Do you know whether the Delvaux are also handstiched?
The only thing, I don't like, is the D that is on so many of the designs (especially the vintage ones).

The Brillant has been the IT bag of Belgium for a lot of years. I've been trying to convince my mother to give hers to me for years.
antwerp, don't blame you for trying to convince your mother to give it you. The more I see these bags, the more I love them.
I have a 'madame', a lovely shoulder bag. I think Katie Holmes has one too. I also have a Kelly, a Lindy and an Evelyne. The delvaux is a lot lighter and the leather is great quality.antwerp, don't blame you for trying to convince your mother to give it you. The more I see these bags, the more I love them.
hi baileylab! i'm one of the people who have fallen hard for Delvaux in the last few months...
i now am the happy owner of two Brillant MMs (medium size)...
one is an ivory box calf which is pretty stiff/rigid/structured... i would equate this to a sellier Kelly. this one is harder to open and close, you have to push on the top part to loosen the buckle before you can open/close it... i was shown by the Barney's SA how to do it, and it has gotten easier as i get more used to the motion. also she said as the leather gets softer and more worn in, it will get easier.
the other one i have is a lagon in a grained leather - this is soft and more relaxed/slouchy than the box calf... the grains are less pronounced than H Togo/Clemence. i would equate this to a retourne Kelly, and this is definitely easier to open/close because the leather is softer and more pliable.
overall i am very happy and in love with these bags... the quality is amazing - the leather, colors, etc. i love that it comes with the detachable and ADJUSTABLE shoulder strap option... and i am just in love with the shape of the Brillant, very simple, timeless and modern at the same time.
the customer service so far has been impeccable as well. and they also stand by their products for their lifetime, offering spa services for as long as the bag exists.
i will post pics of my babies shortly...
wow your clutch is stunning!! congrats ceci, and thank you for sharing these yummy pics!!!
******** is DELVAUX Obsessed... I love the quality, the history, the story built in to the brand.

Pictures are of my special limited edition #8 (of the 10 made) created for the capsule collection released exclusively at Barneys in August.
you know i am absolutely in love with your special bag ********!!! and her coming home story
I've been interested in Delvaux for the past 2 years but I haven't had a chance to see it and try it in person because there is no delvaux boutique in Canada.... I'm going to Vegas this Xmas, hopefully I can score a Le Tempête there Does anyone know how's the inventory at Barneys in Vegas?

Vigeee... I pulled the trigger! I just bought one. Its still en route from japan to my arms. Will post pics as soon as i receive her.
Carlinha... You are to blamed for my Brillant obsession!! Seeing your beautiful pictures on your IG makes me drool. I was about to pm you about how hard the bag is to open and close. So thank you for sharing the details here.. Mine is the retourne one i think.
I was looking for the Pink Flamingo one. When a friend of mine in japan said the flamingo one is out of stock, she offered me a red one. At first i said no but then she sent me pics and Daaammn....!! Why does it have to be so pretty!!!😭😭
Especially when she sent me her modeling pics with the bag in the crook of her arms! I just have to have it. So i told her to go ahead and buy it for me.
This is my first non H bag after falling hard for Hermes in 2010..
At least.. With delvaux.. No game played.. No need to buy jewellery to be offered a bag
I have a HUGE crush on the Brilliant myself...waiting for a pop color to appear soon
antwerp, don't blame you for trying to convince your mother to give it you. The more I see these bags, the more I love them.
ladies, count me in as another LOVER of Delvaux bags (OBSESSED
)i had never heard of this brand until i saw the lovely @bycamelia with it on IG... she lives in belgium and therefore is a huge fan of this brand! still, i was intrigued by her pics but did not necessarily NEED one of the bags... then i saw them in person at Barney's and started falling in love, and saw some of @bycamelia's bags in person, and that was it!
when i was in NYC a few months ago, we stopped at Barney's and i saw and fell head over heels in love with my first Delvaux - an ivory box calf with covered white HW... i call this beauty my Snow White
my second piece came a few weeks later with the help of my friend @bycamelia, from Belgium - Lagon PHW
Both are MM (medium), but as you can tell from this pic, the ivory box calf is rigid and much more structured, so appears larger/taller... the lagon in the grain leather is soft and slouches a little bit, so appears smaller/shorter:
yes i do believe it is handstitched, at least the Brillant... as per their website:
http://en.delvaux.com/since1829/creations/
"Le Brillant", Delvauxs signature design, is a perfect embodiment of Delvauxs style. This timeless, sculptural bag is stitched by hand and consists of sixty-four pieces of leather and metal finishings.
