I used to work for Cartier and I was consigned a Marcello. I must say that I LOVED that bag. The quality was on par if not better then some of the well known handbag brands. I can tell already from photos that Cartier has outdone themselves with the C de Cartier. You can see the hand stitching and quality of leather and handles. The only gripe I have is that the heat stamp alone leaves me longing for a little more brand recognition. A small Double C charm would have been a nice finishing touch especially since they are a jewelry maison, however the bag is stunning!
