I am not getting one! I like the pin daily much more but these are cute for smallish/ everyday bags I would assume! Call the boutiques ... I am sure they can send pics?It is still not on the website yet

Does anyone know if Delvaux change their box calf a few years ago? It seems from the photos and videos of older box calf Brillants that the box calf used to have a more natural finish - i.e. it didn’t used to have a coating on it that makes it more scratch proof, albeit more plasticky looking.
Delvaux works with 10 types of smooth leathers. Verify that the bag you are looking at is box calf or is one of their other beautiful smooth leathers. I’ve not noticed a “plasticky” look for Delvaux leathers, but recognize that is subjective. Good luck with your choice.
Thanks for the reply. Yes, it’s a box calf Brillant. Maybe “plasticky” is not quite the right word choice. It feels like there might be a fine coating on it to protect it from scratches.
An update, I ended up getting the box calf illusion tempete not the Magritte one. The main reason is the Magritte one had what felt like a really delicate smooth leather on the outside and the SA confirmed the first time using would cause a lot of scratches. Plus I had sat on the purchase of the illusion one for a while and I couldn’t forget about it- that is a sign you really wouldn’t regret a purchase. I thought about never owning a Magritte one, knowing the outside is so delicate and I feel no regret. Here she is. She is stunning, also included my growing small Delvaux collection- a lime green box calf cardholder and clouds Magritte leather twilly.
Hey I purchased some recent box calf items without experiencing older box calf. The current box calf does indeed feel very durable, I’m not afraid of scratches if that helps. It also feels possibly water resistant but knowing box in general I’m going to try to avoid haha
Hi! I’m having a little dilemma trying to decide between two bags. I’m quite indecisive and was wondering if I could get some thoughts/opinions. I like both bags for different reasons. Cool box nano (pictured in pacific but want in vegetal) for its cuteness factor and the pin swing (mistral) for uniqueness and practicality. I currently don’t own anything from Delvaux, this would be my first piece. Appreciate everyone’s thoughts!

I’m probably biased because I have had an endless love for the cool box since the first time I saw it. I simply love everything about it. Plus it looks absolutely fabulous on you! And I LOVE vegetal too, so that’s a double win in my book. So as long as the cool box is big enough to hold what you need, I would lean toward that one if I had to choose. But they are both fabulous if you ask me
I have to agree with hillsidegirl. I tried the Cool Box nano in person and was so tempted to buy it but didn’t because it was similar to my Loewe mini Puzzle. The zipper on the Cool Box is innovative, and I like how the D makes an otherwise casual purse look more elevated. Because it’s soft and boxy like a camera bag, it can fit a lot for its size. The Brillant and the Cool Box are my two favorites from Delvaux.

Thanks!! I went back and checked out the cool box nano in person again and it’s definitely ❤️ I have the bag on hold but I think I will pull the trigger. Thanks hillsidegirl and cctpurse for your thoughts!
Hi, can you share your thoughts on Pin Swing? It looks quite roomy, is it comfortable to wear and use? I have my eye on it as my first Delvaux too, I really like two straps.
Thanks.
