Cartier LOVE Bracelets on Bianca Brandolini d'Adda

Bianca Brandolini d'Adda never goes out without her Cartier Love bracelets. She first had only the gold one, later she added a white gold one to her collection. I personally am in LOVE with these bracelets not only for the beauty of them but also for the meaning. If many of you probably already know these bracelets, which were first created in the 1970's, can only be opened with a little screwdriver. Giving the screwdriver to the lover for keeping after wearing it represents the love of loyalty and commitment.

Bianca Brandolini d'Adda non si separa mai dai suoi bracciali Love di Cartier. Inizialmente ne possedeva solo uno in oro e successivamente ha aggiunto quello in oro bianco alla sua collezione. Personalmente trovo che siano davvero stupendi non solo esteticamente ma anche, e sopratutto, per il loro significato. Come molti di voi già sapranno, infatti, questo bracciale, ideato nel 1970, può essere aperto solo con un piccolo cacciavite. Consegnare al proprio compagno il cacciavite dopo averlo indossato, rappresenta amore, lealtà ed impegno.

Cartier getting creative

The Marcello de Cartier handbag is something that I would describe as purely creative and also as something that I would never actually use.

However, I will tell you what I do appreciate about this handbag, and about fashion as art. Since I consider myself to be of extreme creative nature and I see beauty in everything around me and more often than not it inspires me, I also love the fact that at any moment an idea will pop up into my head and regardless of it being "good" or not, it's my idea and I'll experience extreme satisfaction in developing this idea from this crazy inspiration.

This is why I would love to say that I know EXACTLY where the inspiration for this Cartier handbag came from. When the creative folks at Cartier thought up this handbag they must have been at the actual Congo or at the Bronx Zoo at the Congo exhibit observing the Colobus monkey. The Colobus Monkey is an exotic looking animal; they have beautiful black fur contrasting with their long white mantle, whiskers and beard around the face and the bushy white tail.

The first thing that I thought of when I saw the Cartier de Marcello was ...this looks like the Colobus Monkey...
