Anyone know of the designer line "CELINE" from Paris?
I have a purse that is labeled "CELINE Paris". It's left over from my partner's aunt's estate, and wondering if it might be a high fashion item (as all her stuff was) and/or valuable and/or in any way interesting.

I've never heard of "CELINE" except for that piece of shit singer from Canada, so I'm curious as to whether I'm sitting on something quite nice or not (the purse appears to be unused as well).

Thanks in advance, oh super knowledgable DUers!

1. Michael Kors is/was the house's head designer

I read way too much Vanity Fair and Town & Country. :D

on edit: to answer your question, it may be haute couture. Try eBay for research. Bonne chance!

2. Don't know that name, either
Is this on a par with Gucci and Tiffany and Vuitton?

3. I'd say they're worth a bit

Kinda like Louie Vuitton and all those designers, I'd say.

4. Celine is a couture house
It is entirely possible that is valuable, as vintage couture is very in vogue right now. If possible, try to find out what year it is.
