Celine History Celine was founded by Céline Vipiana and her husband Richard in 1945 as a made-to-measure children’s shoe boutique that was located at 52 rue Malte . The shop was denoted by a highly distinct red elephant logo created by cartoonist Raymont Peynet. Céline's most representative brand logo is the classic carriage logo of the 1960s. At that time, because of the love of riding by Céline Vipiana's husband, the personal characteristics of this tight-fitting brand founder were embedded in the symbol of the brand era. Inheriting this trend of carriage, the brand's "Blason" badge pattern double C half-moon carriage pattern became a classic. What is interesting is that the newly appointed Hedi Slimane is replayed as CELINE Triomphe bag The brand's creative directors include: Finding success, the duo expanded and opened three more stores by 1948.
More than a decade later, Vipiana used her success as a launch pad to branch out into ready-to-wear, with the goal to deliver fashion to the everyday woman. On a platform that advocated for practical clothing over frivolity, she launched a sportswear-driven line that revolved around wool skirt suits, fitted shirts, leather vests, and pastel-colored denim. In 1963, she unveiled a women’s shoe line and a year later introduced Vent Fou, the brand’s first fragrance that featured notes of galbanum, jasmine, and rose. Vipiana added leather accessories in 1966, including bags, belts, and gloves. In her mission to deliver pieces of the highest caliber, she sought out a leather goods factory in Florence.

Logo Transformation The red elephant drawn by the painter Raymond Peynet was Celine's initial identification mark. During the Michael Kors period, the carriage logo that was not previously recognized was transformed into a more American alphabetical arrangement. After less than three years, Phoebe Philo, who had a strong style of work, re-arranged the word level and took the original Paris word, and added a apostrophe to the first "E". The concise typeface, echoing the brand's minimalism, also pushed CÊline to an unprecedented height in one fell swoop. Hedi Slimane took over as brand director ,he changed celine original logo, and the French É was discarded, and the English E was changed. The font became thicker than before, reducing the gap between characters. The brand refers to this reference to the Logo used in the 1960s, and used the modernist font of the 1930s as the presentation, The name change and logo change represent not only a brand name change, but also a change of successor, or even a change in style.

4PS Product: Celine product is famous of minimal, clean and comfortable. Their design wont have too many decorate or colorful color.. CELINE for those unfamiliar with said brand, was the epitome of luxury fashion made for the modern working woman, up until former and highly influential creative director Phoebe Philo quit. LVMH, the major business group who owns CELINE among other fashion houses, decided the seemingly “best fit� for the effortlessly chic brand was controversial designer Heidi Slimanne, famous for putting Saint Laurent among one of the top luxury labels.
Price: Celine has a high brand value and their products have high quality and also reflected on the price. Their Target audience are mostly from upper classes and they surely can offer their prices for clothings from 15,000 to 120,000 USD, shoes from 17,500 to 45,000 USD, bags from 38,500 to 90,000 USD, jewelry from 10,000 to 350,000 USD, sunglasses from 11,000 to 15,600 USD, hats from 22,000 to 28,000 USD, belts from 11,000~ to 0,000 USD, small leather goods from 8,000~ to 5,000 USD, perfumes from 7,000 to 10,500 USD.
Place: Due to their products are at mid to high price, their buyers are most for high income ethnic group. Celine’s stores are usually at the prime location and shopping districts but they don’t have lots of branch distributed in an area. Celine value the accuracy rather than quantity, thence their stores are set in the most essence place. They usually set the location of the store in the place with many luxury brands where their main customers would go.
Promotion: in 2014 Marco Gobbetii started Celine prefer using traditional advertising in promotion, such as catwalk or luxury magazines which guide the customers to physical store to buy. However, with the development of the digital age,celine is gradually trying to change their marketing strategies. This time, Celine signing with Tik Tok online celebrity for the first time,also posts the videoes on Youtube to attract more people to watch. With Hedi Slimane's complete renovation of Celine, he changed their logo, and transform the style of all instagram posts, became more uniform and easily to recognize
Market Performance The LVMH Group is a global fashion and luxury brand giant with 75 high-end brands covering fashion and leather goods, perfumes and cosmetics, watches and jewelry, and wine and spirits, The luxury market is changing,new business model is evolving,LVMH fashion &leather goods segment posts strong sales rise, The fashion & leather goods business group achieved organic revenue growth of 15% in the first quarter of 2019.

Its performance was exceptional, its creativity ever more striking and innovative, and its Men’s and Women’s Autumn-Winter fashion shows were universally acclaimed. Louis Vuitton continued to deliver an exceptional performance, Celine gradually rolled out its boutique concept and launched its first high-end perfumery collection.
Suggestions for future direction Celine always is the keep a low-profile fashion brand ,but with the development of technology, I think it can be diversified promotion, .because one of the factors that have impacted the luxury market the most is technology,like can do some collarboration with more others brand or artists,also can frequently updates their ig stores to increasr followers so that people will more focus on the product,maybe can also gradually direct the market to men's clothing, so that man can also enter the store to buy their favorite products,not just go shopping with their wife or girlfriends. Judging from the LVMH Group's revenue in the first half of the year, the French market accounts for 9%, the European market accounts for 17%, the US market accounts for 23%, the Japanese market accounts for 7%, and the Asian market accounts for 33% And other markets accounted for 11%. This shows that the Asian market has become the largest source of revenue for the LVMH Group, far exceeding 26% in the European market (including France) and 23% in the US market. So my suggestions is now Asian market is much more than America and European market, they can do the personalized product only for Asian .
