Questions About Buff And Hensman
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023
    To tell if Cartier Buffs are real, examine the Cartier logo on the arms, ensuring it is in the French fashion house's correct italicized font. The lettering should be gold-colored and evenly spaced. Then, look for the trademark double C logo on the nose pads. Authentic Cartier Buffs, which get their nickname from their white buffalo horn frames, usually have Cartier trademark information printed on the inside of both temples. Because many convincing replicas exist, you may want to have your sunglasses evaluated by a licensed appraiser or experienced dealer to determine whether they're authentic. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Cartier sunglasses.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023
    The number of Cartier White Buffs that have been produced is unknown. The white buffalo sunglasses referred to by this nickname aren't a limited edition style. They have become a status symbol largely due to the influence of Detroit-area hip-hop artists who sported and rapped about the sunglasses during the early 2000s. Part of the appeal of the eyewear is that white buffalo horn is a rare, luxury material. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of Cartier sunglasses.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024
    Yes, some people consider Cartier buffs a Detroit thing. The association between Michigan's largest city and Cartier's buffalo horn sunglasses comes from the many Detroit-area rappers who have sported and rapped about the eyewear. They include the likes of Tee Grizzley, Big Sean and Royce da 5'9". Although buffs are linked to Detroit, they have also come to be connected to hip-hop culture as a whole. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of Cartier sunglasses.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023
    Yes, Cartier makes White Buffs. The nickname "White Buffs" was given to the brand's C D�cor sunglasses, which feature sleek frames made of white buffalo horn. These sunglasses are widely coveted and are especially popular in the city of Detroit, Michigan. In fact, rapper Rich Ken paid tribute to them in a song called "All White Buffies." Shop a large collection of Cartier sunglasses on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    Cartier sunglasses are called buffs because of their materials. Some of Cartier's eyewear designs contain buffalo horn derived from Asia and South America. Although not all Cartier sunglasses feature the material, the name often gets applied to all styles. Shop a variety of Cartier sunglasses on 1stDibs.
