Postcards From Brisbane: 36 Hours In Queensland With Celine To Celebrate The Opening Of Their Chic QueensPlaza Pop-Up
Our on the ground source, Violet Grace Atkinson, spills her travel diary secrets
Paris may have the Avenue Montaigne and Rue Saint Honoré boutiques, but over 16,000 kilometres away, Celine is offering their Brisbane-based sartorial adherents their very own moment of sartorial reverence.
Inside the luxuriate laden QueensPlaza mall, the French maison is bringing a touch of their signature gold chrome interiors and vintage spirit to a city with an appetite for destruction—see, those looking to do some damage to the plastic in fuelling their Hedi Slimane fix.
As time has proven over and over again, French savoir-faire is a mood apt for any locale, and on the tiled floor of Brisbane’s premiere shopping destination, Celine has offered this in spades.
Or, should we say, in a stellar melange of leather goods ranging from the perennial favourite Triomphe handbag in every flavour imaginable to this writer’s personal favourite: the Ava bag (courtesy of our shared namesake, of course).
To celebrate Celine’s inaugural presence in the sunshine state, the maison celebrated with French fanfare by inviting those close to the brand on an intimate trip nothing short of a sartorial odyssey.
Atkinson is a mainstay in international street style guide around the world thank’s to her no holds barred approach to styling the most covetable new-season items.
Reporting live from the ground—and her top-of-our-wishlist biker Chelsea boots—Atkinson and her trusted Celine varsity jacket divulges the details of the trip from the inner sanctum of her travel diary, proving that any voyage taken in pursuit of Celine in one worth taking.
