The Panthère de Cartier
PANTHÈRE C DE CARTIER
If the panther were a bag, it would be this one, from its sculptural lock to its curved, feline lines.
One bag, one style, one panther
The panther's imprint is absolute. There's what can be seen: the precious, black-flecked clasp that holds the attention. And there's what can't be: the idea of an imperceptible feline movement, a very slight undulation in the shape.
Everything you need to know about the Panthère C de Cartier bag
Firstly, the curve of its lock, its volume, its C-shape with a profile accentuated by black lacquered markings, all of different sizes, adding a sense of life and movement to the animal. A collaboration between the designer and jeweller that required an ongoing dialogue from the first mould to the perfect form.
