Let's talk Delvaux!

[Lala-purse]

Hey ladies,
I was wondering if someone can help me deciding Brillant size, my choice was mini but I wasn’t sure as I find it too small (and MM too big).
However i called Delvaux boutique and SA informed that delvaux will release PM size by the end of this year or early next year. I am thrilled, I think that is the perfect size for me. I don’t carry much, just iphone, wallet, keys, lipbalm/tissues.
I bought Tempete MM and regret that, never knew they will release Pm shortly else I would have waited.
I want to wait for PM size, but I am not sure if Delvaux will increase price and that wants me to buy mini before the increase.
My question is will Brillant PM look appropriate for a formal night time event?
Also is Brillant hard to open/close (in grained leather)?
Thanks

Yeah the navy is quite a dark navy. I think I may have a picture...They have an awesome red which has some coral shades to it. I would wait and hopefully they come out with a brighter blue at some point!View attachment 4814375

Thank you so much @Searno29, this is really helpful!
You have just confirmed my guess regarding Navy, I will wait for the brighter blue to come and hopefully finger crossed.

Asking here as well. I am considering creating a co-branded sub for Delvaux and Moynat, would this make sense to combine these?

Vlad, I comment on both threads and feel both are small and welcoming enough to stay just as they are I'm not sure either have enough traffic to support independent subforums. Also, both feel really small and supportive and that can be lost with a bigger forum. I think @LavenderIce said it best in the moynat thread

For those of you who own the tempete in PM and MM can you tell me what fits in both... I tried to read back quite far but didn't see much. I am consider black with phw PM but want to make sure I don't actually need a MM haha

What do you typically carry? I have both. The PM is just right for essentials, phone wallet keys chapstick lotion hand sanitizer. With the MM I can fit in some diapers and wipes with the above.

I carry a couple of hermes and moynat card/coin cases. 2 phones sometimes a small makeupcase and sunglasses, keys

 

[apeachy]

In that case I'd say MM. In a PM I could squeeze a coin purse, card case, keys, and sunglasses (in the case) but there wasn't any room to fit a small makeup case. That was before my phone but it would probably be a tight fit.

Hello Delvaux lovers!
Here is a report of a recent shopping trip to the Delvaux boutique at Le Bon Marché department store in Paris, just a few weeks after the store reopened.

I was finally able to travel to Paris from my home country after an absence of over 9 months, 4 of which had been spent in lockdown. An order had been waiting for me since April at Delvaux. Although my visit to the boutique was only about 20 minutes long, shortly after opening hour, I took a quick look at the new So Cool tote in 3 colour combinations (very soft and squishy), and the limited edition denim collection (Trench, Cool Box and Pin models), for those who like fabric bags. Otherwise, new season merchandise was not yet on display, and stock seemed low, normal for the end of a season, with the exception of a good number of Pin bags. Various models of box calf bags in coral and lilac from the Spring/Summer 2020 collection are very beautiful - the leather just glows. There will be a pop-up exhibit of miniatures in September. My SA will keep me posted about other fall season events, and I put in a request to reserve a couple bags.

As gift-with-purchase this time, I received a novelty item that will be a souvenir of the COVID-19 era: a mask holder! It is a long, black wallet, with a fold-over flap that snaps. It is made of heavy paper, hot stamped Delvaux in gold, and all materials can be sanitized and are recyclable. Inside it contains 2 sections for flat masks of the surgical variety, separated by a plastic divider. Unfortunately, the holder is too long for the smaller handbags I favour. Sort of sad that we need this new type of handbag accessory.

It is my impression that retail business is on its knees in Paris. Nevertheless, there were modest lines to get into the LV and Dior spaces to respect social distancing measures. No shoppers at BV, Chanel or Gucci at 11:30 a.m. - rare.

I read (and own) both brands, but I prefer the threads separate. Makes it easier to find stuff on new items etc.

Also, both feel really small and supportive and that can be lost with a bigger forum. I think @LavenderIce said it best in the moynat thread

Vlad was not talking about combining threads,

but creating a section just for Moynat and Delvaux so that we can grow the section and, if they take off create new forums for these brand/s.

ATM Moynat and Delvaux are not big enough to go it alone, so Vlad was asking if you thought there would be enough new threads and subject matter to do a combined section (sub-forum).

I haven't seen the info on here yet, but Delvaux launched an ecommerce both in Europe & in the US in the last few months Great news for the ladies/gents who don't have access to a physical store, since they are quite rare

Just seen this on their insta stories and confirmed on their website. Never heard of this Santiag leather but I think it looks awesome and I love the colour! Anyways thought you might like as you were looking for a lighter blue!

Thanks @Searno29, I was contacted regarding this, but I turn it down as the leather is Nubuck, I perfect it in Taurillon, its easier to take care of. Such a shame, its a beautiful colour and what I am looking for.

Ohhhh I see, yes fair enough. I asked my SA for more information on the leather as I'm quite intrigued by it but it has to be carefree for that type of bag (in my opinion)

Will it be okay to share it when you find out more information on the leather? would be interesting to know.
I totally agree with the Pin daily, it has to be carefree! Thats the reason I want mine to be Taurillon leather.
