That's crazy! And imo I really think the simplissime is underrated, I'm surprised it is not as popular... I actually like it more than both the brilliant and tempete, and the lower price point it's also more approachable!

Simplissime is a nice bag too but I guess brillant and tempête are popular also because there are history to these bags.

I like Louise Boston bag too and as you said the lower price point is definitely a plus!

I went to the one in hong kong. I was particular in the color I wanted to purchase (it was a new color that they had not put out on the floor yet). She informed me that if I wanted to purchase it first I would have to buy some other things to be the first one offered that particular color. However the other colors they had on the floor you could purchase immediately without buying other items.

I'm actually kind of glad that I didn't purchase it from there because I happened to walk into barneys a couple weeks ago and they had the bag sitting there (and I didn't have to purchase other items from delvaux to get it!) haha!

That's good you bought the bag you wanted without compromising and purchasing other stuff!! But strange their policy was different just because of the color was new?!

I only had experience from Belgium and they have always been friendly and helpful:)

This is a big question, so here is a long comparison
-D & H are both heritage houses with long tradition; D from Belgium, H from France
-D makes handbags, SLGs and now some scarves, H sells a whole range of products: jewellery, housewares, silks, RTW, saddles, footwear, fragrances, etc.
-D & H make their handbags by hand; D has ateliers in Belgium and France; H ateliers are in France
-Quality is outstanding for both
-D prices are slightly lower
-Both stand by their products and provide after-purchase service for the life of the bag
-Both make a number of handbag styles, but the iconic ones for D are the Brilliant, Tempête, and Madame models, while the H icons are Birkin, Kelly and Constance
-H has many more boutiques than D
-D is less known, more under-the-radar; quiet luxury
-H strength is its range and colour of leathers
-D makes 2 collections/year; while there are some basics, the colours don't repeat
-H has more clutch models; D has more mini models
-IMO, D's exotic leathers are TDF, while H's strength has got to be their variety of colours
-Biggest difference to me is customer service. Over the last 20 years, I could write a book about H policies, rules, and attitude. On the other hand, my experience with D has always been pleasant, and they have gone out of their way to get me the bag I want, even delivering it personally! In other words, D provides the service you'd expect from a premier luxury brand.

Hope this helps a bit.

@JolieS: Thank you so much for your thorough analysis. I only just found out about Delvaux and am very intrigued. As much as i love Hermes, i do find that some of the purchasing expriences have been less than pleasant.

After reading review, i can't wait to see Delvaux's bag in person. I love Hermes' craftsmanship.

Hi - My pleasure to help. Have a look at the SS 2017 collection online. There are some drool-worthy bags that will get you dreaming until you can see one in person. Good luck!

I have hunted everywhere for this baby in this colour combo and travelled halfway across the world to acquire her. I am amazed by the customer service provided by the delvaux staff from any boutique I have visited especially the Belgium head office. There is no attitude unlike the house of H, their patience and attentiveness just makes me love this brand even more.

Now presenting the very very rare miss tempete mm in multi tone tourterelle with SHW

That is definitely a rare bag and worth the effort. There's a wait list here for this exact combo. Congrats!!

I own more H bags than D bags, but I love them both. And I have found the service amazing. I agree that Barneys doesn't have the greatest selection, but the NYC Delvaux specialist is terrific. I also found Delvaux Singapore to have a great selection and really friendly SAs. Delvaux does not have as good a resale value as H does, which makes their prices a little harder to swallow.
