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!

1) Speaking for myself, it's not the most convenient bag to get in and out but it's not bad either. I would say about a 6 on a 1-10 scale. The only complaint I have is I'm sort of heavy handed so I feel like I always pull it too hard when I try to open the bag, therefore creasing the leather (I mean it'll happen with wear anyways, but just saying). With that said, I love mine :smile1:

2) The bag itself is pretty light

3) Here's a product information page with strap length: http://www.lanecrawford.com/product/delvaux/-le-brilliant-mm-box-calf-satchel/_/OJJ781/product.lc#lc-product-fit-styling

Thank you so much for answering my questions and for sharing your beautiful Delvaux family. ;o) The bags are so beautifully structured.

You helped me make my decision. Since I like to have my bags with easy access I think I will try their Tempete MM first. The closure seems to be easier to manage and looks like you can keep it open too when carried...

You're welcome! I'm glad I was able to help :smile1: Tempete will have better accessibility but I think you would be very happy with either. They're so beautiful and well made! I can't wait to see your reveal!

Hi ladies, would anyone be willing to share an opinion on this Delvaux bag, which is apparently from 1984? I love the look of it, and could totally see myself carrying it a lot in fall and winter, but don't know much about the brand, then or now (although this thread has helped a lot with the now part). There are obviously some scratches the listing doesn't mention, but overall, does this seem like a good price? Does the bag look authentic? Would it be possible for me to authenticate it, and if so, how? Given what I've read here, should I worry that the bag might be too heavy?

I owned a Delvaux bag purchased a couple years ago when Barneys started carrying them. I forget the name of it but it's a current style: single short handle with round buckle flap closure.

It was impossible to open with one hand and quickly went up for sale on eBay. It was a gorgeous bag and it was over $5k.

I think the bags are in general a bit overpriced. In my opinion, the bag you're looking at on ebay is also overpriced. It should be under $1k.

I'm basing this on nothing but opinion. Good luck!

Overpriced! You can almost get a new one for that price.

I agree with Antwerp. Look at the ones on the Barney's website for comparison. You could always wait for a Barney's sale or call around to their many outlet locations to see if they have any discounted. Good luck!

Many thanks, all. I'm definitely going to wait, look at the Barney's website, and also see if I can check some out in real life.

Like others said, it is definitely too much. Just for comparison I purchased an older model small cross body Delvaux bag (maybe 2001-2005) last year on ebay for $200. I hope you find one that you like at a good price!

Maybe it's just my personal preference for national French brands (I think my collection is accidentally all French!), but if I were to go for a top-handle purse with a silver closure, I'd spring for the Moynat Rejane over the Delvaux Brillant.

Does anyone know if Delvaux has changed its dust bags over the past number of years (like H has done)? On ebay, there are bags with two different types of printing on them and I was wondering it one is clearly fake.

Indeed, Delvaux has changed their dust bags a while ago. In fact the wole branding changed. The logo used to be a crown, now it kind of resembles a tree (but you can easily see the former crown in it). The crown was printed, the tree is embroidered...

Hi, has there been a price increase for delvaux mini Brillant recently? Anyone knows how much does it cost now? Thanks in advance :)

Unfortunately Delvaux also increases their prices every season. I don't know the exact price of the brillant mini.. But the price of the Brillant GM here in Belgium just went up from €4350 to €4650...
