Felines and Cartier bags
The panther is the emblematic animal of Cartier creations, from jewellery to watches, and also reigns over leather goods. The animal first appeared at Cartier in 1914 in the form of a spotted motif on a women’s watch, and it gradually made its way into the world of leather goods, where it enhanced the allure and style.
Whether figurative or abstract, the panther becomes the subject of designs that feature jewellery work and combine - among other things - diamonds, onyx and sapphire.
In 1925, Cartier presented a pouch with a clasp featuring a spotted pattern. On another 1960 model in gold lamé fabric, the presence of the feline is duplicated in the form of sapphire and diamond panther heads arranged at the ends of a gold and platinum closure system. The following year, Barbara Hutton commissioned Jeanne Toussaint, Creative Director at Cartier, to create a bag adorned with a three-dimensional tiger clasp and a diamond N, the initial of its delighted recipient, Princess Nina Mdivani. A strikingly elegant creation that heightens the Maison’s long-standing passion for wild animals. less
