Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting the Cartier: Style and History exhibition at the V&A Museum in London — an immersive journey into a world of exquisite design, meticulous craftsmanship, and kaleidoscopic colour. One standout? The Tutti Frutti collection — a celebration of vibrant gemstones, playful juxtapositions, and Eastern-inspired luxury that feels as fresh today as it did in the 1920s.
Cartier’s iconic Tutti Frutti jewellery — with its luscious sapphires, emeralds, and rubies carved in floral motifs — is a maximalist’s dream. It’s bold yet sophisticated, combining deep cultural inspiration with an indulgent colour story. That spirit inspired us to create a curated edit of leather bags that echo the vivid palette and playful sophistication of Tutti Frutti — think cerise pinks, cobalt blues, and emerald greens. A decadent fusion of leather handbags and gemstone-inspired hues.
Here are our standout picks that capture that same sense of joyful luxury:
Miranda Bag – Pink Croc
Bold. Feminine. Structured. The Miranda in pink croc-embossed leather mirrors the rosy rubies of Cartier’s Tutti Frutti pieces. This leather top handle bag is perfect for weddings, weekends, and everything in between.
“It’s my go-to bag for special occasions — always gets compliments!” – Charlotte M.
Leather Signature Morgan Bag – Cobalt Croc
Channel sapphire glamour with the Morgan Bag in dazzling cobalt. This structured leather handbag with its sleek silhouette is pure architectural chic. A power move in handbag form. Ideal as an elegant cross body bag or sophisticated top-handle piece.
Julia Bag – Pink Croc
Classic with a twist. The Julia’s timeless silhouette pops in vibrant Tutti Frutti pink. Whether you're pairing with neutrals or colour blocking, this pink leather bag adds joy to every outfit.
Mini Leather Morgan Bag – Cerise Pink Croc
Petite but powerful. This mini leather handbag is the cherry on top of any ensemble. The cerise hue is reminiscent of ripe rubies and summer cocktails. A must-have cross body bag for day-to-night elegance.
Leather Sabrina Bag – Emerald Green Croc
A jewel tone to turn heads. The Sabrina in emerald green croc is a wearable nod to Cartier’s carved emerald leaves. This leather handbag pairs lush texture with a practical top handle. Vibrant yet refined.

Compact, curvaceous, and irresistibly pink. The Betty Bag evokes a fruity pop and brings serious Tutti Frutti flair. With its sleek clasp and croc-embossed leather, it's playful and polished.
