My Tempête on a gorgeous summer dayIt's fast becoming my go-to bag.
What a beauty! Great find on ebay, congrats!
I actually purchased this from the main Delvaux boutique in Belgium. Thanks for the compliment 😀

Lucky U!
Ah sorry. I should have paid more attention to the replies. I love how the hardware does not stand out as much with this color. I have a black Tempete MM with black hardware and now I am considering this color combo too. It looks so feminine with this color combo.
No worries! I wanted the "So Black" GM at first because I am a guy but opted for this color. I just have too many blacks. I think it works well with my wardrobe. Have you seen the Fall blues and greens. Really nice!😀
Yes, many nice colors to choose from. They are also coming out with the givry mini now which is still not available last time I checked. It would make a nice casual bag.
I've bought several Delvaux bags and never had a quality issue. You do however need to baby Delvaux bags if you want to keep them in good shape. The leather scratches easily (not only the box calf, but also the grainy leather). Therefore I don't use my Delvaux bags as everyday bags. I love the Louis Vuitton canvas for everyday use, because it's indestructible. A long time ago I did use a Delvaux bag everyday, but it looked terrible after about 2 years. The bag had lost its shape and the leather was scratched and at some place, the color had faded away. This wasn't the brilliant, but a trendier, less expensive. The classics could be more durable.
That's very useful insights. Thanks jennifer-j. I'm thinking of buying my first delvaux when I travel to Paris next week. I'm looking to buy a brillant in a bright color but would like some advice on MM versus GM. I'm quite tall (5ft 10"). Also should I buy sellier or box calf leather. People on this thread seem so knowledgeable and dare I say have great taste. Would love to have your thoughts. Thanks in advance.
I bought the GM in box calf! And absolutely adore it!... [emoji7]
I prefer the GM because it looks better on me than the MM, I'm 5ft 8" and I'm 33 yrs old. The GM looks younger, more casual...
About the box calf, I'm well aware it's more vulnerable than sellier, but it looks just so adorable and bags made in box calf maintain their shape. While sellier tends to slouch...
So it really depends on what you're looking for...
Good luck deciding!

Thanks so much LadyDelvaux. That really helps. I'm 43 but favor anything that's younger :giggles:
Will let you know what I decide. Out of curiosity, what color is your box calf GM brillant?
