Vintage Cartier Leather Key Holder c. Late 1980s Black Burgundy

The oval Cartier double C logo is embossed into the centre of a black leather
front panel, framed at each corner by silver-tone flourished protectors — a
signature detail of the brand’s late-1980s to early-1990s small leather goods.
The exterior is paired with a contrasting burgundy leather interior, visible
along the edges when closed.
Inside, a single compartment is lined in smooth burgundy leather, fitted with a
silver-tone key ring and clasp for secure attachment. The absence of external
logos or visible hardware engravings lends an understated character, with the
focus on material quality and discreet house codes.
This key holder is typical of Cartier’s leather accessories from the era, when
the maison favoured minimal branding and precise metalwork, echoing the elegance
of their jewellery lines. The combination of black and burgundy leather, along
with the sculptural corner hardware, reflect the brand’s late-1980s design
language. No interior label or heat stamp is visible, in keeping with period
production practices.
Accompanied by the original Cartier box. Light surface wear to the exterior and
gentle patina to the hardware, consistent with careful use.
