Introducing the Guirlande de Cartier, inspired by Cartier’s iconic red jewelry boxes and the art of leather making. The spirit of the maison takes shape in this bag made of thick, supple calfskin cut into a geometric form of eight facets outlined with a golden frieze.

Cartier first launched jewelry bags in the 1910s and clutches in the 1960s. The Guirlande de Cartier collection showcases three sizes — mini, small, and medium — in four different colorways, including red, black, green, and camel. The handbag features an adjustable and detachable strap and can be worn over the shoulder or as a clutch.
