Collections Named After Two Pivotal Figures of the Maison
Jeanne Toussaint and Louis Cartier were emblematic figures who laid the foundation for the Maison as a high jeweler and established the Cartier style in the early 20th century. These new collections are inspired by these two individuals, embodying their sensibilities.
The Maison's pursuit of beauty and meticulous attention to detail, evident in its jewelry and watches, remain unwavering in its bag creations, and this collection is a testament to that legacy. The leathers used are processed by the finest tanners in France and Italy, with all pieces made in France or Italy. Skilled artisans, adhering to traditional techniques, meticulously cut, sew, stitch, shape, polish, and dye the materials, masterfully highlighting the allure of the finest leather.
Jeanne Toussaint was a pioneer in bag making and a muse to Louis Cartier. The women's "Jeanne Toussaint" collection is characterized by clasps adorned with obsidian and chains crafted entirely by hand, reflecting the Maison's jewelry-making heritage. The lineup includes chain bags, tote bags with shoulder straps, and chain purses, offering a blend of beauty and practicality.
Louis Cartier, the architect of the Cartier style, was a bold creator and an adventurer in the world of art. The men's "Louis Cartier" collection draws inspiration from his dynamism and passion for travel. Crafted from luxurious matte natural leather, each detail, from the shaping to the stitching, showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of the artisans. The collection features elegant items such as document holders, briefcases, and 24-hour Boston bags, bringing sophistication and confidence to the business world.
Furthermore, three models from the Jeanne Toussaint line (chain bag, mini tote, and chain purse) are available for semi-customization. Customers can select from five categories, including materials and metal finishes, to create their own unique piece.
