The popular Double C De Cartier bags get a refreshing update — and here's what it looks like

The Double C de Cartier handbag collection by Cartier is expanding. First launched in April, the flap-style design welcomes the addition of trendy chain strap designs and new colourways.

Like its predecessor, the newbies, which will hit stores in September, are similarly structured and constructed from quality calfskin leather with a vintage-tinged metal clasp made of interlocking C in tone-on-tone lacquer.

However, unlike the classic vibe of the OGs, the gold-finished chain and two new dreamy colourways of capri blue and mint green (on top of the existing powder pink, red and black ones) make the new Double C de Cartier decidedly more youthful.

Add to the equation how the chain designs appear on two models – a mini version available in all five colours and a small version available in red and black – and you end up with the perfect bag rotation in your wardrobe.

The mini Double C de Cartier chain handbags are available in colours of black, red, powder pink, capri blue and mint green.

Alongside this range of new bags, the other additions to the Double C de Cartier collection are matching small leather goods that can be personalised with your initials or a date hot-stamped in gold foil or engraved on the interior mirror.

Perfect gifts we say.
