It should come as no surprise that the timeless elegance synonymous with Cartier extends through their Panthère de Cartier collection of accessories. With immaculate construction and versatile design, the handbags, in particular, are leather goods meant to be handed down through generations. The real excitement begins once they leave the shelves and enter the closets of those whose personal style can give them a new life. In the hands of the Coveteur staff, each bag takes on the identity of its wearer (without renouncing the Cartier charm, of course). Our Creative Director pairs his Top Handle Mini Bag with a single earring and Tabi loafers, whereas our Head of Sales styles her small chain bag with a daring red lip. Ahead, discover how an array of our team translates these classic accessories into their own wardrobes.
Talun Zeitoun, Head of Brand, Editorial & Creative
“I like to think of the accessories I wear as structural support to my outfits: they should be durable, withstand the test of time, and artistically compliment the looks they’re bracing. A classic top-handle bag becomes the foundation to carry the rest—for me, that’s being able to jot down ideas at any moment with a timeless pen, embodying a sense of quirk with a pair of Tabis, and, of course, emanating free-spirited love wherever my day takes me.”
Ama Kwarteng, Beauty Director
“When it comes to accessories I look for simple yet elegant pieces that accentuate my personal style, and act as the perfect example of form and function. (And, yes, that includes makeup, too.) An investment piece shouldn’t just be wearable, but as a part of your capsule wardrobe, it should also be rewardable, moving with you from outfit to outfit through each and every season.”
Leya Kaufman, Head of Brand, Publisher & SVP of Sales
“The fashion icons of the 1990s still inspire my everyday office look. I gravitate towards the classics: tailored blazers, red lipstick, gold jewelry, and structured black handbags with edgy details. The black Panthère de Cartier chain bag is the perfect complement to any meeting look or a desk-to-dinner outfit.”
Camille Freestone, Senior Style Editor
“The brilliance of beautiful accessories is that suddenly, your ensemble of a white T-shirt and blue jeans becomes a beacon of elegance—without feeling too fussy. A structured ladylike top handle bag injects boyish separates with a much-needed dose of femininity (bonus points for the scarlet hue). And then, of course, I don’t go anywhere without my Cartier Tank Française, the perfect bridge between masculine and feminine.”
