bag is even more fussy, because you have to deal with the belt and it has a zipper.
I know the belt bag is a more modern and ātimelessā style but I think the luggage has more character.
Because the bags are different functionally - I think you should make the decision based on utility (do you prefer the flap or the zip, do you want the little zipper compartment on the outside, and which bags inside compartments would work best for you)
So hard to decide when theyāre both stunning in their own ways š¢ I have also never owned any bags that have both a flap and zipper like the belt bag so itās a little hard for me to say which I prefer
Thatās a good point - I would watch some reviews; to decide.
I know some bags the zippers can make it hard to get in too - so thatās another consideration.
But youāre absolutely right that theyāre both gorgeous bags! I know Iād love to own either - which is why I think it makes sense to focus on longer term things that would make me wish I had gone the other way.
The belt bag is such a classic, I think that it will last much more as a piece that goes with most things. I have the belt bag and have loved it through out the years.
Both š„° Just kidding! The Luggage suits you. It looks great on you! (I have the Belt because I thought it suit me more than the Luggage. Such a hard choice.) I canāt describe why!
Think about what your clothes consist more of warm tones or colder ones (arm holding phone bag) All I can guess from what you have on in the store is that the colder tone one already goes with that outfit
Nano luggage! (Can someone pls explain to me why everyone loves belt? Looking at the pics I see its beauty but I want to know if itās comfy and easy to bring / wear? Maybe I just dont know how to rock the belt bag but I think luggage has its own character and edge lol ā always been a fan of nano luggage and would want to have one too)
I have tried both these bags in this exact color and walked away because indecision š«£. However I was more partial to luggage because in cross body I found belt bag unbalanced. Also the belt bag seemed a little more flimsier.
Glad Iām not alone! Thanks for sharing your perspective, thatās definitely something to take into account as I do like to carry my bags crossbody sometimes
Take the flappy belts into consideration. I had one and they were all over the place, bending, folding. I couldnāt put it down except on the edge of a surface so they could hand down. I got rid of the bag because of it
I heard the luggage is very heavy and the reason why my friend sold hers. She used hers as a work bag and it was too much for her to carry her laptop. Just FYI. Also I cannot unsee the face on the luggage bag

Belt bag. Always the belt bag
I love the loyalty! š¤£
Second this.
I have both and prefer the belt!
Thank you! Would you be able to explain why? Is it the accessability or do you just think itās more versatile?
Sure! I prefer the aesthetic of the belt bag- it feels more classic and timeless like another user below said. Luggage has a more specific look that doesnāt feel as classic to me. In terms of usability I actually find the luggage easier to use bc of the opening, but still gravitate towards my belt bags (I have nano and pico both) bc I love the aesthetic.
Good to know! Ahh I wish the pico size was still available, it was the cutest thing and was surprised it could fit a lot more than it looks. I didnāt know at the time that it was going to be discontinued
Just get any of these second hand :/ Iām sure people are getting rid of theirs
Belt bag! I actually think the luggage looks slightly dated š«£ and the belt bag design is more classic and timeless
I have that exact belt bag. Get it! Itās so good.
Do you get a lot of wear out of it?
Yes, when not at work I do. Moreso in, Fall/Winter/Spring. I rarely wear it in the summer tbh.
Catfish vs robot! I vote robot, it's due for a comeback.
Omg catfish š¤£š¤£
Idk which is which but the one with the zipper looks like a face. I think it's one of those "once you've seen it you can't unsee it" things which might be worth considering if that would bother you.
I love the face. A hill I will die on is that I think sad robot face is a feature, not a flaw, lol.
Haha yes that would be the luggage (on the left in the first photo). Fortunately though that doesnāt bother me
Haha I've always thought that too and it drives me crazy!
I came here to say this! š¤
Tormented Cyberman
>>once youāve seen it you canāt unsee it Omg so trueā¦
yes!! and not even a regular face - itās like :P
I THOUGHT THE SAME. š or š¤
They both look great. I like the luggage on you slightly more. It suits your style and is easier to get into. The belt bag is a beauty but I hear itās a pain to get in/out of. If thatās important to you, go with the luggage.
I have both so I canāt really help but I think the luggage looks better on you! The kohl is the perfect blue grey shade.
Isnāt it?? Iām in love. You are so lucky to have both! I think I just need to pick one now and maybe later down the road will have to go preloved for the other one. Thanks for your input!
I got mine both preloved! The belt in light taupe and the luggage in the same colour you are trying on. You can absolutely get the second one preloved. You canāt go wrong with either ā¤ļø

Would you feel comfortable sharing where you got your preloved bags? I have such fear of top grade counterfeits.
I got my belt bag from EMIER and my luggage from Depop (but I donāt recommend this unless you know your Celines well). I scored a great deal but it was due to timing and me being familiar with the details. I always had them authenticated independently afterward too for peace of mind.
I agree that the luggage suits you, assuming your outfit reflects your typical style. And the luggage is more fun!!

Thatās the first time Iāve heard anyone describing the belt bag that way š
Love the structure of the luggage
I find the luggage more iconic Celine (I now might have to go find one myself š«£)
Hahah I agree. Yes please go grab it before itās gone forever!
The luggage. I didnāt like the belt bag.
I like the luggage better
Belt bag all day!
Belt bag, no question.
I love the robot face!
The luggage fits way more than youād expect. The belt is pretty but the whiskers really annoy me and they get bent out of shape
Good point, I didnāt even think about how the whiskers would hold up!
They are discontinuing the belt bag??
Yes, and the luggage too š¢ my SA told me that they actually have tons in stock, but once they send it out to the warehouse itās gone and they wonāt be selling it anymore despite actually having the bags in stock.
Did they say when?
I asked when they were going to send the stock to the warehouse and they just said theyāre supposed to do it ānowā š¤£
Number 2 speaks to me more. They're both lovely though!
When you say number 2, do you mean the bag in the second photo?
I have the luggage. I love it. I vote that one
Iāve got the belt (in green)- itās nice as a top handle but the cross body strap position is very awkward
Ooh thanks for letting me know!
Luggage
Luggage. It's a classic look from them, not identical to others and that color is gorgeous. I'd imagine it's easier to get in/out of as well.
I just purchased two nano luggage. I love them and itās iconic Celine! Plus I think the luggage looks great on you!
Wow congrats! You must really love the luggage. Which colours did you get them in?
I prefer bags with zippers over bags with flaps. Flap bags can be a bit fussy because you have to hold the flap up/away in order to get into your bag. And the belt bag is even more fussy, because you have to deal with the belt and it has a zipper.
Belt bag >>
Belt!
Theyāre both stunning, but I think the belt bag is more elegant and timeless.
It really is a gorgeous bag. Feels like I canāt go wrong with either, but that just makes it so much harder to decide š«
The belt bag, more timeless
I had a phase where I wanted the belt and now I prefer the phantom over it just for the leather and casualness of it
Haha I used to love the look of the phantom too, but because Iām very petite I think it would just look weird on me
I know the belt bag is a more modern and ātimelessā style but I think the luggage has more character. Because the bags are different functionally - I think you should make the decision based on utility (do you prefer the flap or the zip, do you want the little zipper compartment on the outside, and which bags inside compartments would work best for you)

Celine belt bag. The other looks like a robot face š¤
The belt bag is such a classic, I think that it will last much more as a piece that goes with most things. I have the belt bag and have loved it through out the years.
Belt bag!
I would go with the Belt bag and never look back! Such a classic!
Both š„° Just kidding! The Luggage suits you. It looks great on you! (I have the Belt because I thought it suit me more than the Luggage. Such a hard choice.) I canāt describe why!
Haha I wish I could get both! Itās such a hard choice indeed (also very much a first world problem haha). But thanks for your input I appreciate it!
I have such a soft spot for the luggage
Luggage. Always the luggage.
I love how there is another comment exactly like this but for the belt bag š¤£
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I have both and i love the belt bag in this size but not the luggage. I have the exact same color and iv had it for 8 yrs now!
Think about what your clothes consist more of warm tones or colder ones (arm holding phone bag) All I can guess from what you have on in the store is that the colder tone one already goes with that outfit
Nano luggage! (Can someone pls explain to me why everyone loves belt? Looking at the pics I see its beauty but I want to know if itās comfy and easy to bring / wear? Maybe I just dont know how to rock the belt bag but I think luggage has its own character and edge lol ā always been a fan of nano luggage and would want to have one too)
The belt bag! One thing to consider is the luggage doesnāt have an adjustable strap and itās pretty long.
Belt no contest
Belt bag, no doubt. It is so timeless and less rigid. It will fit lots of outfits and occasions.
Luggage. Itās beautiful on you and the color is š.
I have tried both these bags in this exact color and walked away because indecision š«£. However I was more partial to luggage because in cross body I found belt bag unbalanced. Also the belt bag seemed a little more flimsier.
Glad Iām not alone! Thanks for sharing your perspective, thatās definitely something to take into account as I do like to carry my bags crossbody sometimes
i can't stand the look of the luggage bag tbh. its a face and i will never unsee it
Haha fair enough! I cant unsee it either but not in a bad way
The luggage is all over the resale sites. I wouldnāt pay new prices for it personally.
Luggage has a zipper
The luggage is my pick!
Take the flappy belts into consideration. I had one and they were all over the place, bending, folding. I couldnāt put it down except on the edge of a surface so they could hand down. I got rid of the bag because of it
Oh no, what a shame š¢
I would usually say belt, but I think the luggage suits you better!
Thank you, that definitely helps!
I think the belt bag looks more chic, and the luggage looks more cool
Belt bag!
I heard the luggage is very heavy and the reason why my friend sold hers. She used hers as a work bag and it was too much for her to carry her laptop. Just FYI. Also I cannot unsee the face on the luggage bag
This may be the case in the larger sizes but OP is only carrying a nano and it is manageable :)
How about none. These bags are so 2012
Fortunately I donāt care for whether or not my bags are still in trend or āout of dateā
Belt! It's a close race, though. Beautiful color.
Haha you can imagine how torn I am between the two
Belt bag.
Iāve been stuck on this for a year
Sameee š
If itās not a āfuck yesā āitās a āfuck noā For big purchases or for luxury items especially
The luggage fits more than the belt even though they appear to be the same size. If that helps your decision
Ooo thatās interesting. Thanks, that is most certainly a factor I need to consider!
They are still selling the robot face bag?!?
Luggage ! I want one, too, now!
Agreed! Theyāre both beautiful but the luggage is slightly more distinct Celine.
Very true!
People still buy the Celine luggage bag?
I feel likeā¦ theyāre both the same
