anyone know where i would be able to source a "contemporain reporter" in last season's color. i remember walking past singapore's scotts road boutique in January, and they had a beautiful tan leather "contemporain reporter", but however i noticed that this season they seemed to have changed the colors, which I'm not a big fan of.

By tan do you mean vegetal or another color? Looking at last season's colors, I seem to recall seeing one in olive and another in black when I was in Macau last month.

absolutely beautiful bag, just wrong timing (ran out of time in singapore). im hoping i can find it again when im back there in august.

pretty sure olive was released after tan was removed from the website photos
 
Has anyone tried ordering from overseas before? I wrote an email asking about prices and they asked if I was going to a store or having it shipped to my country. Still waiting for a response from them after I replied that I would prefer the latter. I'm curious to know if any Delvaux fans here have done it?

The color in that photo is definitely vegetal. I wouldn't worry if I were you though, because vegetal is one of their permanent colors so I'm sure they'll be making your bag in vegetal again. At times they would skip a season or two for a particular style in a particular color (for example, they skipped tortorelle for Brillant in one of the recent seasons but it's back again), but they'll bring it back. I'll keep my eyes peeled on this end and PM you if I see anything when I'm traveling.:smile1:

I hadn't have the best of luck in contacting the online service, but I was able to get a response once after multiple follow-ups. They gave me three options: going to a local store nearby that may have the item, shipping the item to me, or wire them money remotely and then pick up at one of the larger stores in Belgium.:smile1:

Depending on your preference, the second option is probably the most convenient one since the bag will come to you. However, the downside of having something shipped to you is you won't actually get to see or examine the goods until you receive it, and that once you put in duty, shipping, and insurance, it's not that much cheaper than buying it locally.:p

I'm not sure what's the pricing like where you are, but I remember the total for having a Brillant shipped to me in the States to be only a little less than getting it at the local Barney's. :flowers:

Awesome! Great to know that that particular color isnt a one off, or discontinued for good.

Also just want to know, anywhere online or instore that would ship this to australia? I can't seem to find anywhere in Australia that even does Delvaux. When in Singapore, I remember the saleslady quoting the bag at ~SG$3500. Now all savvy shoppers know that luxury bags in singapore hasn't been as competitive as it once was. So naturally, I would want to know where else would I be able to get one
 
I agree I love the color the shape and the strap. And yes versatile bag. Not too crazy about the snap closer. But I also noticed it can scratch easily. I have been using it everyday and everywhere for 2 weeks. How do you all keep it clean? Or from picking up so much dust? A fun bag with a serious color.

Did you figure out the dust issue? I wonder about an anti-static cloth of some type. My clear plastic Xray bag has dust on it too.
 
Good news. Received email that my bag is available!!
Will wire funds Monday , may be here by end of week.

Promise to post pix!!

I got my Dark Knight directly from Brussels to the US. It turned out slightly more than I expected because of the cost of the wire transfer and then I lost on the exchange rate they gave. Once it was in the US I paid for the Fed Ex and the tax. All these added costs were not originally factored in when I did the quick calculations in my head when I said I would buy it. But in the end I love the bag and I dont think it is available here anywhere, at least not yet.
So I am happy, but I will think twice next time about getting any bag from overseas unless I bring it back myself.

Well I have been using the baby wipes I keep in the car for a quick dust removal, but in 24 hours there is just more dust. I love the idea of the antistatic cloth. Does it exist? Because you are right the plastic just attracts the dust.

Yes same issues when I used to get Goyard from Paris.
If I thought this bag would still be available when I travel to Paris in the fall, would have waited.
