Surprise!
Cartier doesn't like hats that spoof the brand's scripted logo by
repurposing it as an insult derived from a slang word for female
genitalia. According to the Daily Beast, a Parsons grad student
originally made two "Cuntier" beanies as
a personal gag because some people at a Cartier store were being mean
to his friend. But then he started to produce a handful more because
people seemed to think the caps were funny enough to buy. Cartier, ever in touch with reality, responded
by sending the student a letter demanding he stop, and thereby proving
the original point that Cartier is, of course, not in the least bit
stuffy and does not take itself too seriously at all. The baffled
student reportedly acquiesced, making him less litigious than the
fashion satirists behind other renegade brands like The South Butt andChewy Vuiton.
