French luxury brand Cartier is known for its watches and jewellery, but its homeware objects – such as scented candles and blankets – are also highly sought after for their whimsical yet elegant designs.

The Cartier Characters and Panthere Tropicale collections celebrate the sunny beach vibes of summer. Items such as striped porcelain glasses and trinket trays come in soft pastel hues and are emblazoned with the house’s motifs, such as the panther.

Both collections are available on Cartier’s website and in its boutiques at Ion Orchard, Ngee Ann City and Marina Bay Sands. Prices start at $480.
