Let's talk Delvaux!

[lulilu]

I pulled the trigger and ordered from them today! They are listed on Delvaux website as one of the boutiques in Milan so I know they are authorized dealer selling authentic Delvaux. Seems like they only carry one piece of each item shown on their site. And you can't buy directly online so I had quite a lot of back and forth with their customer service. Anyways, compared to prices here in the US, the out-the-door cost (including the 9% import duty I'll need to pay) is like 30% cheaper than me buying from Barneys plus tax. Once I receive it I'll report back. I can't wait!

Can't wait to hear! That is quite a savings. I contacted Delvaux re buying the 1829 bag. They directed me to Barneys.

Yea, I contacted Delvaux once too and as soon as they know you are in the US, they tell you to contact BNY, unless if BNY didn't order a particular bag then you can buy directly from Delvaux HQ, but I think the price they quoted is still marked up for the US market!

I'd love to hear how it turns out. Barneys stock is kind of limited & it would be nice to have some discount.

I reported to eBay that the listing is counterfeit but the listing ended before anything has done so I don't know what happened to the person already bid on it. I know there is Hermès fake thread but I don't think there's anyone for Delvaux. It also seems that the seller's using various names.

Yes, it's very frustrating that they can use various names. My seller never responded when I contacted her, so I had to go through the eBay dispute resolution process. It was long and frustrating, but I'm happy with eBay. The case was decided in my favor and I was required to destroy the counterfeit bag. The seller was selling other fake Delvaux bags when I bought mine, but I posted negative feedback stating that she sold me a fake, and she's not selling anything at all now. Of course she might be using another name or names, but at least I stopped (I think) one.

And I'll definitely be more careful in the future.

hi ladies, I'm new to Delvaux. thanks for sharing your lovely purchases and experiences. your beautiful photos are real enablers

i'm considering getting a brillant mini in ivory box. have read through the whole thread, but don't recall any ladies mentioning the ivory leather turning yellowish. can those with this bag please share your experience, whether white box leather turns yellow easily? TIA

Hi all members, I recently bought Delvaux backpack from ebay and in my opinion it is not GENUINE one. Here are some photos, please help me to authenticate and I have already reported to ebay to ask return. But I need further evidence to support.

Unfortunately you are right... Delvaux never made bags with these card slots inside! These are typical for fake bags! And honestly, the stitching is horrible... All pictures show evidence of not being genuine... no doubt about it... sorry...

Thank you so much for quick reply. Make me confident to claim this case. I hope I win. You know I am waiting for this bag for weeks but today I opened the parcel just so so much disappointed. It is totally different than my other vintage Delvaux. I discussed with the seller when I purchased but she insist this is Genuine and I trust her.

I guess your bag is 'inspired' on a bag/design of the 'Deux de Delvaux'-line. In the past Delvaux produced this 'less expensive' line...
You can easily find pictures of it online...
Good luck!

Hi ladies, so my bag came two days ago. I ordered the Madame Ruban in Noir and Rainbox! I'm sooo in love with the bag!!! The leather is so yummy, and the colorful sealant is amazing against the jet black leather and black hardware! I never really liked the Madame until this color/hardware combo came out! I had my eyes on it ever since I first saw some preview pics of the SS collection on IG! It's lightweight and perfect size for me too!

Overall, my experience with Antonia is pretty positive, and I would definitely order from them again in the future.

So here's my experience with Antonia:

- The boutique:
Antonia is a multi-label boutique in Milan. They are listed as one of the boutiques that sells Delvaux on Delvaux website so I know they are authorized dealer. They actually hosted a preview event for Delvaux Autumn-Winter 16/17 collection last year: https://www.delvaux.com/en/news/160502-antonia

- The stock:
I think their selection is ok, they do carry some styles that I like that Barney is not carrying. It seems that they only have one piece per style.

- To buy:
Antonia doesn't sell Delvaux online so to buy, you have to fill out this contact us form online or email them. I was a bit annoyed tho when I waited almost a week and nobody got back to me. So I actually commented on their IG post and asked someone to get back to me asap.

- Payment:
You can either pay via PayPal or do bank wire. I did it thru PayPal coz it's convenient. But 1) note that you need to have a PayPal account. Although PayPal let you send payment without an account, Antonia said for security purposes they actually want you to create a PayPal account if you don't already have one. 2) PayPal exchange rate is higher because their exchange rate included their "fee" so you will end up paying a bit more in USD compared to using the actual exchange rate of the day.

- Shipping:
They use UPS Express Saver. They sent it out on Monday and I got it on Thursday so it's pretty quick. Their packaging is very bare bone tho, they don't even have stuffing to keep the bag stay in place without swimming around inside the shipping box which kinda annoyed me, thank god the bag is still in perfect condition when it arrived.

- Paying import duty:
You can either pay UPS online or by phone prior to delivery once custom is cleared, or pay the UPS driver on the spot when package is delivered.

- The savings:
I saved around 28% ($1280) after paying import duty, compared to if I go to Barneys today and buy it there with sales tax.

Hope my review helps! And finally, some pics of my baby! I'm so busy with my baby (actual crying baby) now so no modeling pics yet. Will try to post some later!
