Must de Cartier Bordeaux Suede and Leather Bag with Clutch Strap (1970s–1980s)

An emblem of timeless Parisian elegance, the Must de Cartier Bag is a vintage creation from the late 1970s to 1980s, crafted in sumptuous bordeaux suede with smooth leather trim. The front panel is adorned with the signature double “C” Cartier monogram, embossed within an oval medallion—an instantly recognizable code of the Maison.

This particular piece is offered with its original clutch strap only, as shown in the photographs, allowing it to be carried by hand or on the wrist for a refined vintage look. The design features a front zippered pocket, a spacious main compartment lined in Cartier’s signature fabric, and an additional interior zip pocket for organization. Gold-tone hardware adds warmth to the deep burgundy hues, while the compact format makes it ideal for day-to-evening versatility.

Stamped Cartier Paris on the inside, this rare piece reflects the quiet luxury and enduring craftsmanship for which Cartier is celebrated. A true collector’s treasure from Cartier’s golden era, it embodies both daily elegance and historic significance.
