Delvaux, Barneys New York and famous Belgian artist 'Rene Magritte' collaborate!
The window installation at Barneys Chicago featuring the "Les Humeurs de Brillant" capsule collection...

Delvaux bags are incredibly well made and are making it into main stream with RIHANNA and the limited edition 'Ceci n'est pas un DELVAUX" Craftmanship is impeccable... I just saw them and inspected them at Barneys...[/I][/B]

went to Japan last week and discovered Delvaux. Interested in the Brilliant and the brilliant east west. Was wondering if the opening is hard to open / close. I love that the style has a back pocket and a detachable shoulder strap too! What i don't like is that i only saw smooth leathers.

Any input in its ease of use? thanks!!!

Was at their Belgium Brussels flagship store end of August. They do have different leather choices, but yes, more in smooth cowhide. They also have exotic leather with less pricy price tag than H!

I was shown a soft leather slouchy shoulder bag. Actually, the plastic one got my initial attention. It has the trademark shape but with a twist. But then DH made me to get their limited edition double-sided leather basket clutch instead. The leather is not the smooth one. So I guess it depends on the style.

Just got this in the newsletter:

On the lovely full-moon evening of November 7th, Delvaux celebrated its flagship Tokyo boutique in Omotesando with an exclusive "Red Moon Party".

To mark this exceptional occasion, the House of Delvaux created an exclusive limited-edition version of our signature "Le Brillant" handbag baptized "Brillant Red Moon".
With its masterful execution and artistic design, the "Brillant Red Moon" was envisaged
as an homage to Japan’s fascinating culture and rich history.

Japanese and Belgian fashion share a taste for the avant-garde, irreverence, and true innovation, while showcasing a deep respect for tradition and a sense of discreet elegance. Independence and integrity are also key values in both cultures,
as is an unconventional and resilient approach to life.

Japanese precision is legendary, a fact beautifully honoured by the intricate and impeccable construction of the "Brillant Red Moon". The red lacquered buckle calls to mind ancient Urushi artworks, while the red leather moon – perfectly centred on the white leather – required a lengthy and delicate stitching technique.

Only 10 "Brillant Red Moon" handbags exist. Each one was made in Delvaux’s workshop
in Brussels and each was hand-numbered by the artisan who crafted it.

The "Brillant Red Moon" is sold exclusively at Delvaux’s boutique
located in Tokyo’s Omotesando district.

Dalvaux is a great brand as is Valextra- both are seriously undervalued as luxury brands- excellent quality and workmanship. But when you pay upwards of 5 figures for a bag it is nice to know there is a market should you decide to resell- this is the value of Hermes.

thanks, ********!

Is the bag easy open / close? when i tried it on at the store I can't try it on like i own the bag because I don't want it to look used without buying it.

i'm also worried that the shoulder strap will damage the sides of the flap in the long run.

thanks again!

When the quality of Hermes keeps dropping but the price keep soaring up high, i sure am intrigued by delvaux!
The demand for Delvaux is not as high as Hermes im sure so i hope the quality is still pretty much the same.
Im having a huge crush on their Le Brillant bag at the moment.

baileylab the closure takes some getting used to, it has its own technique and once you master that you are fine. The bag is incredibly light weight. I love the way it conforms to the body rather that jets out like a B35. I have not owned mine long enough to speak of shoulder strap. I will def be buying more DELVAUX bags!
