Thank you so much for taking your time to help me. I don't know what year this bag is from. It looks really new and I still think the heat stamped logo & the buckle engraving still look suspicious. Both of your buckle engraving look exactly like mine. My other brilliant is from current season. I actually emailed the original place that authenticated the bag to find out if the document is legit. I also emailed Delvaux seeking their advice as well. I hope I get some answers soon.

Hi Monique, I was wondering if Delvaux helped you? I'm in a similar boat. AuthenicateFirst has given a bag I bought a thumbs up, but I'm still skeptical. I don't have any other Delvaux bags, but I have seen them IRL in Barneys. The seller gave me a receipt, but it doesn't look quite right to me. I wonder if Delvaux would help me if I sent them a pIcture of it. Sigh. ☹️.

Here's what happened. ***************** confirmed that they authenticated the item and Delvaux answered my email & told me they could help me on that. I had some trouble sending them pictures through emails because of the size limit. I had more than 5 emails back & forth with them. First they confirmed me that the bag itself & the sleeping bag is authentic. Then I asked them if they knew what season it came from then they told me it looks like from F/W 2016 but I knew it wasn't because I actually own the one they're talking about. When I asked them again they told me they can't confirm about it unless I ship the bag to them to be confirmed by artisan at my own cost. Seller then answered me that the bag is from about 6 years ago. I did my own researches on line about Delvaux 2012 bags then found a couple pictures from Instagram have similar bags. I just happens to see a lot of Good fake Delvaux bags online while doing this research so still skeptical. However my bag doesn't look like the fake ones I saw online either. Sigh~

Monique,
I'm not sure about the bag itself, but the dustbag is definitely more recent than 2012... at that time they didn't have the new logo yet...
It's so confusing.... I find it incredible that Delvaux itself cannot give a decisive answer based on your pictures...

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I sent them an email and they likewise offered to help me authenticate the bag, which pleasantly surprised me. I think a lot of brands wouldn't do that. I'll take them up on it. Like you, I found some fake versions of the style I bought when I searched online, which makes me nervous. It also surprised me, because I usually think that less popular bags are less likely to be faked. Sigh. Good luck with your investigation!

Actually Delvaux's as popular as Hermès in Asia. That's probably why.

Hi there Monique,

I think the hotstamp doesn't look as clean and neatly as it should be, and the gold looks like to glossy gold very suspicious!
And I think for a newer bag there is something wrong with the stitching.
None of my brillant bags (new and old) have the continuous stitching (marked with the yellow dot in the picture).
I don't think they will change the way they assemble the bag.

Now that you mentioned it, I checked my other bag & you are right... sad.

Do not trust AutheticateFirst. I'm reporting my bag as a counterfeit & opened a case. I did research on dozens of vintage & new Delvaux bags. All of them have front stitches like mine, not like the one I purchased. I also informed ***************** about my reporting as a courtesy and they were like...using Hermès as an example the font & style changes over the years....and telling me to have it authenticated. I think they are saying that because they know they're the ONLY Delvaux authenticator in the US. I can surely tell Hermès fakes & the Hermès style & font didn't change much as a matter of fact.

Im almost 99 percent sure it's a fake... do you notice the faint? Press mark along the vertical stitch line? Both sides. Those are marks from sewing machines. Fake bags usually have these. Ive seen them in tons of fake chanel bags from asia. (Im korean and these bags have been reallly popular past couple years because hermes was becoming "too common") and plus the leather, logo stamp, dustbag stitching all look fake to me...

Thanks, Monique. I don't trust them. I'm seeking a refund for my bag too. I'll post the details after my situation is resolved, but what a disappointment ☹️.

I returned the bag & getting my money back. Seller accepted my request fast. I have a feeling she knew. I purchased it because it was authenticated but I guess I can't trust that either anymore. I know there are tons of LV, Chanel fakes but I didn't know there was Delvaux fakes.(I'm also Korean myself ^^*) I was also so surprised how good it was. Even people from Delvaux thought it was authentic first. Here's the picture of them side by side. On the right is my own and the left one is the one turn out to be fake.

I just saw another fake Delvaux brilliant newly listed on eBay & I think it's the same seller who sold the fake one to me although it's by different name. The pictures are taken by same manners & also coming from New York. I also noticed someone already bought a fake box mini by over $1,500. I wish I can let the buyer know... Please be aware~
