I saw her on display (at the NY store) and couldn't resist the grey! It's spacious yet light, chic and very versatile at the same time, such an easy and great travel companion to have!

Ohhhh!!So very beautiful!! Is it user friendly? I am looking at a pre loved one like this to purchase.
Always enjoy taking this beauty out.
From model/influencer Camille Rowe’s Instagram:
Hi everyone - I am deciding between the Brilliant Mini and the PM. I am 5'7" and like to hand carry but also have a crossbody/shoulder option. Space wise, looking for wallet, phone, lip stuff, a little pouch with essentials, etc, but I care more about the look of the size than how much it can hold. In addition, the one I am considering is box calf - is maintenance challenging? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Recently got a Delvaux card holder from the South Coast Plaza Boutique! Love it so much—noticed that Delvaux uses the same inside lining as Moynat’s Gabrielle and Rejane Lines. Must be from the same tannery. But anyway it pairs perfectly with my current favorite bag 
Just wanted to share my beautiful, new-to-me, vintage Delvaux beauty from 1953! I love so many of Delvaux's present-day designs, especially their Magritte collection, but the vintage styles...the leather, the craftsmanship, and the unbelievable condition you can find some of these bags in today (especially this one!) make me weak in the knees. 
I purchased from MyDayDayBelgium, who is such a nice seller to work with. IMO they take such meticulous care in acquiring and preserving the bags (and their history!) that they sell. I am summarizing a little of what they wrote to me about its history and provenance:
This one is called the Venus, born under the Master Craftsman Monsieur Dooms as part of the Delvaux Winter collection the same year Queen Elizabeth was crowned and Stalin died. The question was posed to Delvaux whether the name Venus (goddess of love, beauty, harmony) was intentional, given the events of the year, and they could not confirm (or deny! 😏). The bag belonged to a family whose grandmother used it exclusively for special occasions (namely Sunday mass). The daughter (now in her 60s) had fond memories of secretly playing with it, since it was essentially forbidden fruit that she was not supposed to touch!
Just so tickled to own this little piece of history. I love the stories and memories that our handbags accumulate over the years.
