I know Kellys are impossible to find in store, but the waiting list is so long! I feel like just the time could make me go for a Delvaux instead.

Anyone own a tempete? I'm interested to see how it compares with the Hermes Kelly in terms of quality and weight.
Hi ladies, I have a Kelly 35 and I actually had it with me when I went to Barney's last week to try the Tempete GM. The Tempete is slightly smaller than the 35 but bigger than a 32. Quality was great, beautiful bag. I definitely want one in the future. Hope this helps

+1, totally agree, carlinha! Thanks for the full article.
Thanks for the article
but this bit doesn't make sense to me:
"those made of grained leather (often called saffiano or sellier), which is less sensitive to wear and tear than smooth calfskin. (The latter looks beautiful but scratches easily.)"
i think they mean the pebbled/grained leather (ex. Togo/Clemence in H terms) vs smooth (like Box) is more durable, generally speaking?
i don't know what she means by saffianio/sellier though...

Saffiano is a stuff scratch/water resistant treatment i believe prada popularized it. I have a saffiano wallet. Just grabbed a wet paper towel to clean up a yogurt spill on my wallet.

It might be what she meant that's not how it reads.
Why not just write stamped leather (which is what Saffiano is). These leathers have been around forever with different types of stamps and are specifically for durability (and covering possible slight imperfections on the skin).
Sellier mean saddler. Hermes is a Sellier. The Sellier H Kelly shows off the saddler's stitch. As far as I know (and I could be wrong) there is no actual hardy Sellier named leather (although there is saddle leather which is hardly scratch/rain/dirt proof). Hermes make their saddles from various leathers/leather treatment as do most real Selliers.
The article is not as knowledgeable as most of the ladies and gents here everyday on tPF but it is very interesting as case study of how the media try to make out they are at the forefront of things already happening.
A very nice ode to the Brilliant this article has a very clear subtext born out of troubling psychological motivation. In so many words she's written she'd bought her Bal before 'you' all did and no one knew (we all know now although we only have her word) one would think, that if someone would be outraged their bag would become mega popular they would give it so much publicity :sunnies. What she's doing with here with her Brilliant is saying 'remember, dear readers, I bought one before you all did'.
Delveaux have been trying for the last ten years to become part of the fashion force so in that sense it's great for Delveaux. I've had a Delveaux bag (in stamped leather) for about 4 years I find it easy to use and the quality excellent. I do think it makes sense for people who would like a forever bag for everyday to buy Delvaux, but just like others in this thread the mere mention of 'It bag' or even 'it brand' (even when denigrating the 'it bag' ) promotes the phenomenon and links it with the associative image above/below/next to the headline (in this case a Brilliant).
Hello! I wanted the Delvaux brillant bag for some time now but I do not have a chance to see it in person until I order... I had some Questions to the Delvaux Brillant MM owners:
1) Is the bag easy to open and close when carried?
2) is it light or heavy?
3) can it be carried across body with its long strap?
3) Does it look ok when carried across body or is it too bulky?
Thank you in advance!
