CARTIER 18K YELLOW GOLD BAIGNOIRE MODEL W8000009Though officially released to the public in 1957, the Baignore finds its origins decades prior. In 1912, Louis Cartier himself conceived of a case based around the idea of two straight parallel lines closing into a pair of connected parentheses, with the end result resembling the look of a bathtub (or baignore in French). The finished product was gifted to Cartiers top client, Grand Duchess Vladimir of Russia. Sadly, as she was one of the last members

Though officially released to the public in 1957, the Baignore finds its origins decades prior. In 1912, Louis Cartier himself conceived of a case based around the idea of two straight parallel lines closing into a pair of connected parentheses, with the end result resembling the look of a bathtub (or “baignore” in French). The finished product was gifted to Cartier’s top client, Grand Duchess Vladimir of Russia. Sadly, as she was one of the last members of the Romanov family to escape Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution, the watch was lost to time.  

However, the legacy of the piece managed to reach through to the second half of the 20th Century, and 45 years after Louis Cartier gifted his unnamed creation to his dear friend, the Baignoire collection was introduced to the public. The watch featured a rounder, more ovular case, and the Roman or Arabic numerals that circled the dial were stretched and collapsed in accordance with where they fell on the curves, lending the face of the watch a surreal, Dalíesque appearance. Also added to the piece was an electronically powered quartz movement, bringing an invisible air of effortless modernity to a timepiece with roots in a time long passed.  

This example of the Baignore line from the 1990’s features an 18 karat yellow gold case that houses an ivory dial and curves ever so slightly to fit the wrist of the wearer. The burgundy leather strap adds a rustic edge to this elegant, quietly historic member of the Cartier stable.

This is a gorgeous pocketbook. You will enjoy it.
I absolutely love this pocketbook. It’s roomy enough for everything. I know some people said you could put a laptop in it. I do not see that really happen unless it’s something very small. The stitching on the sides of it prevent it from opening very wide, I love the color of the leather. I think it’s beautiful for the fall and winter months. I would definitely buy it again. I feel it’s a good value for the money.

A roomy leather tote
Color: Coffee, Color: Coffee
Firstly, the color of this bag was something I’ve been looking for awhile. I like that it’s structured and is just the right size to carry a lot of items without being too big. I was also impressed with the amount of pockets. I was going to buy a Portland Leather bag but learned they are unlined. Well this has lining. The stitching looks pretty decent, too. If you are looking to buy a leather bag for a good price, I’d pick one up now before tariffs kick in on leather goods!

Very Nice For The Price
Color: Nude
I wanted a plain neutral colored clutch purse to carry at a wedding. This was one is inexpensive, but does not look cheap. It will easily hold a lipstick, compact, small hair rush, and my phone. It comes with detachable chain that you can use if you want to, but I think it looks more dressy without it. I am sure this will suit your needs if you want a decent clutch purse that doesn't cost a lot of money.
