Loving this new clutch model! Can’t wait to see what they do with it in exotics! 
Final spam all! Here she is on her holidays with her brand new H twilly! I am obsessed with her and so ready to buy some more Delavauxs!
Hi! Has anyone US-based worked with a EU-based SA to purchase items recently, if they still allow that despite having a US website? The blue this season is really tempting me, but the price difference between EU and US is holding me back from purchasing locally
Unfortunately, your purchase request will be sent to the NYC location. (I've tried w/re a rare, sold out in the US bag.) The SM told me all US sales must come from US store. It is annoying that the prices are so different. I used to buy from Belgium regularly.
Reveal!
I just received this small Brillant. It needs some TLC and I will send it to Leather Surgeons as soon as I get a quote.
I’m curious if there is a way to date it. Also, is this box leather?
It has no strap and suede lining if that helps with dating.
The buckle appears silver, but the little D charm is gold. Does this likely mean the buckle was originally gold?
Thanks!

Hi!
Contact stores in London. They will glad ship any bag if in stock to the USA with vat free too. The UK still offers vat free whenever they ship outside the Uk and bonus… it’s the full value! Only shipping charges for DHL applies should be when I last checked , 25-40 pounds. Please note, you do have to pay the US import fees when DHL is ready to deliver the parcel. I believe don’t quote, it’s 10% import taxes. Happy shopping. It is so much less expensive to get Delvaux from Europe /Uk now. DM me if you want my contact in London.
Hi all! I just found this new product on Etsy: an insert for Tempête bags! https://www.etsy.com/fr/listing/1270294651/flannel-bag-insert-bag-organiser-pour
I decided to order one for my Tempête PM to see if it's any good. If anyone's interested, I will share my thoughts once it's arrived!

Need help deciding! My SA told me there is a Margritte Tempete available but I’m also eyeing this box leather illusion Tempete also available. They’re very similar with my perceived pros and cons below.
illusion Tempete MM: pros I love the whole look, box leather, white trim, matte black hardware, cons: inside is plain tan
margritte Tempete MM: the cloud inside is the selling point, otherwise I saw one in person and the leather seems rather delicate not box and no matte black hardware
Would appreciate help: does anyone know if delvaux matte black hardware is prone to chipping/easy wear?!

See page #176 for a discussion of matte black hardware.
I vote for Magritte version. The lining is so special and I think the white trim on the Box version makes it less year-round or all-purpose.
vote for the cloudy sky lining, unless you like to throw pens and half-eaten snacks in your bag, which would totally ruin it.
Just to let you know both the black and white matte hardwares age in a similar way since they are both coated hardware.
So an update on the illusion box bag. Actual photo below. The hardware is more of a shiny black than matte, does this make any difference with the wear? Also there are some marks on the hardware and leather already from being on display, are these easily wiped off?
Nope, coated hardware will wear over time same for matte and shiny. It’s just due to the reflective surface, I feel you notice the scratches a bit more but that might just be me. Best to ask your SA to wipe down the bag so that you can see how it will be before leaving the store.
