Cartier bag thoughts?

I saw the Pantere De Cartier in small and I am now obsessed. It ticks every box in everything I want in a branded handbag but I WFH mostly now and don't need another bag. I love it. I bought the 6 key ring holder and zipped 5 credit card holder in calf skin. Both of which I have in LV with almost identical design. With the crazy price increases in LV, I wish I had taken notice of Cartier's leather goods sooner. I can hardly find reviews or write ups on their bags and SLGs.View attachment 5343983View attachment 5343983
I seriously love this and am so tempted to add it despite my rather crazy bag collection! My only Cartier hand bag is probably considered vintage now. It's a Cage de Cartier in their signature red, which I tend to carry to Cartier events. :-)
 
I just purchased my first Cartier bag, the small top handle Panthere de Cartier, to go with my bracelet. I love how light this bag is and how easy it is to open and close. The workmanship up close looks really good. I also really like how the adjustable strap is long enough to go crossbody. I hadn’t even thought about Cartier bags until I read this thread so thank you to everyone who posted!

Wow it has back pocket! One of the musts when I like a bag. It looks it has some traits of a Hermes box calf Kelly (not that it should).

I purchased the mini Panthere de Cartier and the card holder which fits nicely inside the mini. The craftsman ship is outstanding and the best part is- the strap is removable and it also is long enough to wear as a crossbody. I might have just talked myself into getting the one in green next!

Possible to ask for a mod shot of this mini?
 
I have the mini version in black. I love it!! The mini fits everything that I would need for day/night. It’s beautiful in person
Thanks!
Oops off centre but I did try on. The mini has a good capacity however I don’t like how the sides pop out (thus the whole bag shape). I prefer the proportion of the small, though I didn’t try it (because it was shelved way too high beyond my reach and I was too excited to try other things in the store lol). I think it has a very very clean and elegant look.

Hello! What size is your burgandy Cartier bag? I’m trying to choose between the mini and small, but there are no Cartier boutiques around me so I would be ordering online.

That’s the exact bag I am eyeing. My store had this in black, green, cherry red and classic red. The classic red is this darker red one, the cherry red was a lighter pinker red which although pretty, wasn’t the color for me. I’ve seen the bags in my store but didn’t really pay too much attention until recently. Too busy buying the jewelry I guess. But this is my exact vibe, elegant and simple. Reminds me of my Valextra bags, which are similar. And since I haven’t bought a bad in a good long while, it’s about time to add one of these beauties to my closet.

Same! This is my vibe and I’m eyeing the green one. I’d love to see more owners post pics.
