Finely crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Cartier’s latest launch, the Panthère de Cartier handbag, incorporates the mastery of High Jewellery design into the bag’s construction. The Maison’s iconic panther emblem is reimagined on the clasp, taking the shape of the golden-hued letter C in a manner that is both streamlined and graphic. The use of black lacquered spots in varying sizes gives life and movement to the feline motif, with every component hand polished to augment their luminous qualities. Marlin Yuson, artistic director of the brand’s accessories design studio, worked closely with the High Jewellery sculptors to perfect the shape of the clasp and ensure artisanal excellence.
Available in two sizes, small and mini, this “Grande Maison” top handle bag comes with a complimentary shoulder strap for added versatility. Its trapezoidal shape is unique and eye-catching, while its structured gussets and handles make for a luxurious sense of sturdiness. Fine and responsibly sourced European-made leather is finished in a Palmelatto effect, resulting in a wavy grained texture and sheen. Available in four colour options: black, cherry red, pale pink, and green, the Panthère de Cartier is a seasonless marvel that exudes a distinctly elevated savoir-faire.
Panthère de Cartier, Cartier, $3,200.
