In early 1950s Céline established her own particular brand of luxury goods. Encouraged by success and good fortune the label launched first RTW line of ladies clothing. Next in late 1950s brand showed popular collection of handbags and shoes.
Thing that made Céline really popular was to aim her collections of bags and shoes at the new middle class market and not just at the elite few. The most important things for brand founder were materials. Céline Vipiana is constantly innovating her lines, when denim became fashionable, she re- worked it and made it more feminine. Céline customers received clothing in a range of pastel denim colours.
