History

Cartonnier is an in-house label from Anthropologie, launched in the early 2000s to focus on refined, feminine silhouettes with a global, vintage-inspired sensibility.

Known for soft tailoring, romantic blouses, dresses, and textured fabrics, Cartonnier blended classic shapes with subtle bohemian detail.

The brand became a staple for polished, artful dressing that felt thoughtful rather than trend-chasing.
