Let's talk Delvaux!

[Keekeee]

BEAUTIFUL! worth the wait! How does the ostrich compare to the Hermes one?

Is this a custom order?

Thank you my dear..
No its not custom order. Its SS15 collection. I believe last season delvaux produced Flamingo Tempete in Micro size (ostrich) and Flamingo Tempete MM in calf leather. I've been told that my exact bag (Flamingo Ostrich Tempete MM) will be produced less than 10pcs worlwide. Only 9pcs i think. Mine is the first one they produced.
So its not custom order but its kinda exclusive [emoji16]

Comparing delvaux ostrich to hermes hmmm... I think they're pretty much the same quality.. Only hermes one is more moist if that makes sense..

Will try post close up side by side pic later for you..

What a special piece! Congratulations!!! Enjoy her in good health.

Thank you my dear... Im playing favourite right now. I brought miss flamingo to my local Hermes store the other day and even the SM complimented my bag. I guess its the color.. Its just such a happy color.. Its bright but its not bright neon color IYKWIM..Very similar to Hermes rose lipstick but in ostrich version.

Perfection and such an excellent addition to your pretty family

What a sweet words.. Thank you papertiger dear [emoji8]

Its such a happy color.. Dare i say.. The color makes my Fuschia Ostrich B a little bit dull in comparison [emoji28]

Talking about size, Tempete MM is actually a tad smaller than i thought. Compared to my K28 sellier, Tempete MM is teeny bit smaller.. Though it still fits a lot: my Bearn wallet, karo PM make up pouch, my iphone and charger and my keys.

Just want to share my happiness..


PS: My heart and prayers for Kokomo, Carlinha dear.. such a brave boy!!

oh dear keekee, congrats on your STUNNING bag!!!! i really love the flamingo pink of Delvaux, i know what you mean that it is just a happy color, bright pink but not neon, not too light, not too dark, it is really perfect... and the ostrich is WOW! you made the right choice selecting it for sure!!

have you seen the Rose Indien color for FW15/16? What are your thoughts?

also, what do you think of the Tempete style, is the closure OK or more difficult than Brillant? would love to hear your thoughts!

p.s. thank you for your thoughts and prayers about Kokomo

Thank you thank you my dear, i just knew you would approved

Yes i think i've seen the Rose Indien FW15/16, its kinda darker shade of pink. I honestly think its a pretty color, but i think it comes in silver toned hardware only right? Not light gold tone like the flamingos. It kinda makes the bag looks hmmm too cold for my taste IYKWIM.. Cant really put my finger on it..
But then again, sometimes pics dont do a bag justice.. So i'll reserve my comments until i've seen the bag IRL eventhough unfortunately, is a slim chance, since there's no delvaux boutique in my country [emoji20]

My thoughts about the tempete style is: I LOVE IT.

Its more "user friendly" than the Brillant style. I find it easier to open and closed. Even easier compared to Kellys. You just need to push the metal lid up and it'll snap open just like that. Closing is also quite simple. Though you need to practice a bit to know exactly where the closures are located, so you know where to press..

FYI Tempete MM is slightly smaller than Brillant MM though. So Brillant MM is roomier.. But i dont carry a lot, so i can easily use my Tempete MM as a day bag: fits Bearn/Dogon wallet, Karo pm (filled to the brim with make ups), my iphone, iphone charger, medium size baby wipes, and a set of keys.

Also i like the placement of the strap on Tempete better. On Brillant, the strap goes undernearth the flap, somehow it makes it kinda awkward for me to use my Brillant with the strap. And doesnt look pretty with the strap on.. It kinda hmmmm looks a bit awkward..
So i very very rarely use the strap on my Brillant..

While on tempete, the straps are attached beside a loop on each sides of the handle (just like kelly). It makes the bag looks more appealing too in my opinion.. (Compared to Brillant with the straps attached).
The strap on tempete is not adjustable like the strap on Brillant though. So you can not adjust the length. But im pleasantly surprised that the length is just the perfect length for me. So it worked for me but may not work for everyone. Depends on your height i guess.. Im 155cm btw..
Also because tempete MM is smaller and thinner than Brillant MM, it is more comfortable to wear cross body.


I hope that answers your questions dear..
Let me know if you have more to ask [emoji6]

P.S: Im super glad to know that Kokomo is recovering well..
Well done Kokomo!!!

Hi Delvaux Lovers,
I will be visiting Brussels soon, I wonder if the price of Delvaux Brillant MM will be lower in Brussels. Any one know how much Brillant MM is in Brussels? How many % of tax can be refunded?
Thanks a lot!

I went to Brussels at Christmas time and then to Paris. I compared the prices between the two places and it was around 300-400 euros more in Paris. Brussels has two stores

Hi,

Does anybody know how much a brilliant bag charm would cost?
Many thanks..

Just learned about this brand at my local Barney's ands fell in love with a black micro Tempete! I am hesitant to spend $3000 USD on such a small bag though...
