I like the Manchete Brilliant, Galuchat/Antique gold. And no, I have absolutely no idea what I'd do with it.
I am thinking of buying the East/West Brilliant handbag in the prune color with gold metallic sticking. What do you think about the shape of this bag? Do you think this can be worn everyday with a suit or with jeans, or is it just too unusual? Or should I get the standard shape brilliant in black with gold metallic stitching? Please help advise!!
What a lovely dilemma to have! I’ve seen and handled the Brillant MM in black with gold metallic stitching; I’ve seen a bag in prune - gorgeous colour - but not the model you are thinking about.
To me the decision would be all about the east-west shape. Some people (me for one) feel that it sticks out too much and looks awkward on their frame.
That consideration aside, the bags with metallic stitching this season can look either rock-and-roll casual, or quite formal, depending on your outfit.
Hope this helps a bit, and please show us your purchase when you decide.

There was earlier post of someone own the East/West & loving it. For me, I love the traditional look of the brilliant. I love this season’s prune color though. Sorry, I guess not much help at the end...
Hello PursePsych,
It all depends on what you’re looking for... I have both styles... The E/W looks more casual and younger to me, but can be worn dressed up as well. Due to its wider opening (top) it’s easy to get in and find your things... While my MM (also black) is smaller, more elegant and dressed up. I use that bag for an evening out, it’s too small for me for daily use... but that of course is really personal...
You might need both of them! [emoji6]
The yellow resin edge on your madame is so eye popping. Just gorgeous!
I personally love the east west shape. It’s easier to find stuff, and I think it looks more modern.
My tempete with a trench and hermes shawl. Love her to bits! ANd have been carrying her even more than I had thought I would.
Ok I am falling deep into delvaux love. Yikes! Just wanted to share something with you all. When I bought my mini tempete in London, the SA asked if I wanted to buy the bag conditioner kit. She talked me into it and boy am I glad I bought it. I used it for the first time yesterday and the cream made my bag glow! ALso little fingernail scratches disappeared and I feel the leather looks even more luxe and healthy than before. The care card said to condition the bag every 3 weeks if the bag is used daily. Wow! I’m glad I read the card because I never would have imagined it would be recommended to do it so often. Here’s the kit if anyone wants to see the components. I would really recommend it. I’m sorry but I don’t remember the price of it.
And here’s a pic of my OOTD with accessories from yesterday. I’m loving this mini tempete.
Oh good!! I’m glad someone else has had the same results as me with this kit. I’ll be curious too how long it lasts me.
I only use a tiny bit each time and seriously I don’t clean my bags so often [emoji28] So I think it will last forever (until it expires lol)
I especially love the furry glove, it gives such a luxurious feel when you wipe through the bag, like a spa! [emoji173]️
I think I should start using the kit on a regular basis!
Getting my morning fix with my delvaux!
