Just bought my wife her first Delvaux! Was a lovely shopping experience in Bond St, staff super friendly and chatted for ages about the different leathers the house uses. Ended up with her dream bag, Tempete in MM in "dream" leather, burgundy degrade colourway. It's a push present so won't be able to reveal for a while! Really is a stunner!
Your best bet is to call the new New York flagship and ask about the range of prices for the Madame model. There are many leathers to choose from, bi-colour models, different hardware tones, etc.
Good luck!
I mistakenly started a separate thread... This has probably been discussed, but I'm new to Delvaux and will be purchasing soon. But I'm horribly torn between the Brillant and Tempete in the GM or MM size. I know they are quite different, but I can't decide. Anyone have both and can give some pros and cons of each? This will be my daily bag for work. Thank you!!
What a lovely dilemma! First, the size. The GM sizes of both models are quite large, and would be difficult IMO to ever use cross-body. I prefer MM or minis myself, but it depends of course on your body shape, height, and what you need to carry. Second, the model. Again, it depends on your work environment and even your location. To me, my Tempêtes feel more formal, more corporate, while the Brillants are just a touch more casual, and maybe feel a bit younger. The hardware is more apparent on the Brillant, so if you feel you need to match your hardware to your jewellery all the time, the Tempête may be better for you. Nothing like trying both models on to see which suits you best.
Good luck in your decision!
I looked at the Mini Brillant and it was just too small. Tight squeeze to get in all my daily stuff (iPhone, wallet, sunnies, Keys, business cards). Did not seem that practical. The East West Brillant was much more accommodating. I love delvaux. Way better quality than most lux brands.
Hi everyone, first time poster- I just bought this Delvaux bag from a consignment store in Brooklyn- its the Le Mutin (the smaller version) and its new with tags and I am really wondering if I should just resell because it was like 90% off

Hmmm...I’m wondering why you bought the bag if it didn’t really appeal to you. Were you just seduced by the price, or do you really love it?
Are you asking if you should resell because you think you’d get a higher price than what you paid, thereby making a profit? If yes, have you researched the price of this bag on the resale market? Have you calculated your costs to resell? Please be aware that Delvaux resale prices are not as high as for other luxury brands because it is less well known. Also the Mutin is not one of their iconic models, and the colour of this one is not neutral, and not a true red, perhaps making it less appealing on the resale market. Lots to think about. Good luck with your decision!
I bought my first Delvaux last month, so i’ve gone through a similar process recently. In addition to what others said, I should note that the Brilliant is the Delvaux classic, but is known for being annoying to opening and close due to the buckle. You will need two hands to open and close it, while the tempete has a push button under flap where you can press to open the flap and push the flap into the closure mechanism to close, so you can reach into your bag with one hand. I’d say that’s the main difference for me, and why I went with the tempete style in the end.
Ladies! Can I ask about the UK/EUR price for Delvaux Brilliant Mini /and mm size please? Much appreciated.
Did you go to both boutiques in Brussels? I went a couple of years ago, and recall that one of the boutiques had a lot more than the other. The selection was far more extensive and varied than the selection in my country (the US) at the time, which was before Delvaux opened its NYC store. The only option here was Barneys.
And while nothing was on sale, the prices in Belgium beat US prices by a lot, and were the lowest I found in Europe. They were even lower at the Brussels airport store, which is where I finally found my black Tempete MM with gold hardware (the boutiques in the city were sold out, but helped me reserve the bag I ultimately bought to pick up on my departure). Anyway, for me, shopping for Delvaux in Brussels was a wonderful experience. The stores were lovely, the salespeople were very helpful, and I managed to find my holy grail bag at a very nice discount.
