thank you livethelake!! may i ask what type of leather yours is? i find the box leather harder to open/close but the little trick is you push down on the top of the bag to loosen the buckle and then it opens much easier. i think the more you practice opening and closing it, it does get easier, but i am not sure if it's because the leather gets softer or you become more adept. i do not have much difficulty with any of mine. it is about as annoying as the extra step of the Kelly turnlock for me, less convenient than a Birkin but not impossibly so.

It's box. Truth be told, I had to call Barney's to ask the SA how to unclasp it. She told me to push down on the top of the handle and then pull the tab off the tongue :laugh:. But that works. My bag is still new, hasn't gone out of the house yet as the weather has been horrific. I guess I should practice in the interim so when I have to open and close it in public I don't embarrass myself!

I adore this bag :love:

yes i love your bag!! so special! exactly that is how they taught me to open/close it also, but push not on the top handle so as not to deform it, but the top of the bag underneath the handle, and it loosens the tab, and you can just flick it open. practice definitely makes it easier and you will get the hang of it. i love the box leather.... :love:

Ahhh. Ok, that makes more sense. I love black box too. I have a black box H Constance and the leather is very similar. I can't wait to carry the bag, it's like art to me. A very cool bag that I can see myself carrying when I'm 85 and in my rocking chair :laugh:

LOL. You have a great memory..........I am an art lover. The piece in back of the delvaux is by Tom Everhart. It is 29 images of Snoopy. (he has a pretty amazing story, you can find lots of info on him if you google Tom Everhart).

Carlinha.. You're newest additions is absolutely gorgeous gorgeous!!
You opened my eyes to the brillant mini now. It looks so darn cute cross body! It doesnt look too small either. Just perfect.
Would you mind telling me if a Bearn Wallet could fit inside the mini?

Last but not least, your pink flamingo brillant! I love love looove it!
Almost bought one myself but had to restrain myself since i already ordered a flamingo color in a different style.
Im waiting anxiously for the news that the bag is ready for purchase as its still not out yet.
I think you can guess which bag i ordered :D

I just love their customer service, always replying my email graciously and answered all of my questions. Even helping me out on getting their product since there's no Delvaux boutique where i live. Wish i could say the same about Hermes Lol!

Again. Congrats on your beauties carlinha dear!!!

I hope i can do a reveal soon. The wait is killing me..

thank you keekee!!

no the bearn wallet does not fit comfortably in the Brillant Mini, only if you place it in a diagonal, and then it takes up too much space. so i used my Calvi card case which was perfect. i had a mini makeup case, sunglasses + case, pack of tissues, keys and cell phone in there also.

i have an idea which flamingo you got, and i can't wait to see it on you either!!! :love: you will love it, such a gorgeous shade of pink!! i hope you get it soon!

and yes their CS is amazing, really loving everything so far! :tup:
