We frequently add new holes to leather straps for our clients, adjusting them to their perfect height. Among all the brands, Cartier bags present a unique challenge. Their leather is notably thicker, requiring three times the effort to punch through. Each time, my face flushes and my hands ache, as if I've just run for ten minutes, leaving my arms feeling a little weary. - One day, out of curiosity, after punching a hole in a Cartier bag, I kept the "remnant" piece. Comparing it with remnants from other brands, I was astonished. Cartier's leather is more than twice as thick as that of typical bags, and the hole size is also larger than usual. This explained why, as a woman, each punching session felt so strenuous. However, please don't worry. Our main artisan usually handles this, and I only step in occasionally. So, after choosing a Cartier bag, if you find the shoulder strap too long, please don't hesitate to ask for an extra hole. - Vintage Cartier Bucket Bag [Dimensions](W) 23 cm (H) 27 cm (D) 15 cm [Condition] Good overall condition with normal signs of leather wear (more noticeable at the corners and base). - Before each pre-owned handbag is sold, it undergoes a four-step restoration process by our professional artisan: 1) Deep Cleaning & Stain Removal 2) Surface Scratch Repair 3) Hardware Re-polishing 4) Leather Conditioning & Shine Application Restoration aims not to erase all traces of time, but to honor and continue its historical narrative.
