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.

They were both truly amazing, but you bought the one that is not only a work of art but usable :congrats:

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.

Hi! I do like the pin swing a lot, it’s extra roomy, lightweight, easy to hand hold, crook of arm, shoulder and crossbody, and is comfortable to wear in any configuration. I can see it being a good functional/practical bag. It’s def medium-sized, will hold a lot if you need to.

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!

Quick update on this, just in case it’s useful for anyone in the future!

The bag insert is cute, good quality, and seems practical. I do have to say though it’s quite a thick material *and* the measures are smaller than the actual inside width of my Tempête as you’ll see on my pictures, so it does reduce the available storage space quite a bit inside the bag.

I probably won’t use it when I need to carry lots of things, but it should be able to fit my essentials, while offering a good protection for that delicate leather.

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!
