The New Designer Bag Everyone Will Covet in 2019

If you can't decide between your love of jewelry and your fixation with bags, we're pretty sure we found your ideal dream buy. Cartier just released the new Guirlande de Cartier bag collection inspired by its iconic jewelry box, and it's bound to be one of the most coveted pieces for 2019. If you follow Aimee Song, Jenny Cipoletti, or Natalie and Dylana Suarez, you've likely already spotted the stunning red version, but don't be surprised if a lot more It girls get their hands on the bag next year.
"More than just a bag, Guirlande de Cartier is the very essence of a Maison infused in a formidable
form with eight clean-cut facets carved into luxuriant supple calfskin and stamped with a gold frieze," Cartier explained in a press release. As for how to wear it, a few stylish women have some ideas: Song wore hers with a Rixo star-print dress while Cipoletti teamed hers with a leather miniskirt. Meanwhile, the Suarez sisters wore their Guirlande de Cartier bags with cool trousers. Scroll down to see how everyone styled the new Cartier bag and to shop the beautiful collection for yourself.
