Please help identify this Cartier bag

[mochiko42]

Sooo... I bought this bag at a Cartier boutique roughly 10 years ago (2004-ish, maybe?) but did not keep the receipt or dust bag (it got lost during several house moves etc). I'd like to figure out what series / edition it is, and would appreciate any help offered to clear up this mystery - I know that there are some handbag experts here on PS!

I did try to Google it, but came up with nothing.. I don't really know too much about luxury bags and am a bit clueless about all this!

EBay is a good resource. I did a search and found this:

A good majority of the vintage Cartier bags don't sell for a whole lot, so the Buy It Now price that the seller has it listed for does not necessarily reflect the true value of the bag (often times, the value is less). That particular EBay seller has what I would consider poor feedback, so that often makes it more difficult for them to actually get their asking price. In the world of designer/luxury handbags, Cartier is not typically in high demand because most people associate Cartier with jewelry and not handbags.

Hi momhappy, thanks for the feedback and link. That's very helpful. I bought this bag on a whim a long time ago and it was sitting in a box ever since. I'm probably going to try to sell it here in Asia and get a few hundred dollars back. Beats sitting in a box in the store room for another decade!

I think that you'd be lucky to get a few hundred bucks from it, but best of luck on your sale
