REVIEW: Samorga Organizer for my Céline Mini Luggage



As most of you all know, I bought my Céline Mini Luggage just over a month ago. The day after I received my Céline, I ordered a Samorga purse organizer specifically for my Céline. I'd heard that Céline bags tend to slouch, so I wanted to buy an organizer that would help my bag keep its structured shape. Also, the Céline Mini Luggage is like a bottomless pit inside, and I think if I didn't use an organizer, it'd always take me ages to find anything!



This is the Samorga I purchased, in the "Dark Dune" colour. I figured that the dark dune would be the closest match to the inside of my caramel mini.

Overall, these organizers are really well made and I think they're a real asset to have, especially for the mini luggage. However, I have to say that they are really quite overpriced for what they are. Including shipping and handling, my organizer came up to about $80 CDN, which is quite a lot of money for an organizer made of felt. That being said, I think this is an investment piece, and since my Céline cost so much money, I want to be able to take good care of it and I think the Samorga really protects the inside of the bag (which is suede) and also helps the bag to keep its proper shape.

I also far prefer the layout of the Samorga with the middle insert. It really makes me feel that I'm using all the space in the organizer well. I have another organizer which doesn't have anything in the middle and is basically a whole bunch of small pockets sewn into the organizer, and that really doesn't help me at all.

I would definitely recommend looking into these organizers if you are interested in keeping your handbags more organized. The company is really great with communication and you can ask them to make a custom insert for you if you provide the bag's dimensions.

CÉLINE Mini Luggage Reveal


I've been searching and saving for this bag for ages now. I was in Paris in May and hadn't saved up enough money to buy it, so I couldn't buy it while I was there. I'm so glad I waited, though! I found this bag in Vancouver at a store called Bacci's.

Since I live in Toronto and couldn't see the bag in person, I had the sales associate email me a picture of the bag so I could see what the leather and colour were like before I purchased the bag. As soon as I got the email, I called my sales associate back right away and bought the bag!

The bag was shipped to me expedited and took about five days to get here. I'll be posting an unboxing video shortly :)

This is the Céline Mini Luggage in Caramel. The leather is called Baby Calfskin and has a grain to it and a bit of a shine as well.




This close up should help show the grain and slight sheen of the leather.
All these photos were taken without flash, so it's obvious that there is a slight sheen to the bag (which I really like). The inside of the bag is suede.

The bag is so lovely. I've heard people complain that the Mini is too heavy, which I find is not the case, since I lug around a Zara Office City bag all day long for school, filled with a laptop and notebooks and water bottles and plenty of other things (that bag usually weighs about 10-15 lbs every day). I've also heard people complain that the bag is too huge, and I also have to disagree. I'm 5'3" and I don't feel like the bag is too big or overpowering at all.

The leather is amazing quality and I'm so thrilled to finally own a Céline!
