Hi everyone, I have just got my first Delvaux for my birthday yesterday! I got a coolbox nano, it is absolutely adorable. The sweet SA wrote me a birthday card too. 
Let's talk Delvaux!

Went to London for the first time in aaaages and had a blast in the boutique checking out some bags. As always service was impeccable and personal so we ended up getting the new SoCool PM in tan. Beautiful leather as expected, so soft to touch and smells amazing, I’m always so impressed with the quality of craftmanship, every detail is just perfect. Oh and I got myself a little cardholder. I really wanted to buy the men’s north/south tote in khaki and black but unfortunately the whole
Magritte thing doesn’t resonate with me so the wait continues for the brand to come out with something I can get on board with. I also heard that a new designer has been appointed and will be releasing a new line for SS22!

So glad you had a nice Delvaux boutique visit. Congrats on your lovely purchases.
Good news indeed about a new artistic director. Can’t wait to see what will be on offer. Fingers crossed that the quality will still be there and that the brand’s DNA will be respected.

Thank you! They always make us feel so welcome and this time we took along our toddler who decided to have a semi meltdown on the carpet and they were so relaxed about it all. It’s very enabling though! They mentioned earthy tones so I look forward to seeing how that translates.
Why do I always get a deep worry-line on my forehead every time someone tells me a brand has a new chief designer/Creative Director?
It could literally go either way…I guess the great thing about Delvaux is they only really have a few handbag styles and for me their price point is too high to consider any of their more out there products. I will always be drawn to a solid colour rather than a neon or heavily embellished (and not in a nice way) bag. I would love to see the new CD introduce new bag styles that are clever, well designed and innovative. Hermes does this so well but Delvaux being a predominantly leather goods House should be better at this in my opinion. It’s interesting to me why a CD is necessary really at Delvaux, I mean there’s only so much one can do with a handbag no?
Couldn’t disagree with you more about the need for an artistic director at a handbag company.
To me a director is essential to guide the overall vision of the firm, decide colours and leathers, design special collections, etc. This is what sets high-end, luxury companies apart in addition to the impeccable craftsmanship of the artisans, and outstanding customer service. A company like Delvaux with several iconic models (Tempête, Brillant, Madame) presents even more of a challenge to keep the vision fresh while respecting the DNA of the firm.
Up until Christine Zeller left, Delvaux produced 2 collections/year, each with a different theme and colourways, plus special editions released for the holidays. This kept the products interesting and clients coming back for more.
I’m keeping an open mind about Delvaux; fingers crossed that the brand will remain recognizable and that quality won’t suffer. Cynical me sees a dumbing down of the designs, a decrease in quality, and a slew of new brand ambassadors. Time will tell.
It’s called wisdom from past experiences… depending on the brand it might border on PTSD…
As a Bottega Veneta lover from Tomas Maier era that worry-line is real!
When Maier left BV, I had to take to my bed for a week!
