If Cartier’s Panthère Was a Bag…

It might be logically impossible to turn a magnetic panther into a bag, but Cartier has always swept us off our feet in its way of making such dreams come true. This iconic creature that marked many chapters in the Maison’s journey ushers in a new era, one that takes from a bag with a trapezoid shape, finely grained leather and jewel clasp as its new form of expression. The original and creative heritage of Jeanne Toussaint still reigns supreme, as she was the first to adopt this motif at Cartier in the 1940s.

The precious clasp taking the shape of a minimalistic bangle featuring a graphic panther head certainly captures our attention with its realistic flair and purity of lines, but what’s imperceptible is the slight undulation along the flap resembling a true feline movement. The fusion between excellent leather good craftsmanship and the unparalleled jewelry expertise brought to light this “Grand Maison” bag that oozes femininity and sophistication. Both its small and mini models, whether in black, cherry red, green or pale pink, carried by hand or worn over the shoulder, are faithful to the magnetic personality of the Cartier woman.

And besides the possibility of personalizing this design, what makes it even more covetable is Cartier’s making sure to preserve its responsible approach by respecting human resources throughout the supply chain and the environment in the production of leather materials. A new Cartier marvel in every meaning of the word!
