Cartier Silk Twilly Bandeau "Panthère in the Jungle"

Features

Why we love it

Description & history

Tied in the hair for a trip to the beach, slipped around the handle of a wicker bag for a sunny terrace, or wrapped around the neck over a white dress: this pink and blue silk twill Cartier "Panthère in the Jungle" bandeau is the perfect summer touch — light, colourful, with an exotic motif that takes you away before you even leave.

The "Panthère in the Jungle" collection is one of Cartier's most iconic silk lines — the Parisian house founded in 1847, world-renowned for its watches and jewellery, has for decades developed exceptional silk creations that extend the house's iconographic universe into textiles. The jungle motif — dense tropical vegetation, exotic animals, lush fauna and flora — is a constant in this universe, featured on 90 cm scarves and silk twill bandeaux. On this pink/blue bandeau, the crocodile and heron unfold against a backdrop of fuchsia pink and royal blue tropical leaves, with caramel accents: a composition that is both graphic and narrative, catching the light differently depending on the knot and angle.

In good overall condition. The silk is clean, with no stains or odour. One small pulled thread is present — consistent with the B− grade and with no impact when worn. Silk twill must be dry-cleaned only. Sold without original packaging — a Cartier silk bandeau to transform a summer outfit in two seconds.
