CELINE, LVMH owned french luxury house, was founded in paris in 1945 by Céline Vipiana. A renowned house that has a long history in celebrating creativity and craftsmanship through its ready-to-wear, couture, leather-goods, Haute Parfumerie and Beauté collections. Home to CELINE’s ateliers, the house’s headquarters are located at 16, rue Vivienne at l’Hotel Colbert de Torcy in the heart of Paris.
Since January 2025, the house has opened a new chapter under the creative direction of Michael Rider, whose vision is shaping CELINE’s future.
Feminine elegance and sophisticated style
The modern woman seeking effortless sophistication turns to CELINE for its quiet elegance. From handbags to belts to eyewear, each accessory fits within a holistic vision of style — understated yet powerful, born from the precision of the ateliers at 16 rue Vivienne in Paris.
Complete your look with a pair of CELINE sunglasses embraced by fashion icons such as Kendall Jenner and Rihanna. Their design stands out through visual harmony and a now-iconic detail: three dots on the temples, a subtle mark of CELINE refinement.
Iconic symbols: Triomphe and 3 Dots
At CELINE, details are never mere decoration — they tell a story. Two signatures perfectly embody this controlled elegance: the Triomphe and the 3 Dots.
The first, created in 1971, was inspired by the iron chain surrounding the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The mirrored double “C” has become much more than a logo — it is a timeless emblem of heritage and continuity. It appears on handbags, jewelry, and, of course, on sunglasses, always interpreted with that signature graphic restraint that defines the house.
The second, more discreet yet equally recognizable, adorns the temples of CELINE frames: three small dots, the subtle hallmark of the 3 Dots collection. They embody the brand’s constant search for balance — between strength and delicacy, presence and discretion.
Each pair in the 3 Dots line showcases bold volumes, clean shapes, and timeless tones, resulting in an instantly recognizable yet understated aesthetic.
Among the most emblematic designs, the CELINE Triomphe 01 stands out with its bold lines and embossed logo, a true symbol of confident elegance. Meanwhile, the CELINE 3 Dots CL4004IN 05K in tortoiseshell acetate exemplifies the brand’s contemporary subtlety — a structured, feminine, and timeless frame crafted for those who appreciate the perfection of detail.
Timeless sunglasses made to last
CELINE frames are crafted from premium materials with balanced volumes — square, oval, cat-eye, rectangular, or butterfly shapes. Their lenses ensure optimal UV protection while providing exceptional visual comfort. The result: sunglasses that blend elegance, durability, and comfort, perfect for both city life and sunny escapes.
Which shape should you choose for your CELINE sunglasses?
Choosing the right frame means finding the perfect balance between your personality and your face shape. CELINE sunglasses come in a variety of silhouettes designed to enhance every feature. A round face gains definition with square or rectangular frames that elongate the contours. Square faces pair beautifully with oval or butterfly shapes that soften the gaze. As for oval faces, they can wear it all — from bold oversize styles to the geometric elegance of the Triomphe Metal 02.
