The mini Tempete is adorable!!! But it's definitely small. The PM size would fit more of the things you want, and maybe be even more versatile? The mini Brillant, unfortunately, is really difficult IMO to get anything in and out. The iPhone fits but because of the bags shape, you really have to work around it.
Back in 2017, I was wandering through Brussels and saw a large store (in a mall, the mall had a long corridor with windowed ceilings/sky lights if my memory serves me right) displaying beautiful handbags I have never seen before. It piqued my interest and curiosity, but my husband was hungry and had just gifted me a bag recently, so I kept quiet and moved along. Huge regret. It took me a couple years, but I finally have put the pieces together and now I know it was a Delvaux store. It was the Brillant design that initially grabbed me. So understated, chic, and simple.
Thank you all for the pics and info in this thread. I need to do more research and see if and how this bag can fit in my life. After reading this thread, my hesitation is the buckle. I have 2 Kelly bags, and I find it a bit cumbersome getting in and out of on a daily basis. Some say the Brillant buckle is worse. That would be a no-go.

I think the brilliant buckle is easier than the kelly!!!! It's most definitely easier when not in box leather tho, the grained is flexible, and just one hand works beautifully. If Delvaux only made a few more styles - an open top double handle, a brilliant PM size, etc etc I would just sell every other bag I own and move over
I THINK it's my soul mate bag brand...hoping they pick back up with great collections after all this mess with COVID. I know it took a toll on the brand, which was already small and niche...
Anyone else waiting for their Eye Catcher to come in? I'm so excited, I'm expecting mine soon and I can't wait to take it shopping with me! I wish the stores were open though so I could go in and see the accessories to get for my bag.
Me. I sort of have a small collection of the summer PVC bags -- I love this one so much. I was very disappointed in the past two summers with the bags that looked like they had coats of armor.. This one is so pretty.
Me! I am super excited but understand in the US its an August delivery... I think it would be perfect for Summer beach/pool days too
Has anyone had issues with yellowing of a patent tempete? I’m considering the micro tempete and the only options appear to be either patent or calf. Although I’ve contacted them to see if other custom options might be available.
Ah, your question is making me nostalgic! My first Delvaux purchase was about 10 years ago - a mini Madame in rouge pourpre patent leather. She still looks fabulous with no discolouration or change in leather quality.
Good luck!
The store you described is in the Galleries de La Reine in Brussels.
I would do the the Tempete PM. The mini can fit all those pieces you mentioned. However, it'll definitely be a little snug..go for the PM size its perfect from day to night as well
Its not a small bag so itll look big even if you youre 5"9.. lol...it is a big hobo bag
