Cartier Launches Clash de Cartier Bag with Jewelry Clasps

other · 2026-09-08

On September 1, 2026, Cartier unveiled the Clash de Cartier bag, a unique leather accessory that combines the artistry of jewelry with practicality. This bag is adorned with two jewelry clasps on each side of its handle, inspired by the iconic studs from the Clash de Cartier jewelry line, which was launched in 2019 and is celebrated for its geometric elements, beads, and clous carrés. The clasps allow the bag’s envelope-like shape to transition between a soft, relaxed form and a more structured silhouette. Available in three sizes, it can be carried by hand, under the arm, or slung over the shoulder. Crafted in Florence from premium naturally grained leather, it promises a luxurious patina with time. Offered in black, caramel, and burgundy—this last hue nods to the Must de Cartier collection of the 1970s, marking the brand's entry into leather goods. Vogue featured the bag in its 'Just One Thing' series, with styling suggestions including a silk Cartier scarf casually tied around the handle.
