Not sure what you mean by “Delvaux doesn’t seem to showcase their older/retired models very much.” The iconic Brillant, Tempête and Madame are all models that have been around for decades. They appear in different colours, leathers and treatments in 2 collections/year. Delvaux has a museum in Brussels, open to the public, that showcases their vintage models. When the COVID pandemic dies down, the museum is worth a visit.

I mean on their website rarely if at all mentions the models other than the ones that are still being released (Brillant, Tempête and Madame). I used to think the lines featured on their website were the only ones they have always had, and then I saw a vintage Delvaux that looked like a bucket bag (it has handles shaped like 'D's, quite cute) and didn't realise Delvaux used to make other models too. I didn't know about the museum but it should be pretty fun. Thanks for the bringing it to my notice!
Hmmm.. the bucket bag you reference is on the website as part of the standard collection. It is called Le Pin, comes in different sizes, colours and leathers. Then there is Mutin, a great casual cross-body bag, and CoolBox, a model that was introduced in the last 3 years, plus various tote bags and travel duffles. A whole Delvaux world for you to discover!
For anyone who collects Delvaux PVC bags, the 6th in the series is out! Called the Eye Catcher, it has pretty, bright colours and an optical design. Part of the proceeds will be given to COVID-19 relief.

Sorry, I don’t know as I don’t collect the PVC bags. Delvaux is still providing online customer service. Why don’t you contact them directly with your questions?
The price is $1550 and it the GM size.. if you are in the USA.. we will be receiving only 30 pieces at the NYC boutique once we reopen after the pandemic. They will not be making as many high tech pieces as they did last year.. this is such a beautiful piece...I hope everyone stays safe and healthy.. Hope I was able to help...
Best,

Not sure if you guys have checked out that Delvaux is launching online shopping! They have slowly been adding selections over the past week or so!

Thanks for sharing. It really hurts to see that the prices have dropped! I bought my mini brillant in black box calf leather for €3500 in 2016 in Belgium. And now these styles are listed at only €3290! It’s sadly one of the worst “investment Bags” I ever purchased.
Unfortunately I think that because of currency valuations and trying to stabilize with the US, etc, AND with the global economy crashing, they are just trying to stay afloat for now
I'm a little obsessed with the pochette, it's Chanel WOC but fun

You’re right. But that means they have been overcharging people the last few years when they were trying to play catch-up with Hermes and Chanel. I really feel like being cheated now, as I remember that I thought it was really very expensive for a mini bag at the time I bought it. However I was in the mini bag trend at that time so I went ahead to buy it. To be honest, I still like the bag, but I seriously think it’s not worth the price I paid. For those who like this style, maybe it’s the best time now to get it especially in MM size. They were sold at €4600 in the Belgium stores the last 2 years. Although, I will not be buying any more bags from them after such an experience.Unfortunately I think that because of currency valuations and trying to stabilize with the US, etc, AND with the global economy crashing, they are just trying to stay afloat for now
One of the reason I love Delvaux is because they really listen. The prices are set and product launch happens.. They then ask for feedback from associates, just so we can let them know what is working and what isnt. Even though their pricing is in line with the craftsmanship.. Some clients (in the US especially) felt a bit intimidated as the brand is fairly new to the US. They were able to do a small reduction within a couple months of having requested feedback. I know it sucks having a bag that was one price 4 years ago and is now a bit less in 2020, but you have a beautiful bag, that you will wear for years to come and that you may be able to hand down one day...Hope this helps. Stay safe and healthy.
Best,
