You know when two brands you love join forces and it just feels like the universe conspired to make your wardrobe happier? That’s exactly what happened with the new Celia B clothing x Squeeze De Citron capsule collection. I’ve been a longtime fan of both brands — and this partnership? Sunshine in outfit form.
For years, I’ve loved (and worn) both collections. They’re the kind of pieces that instantly put me in a better mood. Like wearable confetti — but elegant, feminine, and a little eccentric in the best way. Now pair Celia B’s joyful aesthetic with the vibrant energy of Squeeze De Citron’s artisan-made bags and totes, and you’ve got yourself a feel-good capsule.
Today, I’m thrilled to give you a glimpse into what makes these pieces so special. Let’s break things down a bit, shall we?
About Celia B Clothing
Celia B — short for its founder, Celia Bernardo — launched in 2012. Celia has a background in advertising, fashion, and jewelry design and eventually landed her in Shanghai. That’s where the magic really began. Inspired by her global travels (think Latin America, Morocco, Spain, and beyond), Celia B’s clothing pieces are like postcards from around the world. Everything is full of texture, pattern, and personality.
What I love most about her (besides the clothes, obviously!) is her mission and brand philosophy. Celia believes in color as activism. In a world where neutrals have become the safe choice, she leans into joy, vibrancy, and individuality. Her pieces are made for women who don’t mind turning heads. Women who, as she says, take the world by storm.
Which, honestly? Is the energy we all need.
Her designs are bold and brave and unapologetically colorful, which I personally love. And when I say they make a statement, I mean I can’t get through a single day of wearing Celia B without at least three people stopping me to ask, “Where did you get that?”
Squeeze de Citron
Now let’s talk about Squeeze De Citron. If you’ve ever scrolled my summer outfit posts, you’ve probably seen me carry several iof their bags. They’re not only beautiful, but they’re also ethically made by Mexican and Guatemalan artisans using 100% recycled plastic. Each bag takes up to a week to make. Yes, a full week. That kind of dedication? You can feel it the second you hold one.
Founder Lila Limon (yes, her real name is just as citrus-perfect as her brand) is the creative force behind it all. Born in Mexico City, she brought her love of color and texture to life through Squeeze De Citron. Moreover, her bags are basically little bursts of happiness. I love that each piece represents something bigger: a celebration of culture, craftsmanship, and sustainability. Plus, they’re so fun to carry.
Corsica Dress
Today’s outfit features Celia B clothing’s Corsica Dress (also available here and pre-order here). It’s a SHOWSTOPPER. I’m wearing a size small for reference, and it fits like a dream. First, the structured sweetheart neckline is fantastic — flattering without feeling too revealing. The multicolored checkered print? So fun. Plus, the thick straps make it bra-friendly (a small but essential victory). The cinched waist defines your shape, and the asymmetric ruffle skirt gives it that “oh this? I just threw it on. 🙂
Also, be sure to check out this gorgeous pattern and print in other apparel options. I’m loving this exclusive midi dress version, and this peplum top and shorts set (SO good!). In fact, I’m seriously considering purchasing the top and shorts set for an upcoming trip. They’re just divine!!
Corsica Bag
It’s the kind of dress that does all the talking. I paired it with one of the capsule’s signature Corsica Bag, inspired to match to the dress. Love that! The pairing of the two gives that ultimate serotonin boost in wearable form. The bag retails for $120 and worth every penny!
Why this Capsule Matters
Beyond the joy of wearing these pieces, what makes this collaboration really special is the shared purpose. Both Celia B and Squeeze De Citron are rooted in craftsmanship, creativity, and community. The brands champion ethical production. Plus, they believe in fashion as something meaningful — not just trendy or disposable, but deeply personal and full of heart.
When you wear something from this collection, you’re not just wearing a pretty dress or a fun bag. You’re wearing someone’s art. Someone’s vision. You’re supporting artisan work that takes days (sometimes weeks) to create. Love that!
A Few Fun Details to Know
- Every Squeeze De Citron bag is made with 100% recycled plastic and takes 5–7 days to weave. The handles? Another three days. This is slow fashion done right.
- Celia B’s prints are designed in-house and inspired by everything from Moroccan souks to Latin American fiestas. It’s like a travel diary, but in clothing form.
- The collaboration features coordinated color palettes and playful pairings that make mixing and matching the dresses and bags a breeze.
