Now that the nyc shop is open, the secret is out. Delvaux is going to get super hot, more expensive and more common. Bummer. I was enjoying obsessing over a brand virtually unknown in these parts.
Not sure I follow your logic. Delvaux has limited production, and is a high-end, luxury brand. Increased availability in one market is unlikely to have an effect on prices. It didn’t when they expanded into the Asian market. Don’t think the brand will ever be common unless Delvaux decides to expand production by opening more factories. So go ahead and enjoy obsessing.
I think it’s going to take awhile for delvaux to make much headway in the saturated high end luxury bag market in the US. I’ve been in the NY store several times. The bags are lovely and look very well made, the SAs are very friendly and knowledgeable, the store is nice and spacious and it’s a ghost town. Bags i’ve Looked at are still there months later. I overheard one of the SAs muttering to another about how he hoped they’d get more foot traffic now that the Apple store renovation was finally finished next door. I think the store is well worth a visit and hope they do develop a more dedicated following in the US.
I hope you are right. In my area, it’s not uncommon to see women carry the Hermès birkin to the gym, Every teenager carries an lv, Chanel or Hermès. So while the Hermès production of the birkin is limited, it’s still a regular part of many women’s closets. I.e. I have never seem a Delvaux on anyone but me. Based on the influencers focusing on the bag more and the new U.S. store, I expect things will pick up in the market soon. From what I can tell from YouTube videos , in Asia , many girls who have bag collections and make videos seem to include the brand in their repertoire.Not sure I follow your logic.

I got this card from Dealvaux
The SA thanks me for my purchase, and DH and me are always welcome there even for a glass of champagne.
I let the bag ( the Tempete) being seen in Hermes and Dior. My SAs admitted her high quality of artistry.
This brand has stolen my heart.

Both of their stores in London were like this every time I've been there also. So much of what they sell is via text/ remote clientele who don't have the opportunity to go into the stores. They do have a lot of back stock though, which I have found to be advantageous when looking for something! (Chanel does too by the way, and hermes, etc). It's also like walking into say, Chopard, looking for a watch they produced 3 years ago and being so happy they still have stock left (I did this a couple of months ago). They are not in it to kill the handbag market, or take over, just to have a presence as an alternative to those wanting something nonconforming.
Also the price points are pretty high, and they don't have a full spectrum of products, so those coming in are mostly target shoppers. They have gone from I think 18 stores to 44 in the last few years, so that also does say something. The brand's profits are increasing which is good.
Lastly, I guess you can always tell the popularity of a brand by the amount of super fakes out there. I had to call TRR last week and tell them YOU HAVE A FAKE BRILLANT FOR SALE on your site! It was pretty convincing too. Thankfully they took it down.
Ouch. But yes I guess you know the brand is hot if it’s worth faking.
A couple of Madame Chaine PM. My first Madame’s and wow. I LOVE them! Perfect size. And slip pocket in the back is awesome for a large phone. Closure is seamless. Ordering more of course. And on the side, don’t forget to get Delvaux from Barneys sale!!! Going out of business!

Any opinions on nubuck (how does it wear, color transfer issues, etc.)? I have my eye on a pre-loved Givry in nubuck that would be my first Delvaux bag. Thank you.
