Thank you very much for your help. very much this embellished buckle, but i also think that the box calf will be very scratched.Do you know how rodeo leather deffers from taurillon? I havebackpack LV from taurillon leather and not so much like, because the corners were quickly erased on the backpack. Soafraid that tis rodeo leather can be the same like taurillon.
To be fair all leather will show signs of aging, which is to be expected. The taurillion leather from LV is a high quality full-grain bull calf. Depending on how hard you are on your bags, the same may happen with a Delvaux so it is important to manage your expectations.
 
I’ve been thinking about getting the cool box nano in ice lin as my first delvaux bag, any thoughts on this bag?


I would love to see it in person first if anyone has a SA at SCP they could share with me!78BD7A7D-DBE8-4AFE-9BAA-811C3F696B98.jpegFC839B20-2002-479E-8CA5-5B178EBB924C.jpeg

Hello, I have this bag but in vegetal. It is one of my most used bags now. I think it is the largest "nano" bag I know of. It fits my phone so that's a real plus. I can also throw in my card case, coin pouch, key pouch and hand sanitiser. Sometimes if I don't mind a bit of a squeeze I can also fit in a small pack of wet wipes lol. Overall, it's a really functional nano bag! I love the minimalist and simple design, especially the hidden zip. The crossbody strap is adjustable too.

Thank you for the review! I’m glad to hear it’s one of your most used bags despite being a nano! It sounds like I found my replacement for the h mini lindy :biggrin:
 
After lusting for Tempete for a year I suddenly fell in love with Brilliant. But dealing with that (gorgeous) buckle... Can you just leave the bag open when you carry it by the handle or do you have to close the buckle so the bag doesn't lean and things fall out? Thank you.
You can leave it open if you don’t carry much. I just don’t think it‘s aesthetically pleasing if worn in that way. I have the mini and I don’t find it difficult to open and close the bag at all. No need to worry about the buckle, it’s made to last, just like any waist belts we wear. It gets much easier to open when the leather softens up with regular use. Mine still looks pristine after 4 years, it’s not my daily bag though.
 
Dear all, I had been considering a Tempête for quite some time but was very specific on my specs which is why it took me longer to decide. After missing out on the British Green Crispy Calf PM, I was lucky to purchase it last week when it got restocked (or returned). The bag arrived today and it is stunning. However, given I have no experience with this specific model and its construction, could you please let me know if it is normal for the glazing to crack where the flap and the sides connect? I am not planning on excessively bending the flap backwards of course, but wonder how prone it will be to glazing wear and tear given this is an unused bag. Appreciate any input!

My SA said this is “normal” and inevitable. To be fair I’ve even seen some like this in the store… (someone mentioned this happening to their tempete in the thread a ways back).

However you can reach out to your SA to see what they say! I’m ocd with how I bend back my flap and so far I haven’t had this happen to mine yet.DF56A94B-9859-48C7-959D-33D604FD5953.pngDF2BE6FC-FE32-45DA-B48A-D744AEDF0299.png

Thank you very much, Christofle. I appreciate your input. There is no Delvaux store in my country, so the only worry would be potential hassle to get any severe cracking fixed in the future, be it normal or not. It is good to know that this may indeed happen due to the way it's constructed.
I recall reading about the member's issue way back when first going through this whole thread, but thought the cracking had been much worse than mine and thus considered an anomaly. I'll reach out to Delvaux customer service just to understand my options. I don't think I will return the bag as it is absolute perfection otherwise and exactly what I was looking for.
