Okay, so let me tell you about the time I went to the Cartier store at South Coast Plaza. I’ve always been a huge fan of their stuff – you know, classic pieces like the LOVE and Trinity collections. So, when I found myself with some free time, I decided to go check it out.
I took a drive down to Costa Mesa, where South Coast Plaza is. It’s a pretty fancy mall, if you haven’t been. I got there right when they opened at 10 AM. That place is huge, it is a project with 8 stores. The Cartier boutique is easy to find, right there on Bristol Street.
As soon as I walked in, I was hit with this super luxurious vibe. They recommend making an appointment, but I didn’t have one. Luckily, it wasn’t too busy, so they were able to help me right away.
I was mostly interested in their watches and rings, and the lady who helped me was a total sweetheart. I spent a good amount of time browsing, trying on a few things. They have everything from the classic Tank watch to the newer Panthère collection, and even some cool stuff like pens and wallets. I am thinking to buy a ring for my girl.
- Watches: I looked at a bunch, but the Tank is always a favorite.
- Rings: Tried on a few from the LOVE collection. So simple, yet so elegant.
- Other Stuff: They even had these fancy pens. Almost bought one, but I controlled myself.
This store’s design is also impressive. It’s made by this designer, Moinard B�taille, and it really captures that Orange County feel. It is a very diverse landscape. It’s like a mix of luxury and local style. Anyway, I didn’t end up buying anything that day, but it was a fun little excursion. If you’re ever in the area and you like fancy things, you should definitely check it out. The Cartier South Coast Plaza boutique is open Monday to Saturday, 10 AM to 8 PM. Remember to visit at 3333 Bristol Street in Costa Mesa.
That’s the story of my Cartier adventure. It was a nice way to spend a morning, just window shopping and dreaming a little. Maybe next time I’ll actually buy something!
