Céline Classic Camel Box

I have never had such a hard time making a decision on a bag before. My stress levels were ridiculously high it is almost embarrassing. It began with me falling in love with the 'Wood' box bag in the Céline December Campaign ,which led me to visit it in store. I then found out only 5 had been produced for the UK, with only 1 left, adding to my lust.  When I first saw it my heart sank, it was painful. It was beautiful, but just not me. It was darker than I had anticipated, but had a gorgeous multi-tone in various lights of darkest khaki green and blackest of brown, but I wanted a warmer, chocolate brown. 

I was then shown the camel alternative, and felt a great desire over the wood. It just felt 'right'. When I looked at the wood again and it left me wanting to look at the camel again. It had the correct combination of chocolate and caramel to produce a delicious result.

In my head I was repeating "THERE IS ONLY ONE LEFT IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY YOU NEED THE WOOD!!". But the Camel was so much better, it has a warm, and comforting feeling to it. 

I tried the bags on repeatedly, asking the sales assistants for their opinion, asking my sister. In the end my choice was the Classic Camel. It is strange, I haven't thought about the Camel Box since I fell in love with it years ago, but gave up on the impossibility of owning it, that it faded from my mind. When viewing it I fell wholly in love again, even more so: the buttery soft leather, the glossy gold clasp and hardware, the ultimate functionality and versatility. 

I cannot wait to wear my new baby.
