There is no excuse.
Even small brands like Bonne Gueule (a french brand I follow since the beginning) is using Excella YKK zippers for their 590 € leather jacket : https://www.bonnegueule.fr/nos-premiers-blousons-en-cuir-decouvrez-leur-histoire/
If a luxury brand like Céline wants to use YKK, it should be the premium Excella offer. What a shame if this is confirmed not the case.
I think it was a conscious decision by Hedi/CELINE, in an effort to conserve cost. Most SLP boots (if not all) used YKK zips, and while I’ve never encountered a problem with any of my pairs, they did always seem cheap (considering the cost of the shoes) and drew my curiosity.
