Fine accessories by Cartier
In 1920s, vanity cases became a must-have accessory of a stylish woman. There were several sections inside them for keeping a variety of items, i.e. mirror, powder, lipstick, and perhaps dance cards – that is all the necessary things for a woman, which might be of need at any time and must be at her fingertips. Vanity cases became the symbol of the Art Deco style.
