It’s that time again! Getting the itch to shop. I’ve been eyeing this bag for awhile now. What do you guys think? I love the unique design.

I have the MM and find it really easy to open and close, one handed in fact. I don’t carry a lot so the weight of what’s inside doesn’t sag the bag open; it’s easy to simply grab the buckle and the strap and just thread the strap through and pull up. The catch seems to slot into place in the strap and it’s closed.
I like it — it’s like an art piece but at the same time due to the colors it’s quite wearable and not too loud. It’s very architectural.
This design is from the F/W 2019 collection which had the theme of leather worked as fabric. This example is masterful, and is displayed nicely on the Tempête model. Very bold graphic design.
Hikarupanda - I would not worry about the closure, it’s easy after you are shown how to open and close. I usually wear my bags crossbody and have no issues getting things in and out of the bag.
Thank you so much for the feedback! I may have to learn to adapt because I just love the style
Its so much easier to open once in a crossbody style.. for the brillant, just lift the flap until the buckle pin comes free. For tempete, just click the closure clasp on the underside of the flap..and whola...lol
I am thinking of buying a Tempete, however it’s hard to work out what the leather is as they’re almost all listed as “calf leather”
Is this leather similar to swift? It looks lightly grained and a similar sheen to my swift Kelly that I adore.
Thanks for any assistance

Hi there,
Questions for those owning a Brillant - can you provide insights regarding box vs. grained (sellier?) leather? The color I'm interested in is Black in the size MM. Both look amazing (in pictures online), can't decide which to get.
I'd like to use the brillant as an everyday bag. Would box leather hold up?
Also does the box leather bag keep its shape over time? They look kind of smushed in the side view on some of the pre-owned bag websites. But they look great in the other views.
Anything else to consider in box vs. grained leather for the brillant?
Thanks in advance!!

Box leather is sublime, but scratches/scuffs will be more apparent. If you’re looking for an everyday bag, you might be more satisfied with a grained leather. As for the bag keeping its shape, it all depends on whether you stuff it when not in use. All leathers will relax a bit over time. Delvaux quality is impeccable, and they guarantee their bags, so you can put your mind at rest that you’re purchasing a quality product.
Good luck in your decision!

pples,The tempete is calf skin with a lightly smoother appearance. However, you are correct, skin is very lightly grained. Delvaux calls it Calf Souple. It is a souple leather soft to the touch with a texture inbetween the grained (Rodeo leather ) and the smooth leather ( box calf ). I hope this helps. I have sent a photo upclose and further away of the tempete for you to see...
