‘Carti Buffs’ is a Detroit-based slang term for Cartier sunglasses. ‘Carti’ is an abbreviation of Cartier, the luxury brand that produces the glasses while ‘Buffs’ denotes the Buffalo horn from which the arms are made.
These glasses have long been a status symbol in Detroit, and often the wearer partakes in criminal activity due to the high value of the item (can range in the thousands of dollars for a single pair). Additionally, they are a target for theft, so being able to wear the glasses in a dangerous area is a symbol of street credit & lack of fear from repercussions.

Get the Buffs mug.Once the main clubbing venue (that mantle now belongs to the Irish Club) for Mount Isa Queensland, this once rowdy and loud club is now a place of family gatherings in the main dining area, a place where loners usually drink at the back bar area where the footy is usually on, this quiet little club has the best Rump steak in town, free pool tables and a cold as fuck pokies area, a deck where you can witness some of this towns biggest wankers thrash their rigs at the lights
