I wear mine everyday. Unfortunately the cartier boutiques in toronto charge a fee to change the cord but everytime i travel i get it changed. The silk cord is really great quality and holds up very well.
I have had many colors over the years from baby pink to the classic red to various shades of purple and now im on a black cord. Have never had the issue of the cord looking gross or discolored.
That's reassuring to know... Thanks [emoji41]
