You can buy satin cord in a variety of colors (and also in silk or polyester) from jewelry supply stores and Amazon and likely pick any color you want?

Was hoping to switch out my inadvertently selected Barbie pink for something else in AMS this week, but I can hold on a bit longer. I do wonder what the business decision for this was - influencers recording themselves getting cord changes weekly? This is why we can’t have nice things.

Sure! Although I’m not sure they’ll do it for you and I don’t trust my skills enough to do it myself. Lol

SA said she believe it was to streamline the color offer - some boutiques carry colors others don’t, and the company wanted to have consistency.

ETA: I wonder if the boom of the bracelet over at TikTok played a part, too. Maybe it wasn't feeling exclusive enough anymore? I don’t know.

I asked if you can bring your own colors and they would change it for you- you cannot. You can only choose from the colors in the store. Not sure if you can change them at home or if it “voids the warranty”

Texted my hi sales associate to see if she could put a few bright ones aside for me. I have a couple from the Vendôme store in bright colors that I’ll hold on to for a while I guess…

It’s unfortunate for us regulars who have had the bracelets for years. But… I can see it becoming a hassle for some SA’s. Folks spend $800 once and expect a lifetime of free cord changes 😂 probably ask for Champagne while the .04 c cord gets changed

No pink. That’s a shame. I was considering getting one but with the steep price hike and now this, I’ll pass.

I contacted Cartier Germany yesterday regarding the colours and the lady told me from now on there are 6 available: green, red, blue, gold, black and pink.
Seems weird to me that they would keep pink in Germany but not in other places, but idk

Cartier vendome still has all the colors - changed out cord because we have no boutiques within a few states (left coast). I asked for an extra and was denied. If you are in Paris, go crazy.

Interesting, thank you for sharing :tup:. Do you remember if you saw a multi color cord?

Does anyone know of a you tube video showing how to tie these knots? My bracelet knot came undone. I don't have the time to go to the store so I am trying to do it myself. I can't believe I can not figure this out! I feel so freaking stupid lol!
