The business began as a made-to-measure shoe service for children. Before long, her boutiques had spread across Paris. In the 1960s, she created the first line of leather goods and accessories, before a natural progression to design the ‘Sportswear’ collection in 1968. It is at this time that CELINE came to stand for the idea of Parisian chic, with savoir-faire and the finest quality materials as pillars of the house.
