Off-topic - the "British version" for gents, Swayne Adeney Briggs. If I was a man, I'd fall for them I think...

THANK YOU for the link and info. That's DH's b-day present sorted!
The brown one is Coquin and the white is the brillant. The brillant is the 'Kelly' of Delvaux.
They have some great multicolor and flashy colored bags for the summer!
reviving this thread........
seems like lots of posh shops are carrying Delvaux now and i'm really tempted to get a piece or two, anyone have the same feeling?
feel free to check out their website, lots of pretty colors and the nuance blk/wht brillant bag had my eye on it..........

Same here. I'm tempted because Jeon Ji Hyun wears Delvaux in the popular K-drama "You Who Came From the Stars" so well.
Barney's in NYC carries Delvaux. They are beautiful. Was very tempted by a wallet.

Yes there appears to be a craze that has started especially over the Tempete style. Finally Delvaux is having its moment. I have a feeling we will be seeing this style ALL over soon. They have great colors as well, which makes it all that more alluring.
fyi, interesting article on the brand, w/photos of the Delvaux exhibition in Antwerp, and two videos (promo & runway): Delvaux: 180 Years of Belgian Luxury (March 2010)
I have a black Hannelore from Delvaux (day>evening clutch) that I actually took on a Hermes meet and was admired by other ladies.
Delvaux do raise comparisons, but Hermes always get me into their stores looking for scarves so while I'm there...
plus I don't really like buying larger ticket items from dept stores TBH, so unless Delvaux had a proper concession...I think for too long many handbag companies have tried to go with fashion rather to look at their own archives or create something avant-garde/special. For years Delveau seemed to be looking outside themselves, trying to catch-up. The Hannelore was completely different, and a better day bag than the Kelly Cut. I looked into buying their revisited classic a Tempête a couple of years ago from Dover Street Market, London. I didn't quite pull the trigger but it was tempting (not quite big enough) and not directly from Delvaux. The Brilliant is fabulous in the extra large but there seems a huge price jump between XL and the next size down.
I think mainly I have quite enough bags of most sorts so have to wait until I can find a gap (or space)

Which wallet/color do you own if you don't mind telling. I see Barney's has so many beautiful spring colors that they did not have when I looked at wallets.
Delvaux can be found in Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan and China too. And Delvaux has just opened its first Hong Kong stand-alone store (next to Hermes store) at The Peninsula.
i did not know of existence of this thread, but happy to report that it is my favourite and most used bag brand. will try to post some pics, but here is what i can report regarding the questions raised here (based on 8 years experience):
- pricewise -different leagues, you can get a Delvaux at 1000ish usd, and they have sales.
- craftmanship - good, even excellent, dont know about post sales service, although had once a problem with a belt. they are handmade, but not all lined in leather, sometimes fabric, but then h is sometimes not lined. did not hear about d spa.
- pros - all D bags i own are very light, much lighter than any H
- i like their leathers, not too much grain on leather resembling togo, something resembling swift is divine, croco fabulous, costs 10 times less thanat H
- colors - variety is not as large as at H, but they do have every season a range of bright colors
- my DH says the same as one of the posts here, they are trying to catch up rather than creating something timeless. well i don't agree, there are classical pieces and more 'moment' bags, but variety is greater than H.

Delvaux makes a beautiful bag... Beautiful quality & styling.. Another bag line
that is under the radar..
They are in a different league than Hermes... not many bag lines offer the color
range of H & the various leathers... but big difference in price & look
