Cartier bag thoughts?

I don't have a Cartier bag, but I know they've been making them 'forever', I've seen Deco era minaudieres made of precious metals and gems. The ones I've seen are very comparable with some of the premier brands, say Saint Laurent.

I adore the Guirlande, esp the mini in red, so cute.

My favourite are still the ones with precious hardware, best of both worlds.
