Oh my I’m so in love with this color!!! How do you like the box leather so far? Do you find it scratch easily and if the opening is hard?

I have a vegetal in sellier and now thinking to get the same one as you do too [emoji14] Too pretty!!!

Thank you so much in advance! [emoji1374]

Dear all,

For those who own a box Delvaux, how is the bag holding up against scratches? I have bags in sellier and calf souple but was afraid of scratches so never considered box before. However, I’m getting really attracted to the shine and structure of box so start considering to acquire one but I also have two small kids so don’t want to be too paranoid around it either.

Thanks so much in advance!

Am definitely interested to hear how box is holding up for others...I would love to add a box bag to my collection and wonder how having to unbuckle the bag so much might encourage scratching.

What do you think of the new bag?

 

[hikarupanda]

Not my cup of tea. But I’m sure there are ladies out there who can rock it.

What do you think of the new bag?

Hi, mine is relatively new (MM, classic black) but it has been terrific so far. I asked my SA specifically about rain and scratches since my experience with Box calf is on the Hermes side and there are things to be mindful of with Hermes Box leather bags. She assured me that I'd be fine, and I don't baby my bags at all. FWIW, Delvaux's version of box seems to me to be different from H; there's a bit of texture to it, not as much as something like a Saffiano leather but definitely not lambskin-like smoothness. Frankly, I don't know how Delvaux processes their skins, and whether what they call Box leather is in fact a stamped leather or a natural leather processed in some other way (I'm curious if anyone knows, @papertiger perhaps?). I'm quite pleased nonetheless. HTH!

Also, I've found no issues with the buckle, and frankly, at this price point the bag I expect the bag to be designed with the closure mechanism in mind, i.e., if there's any issue of undue wear form normal use Delvaux will take care of it. I find the buckle closure really easy to use as well. Just my two cents

Thanks for the information. Going to see a bag this weekend and hoping they have box in stock!!

Both of my Brillants are Box leather. I haven’t carried them much yet so I can’t really comment about wear & tear. I do agree with ‘textilegirl’ about delvaux box leather being different from Hermes. It almost feels like shiny coat on it & has matte feel to it. The rain drops were wiped right off. As for the buckle closure, it’s actually not bad. Very easy to open & close. Even the mini Brillant fits quite a lot because of the wide bottom. Medium is prettier but I end up carrying smaller one more. I wish they bring back the small size that’s in between again.

For those who own a mini Tempete and a mini Brilliant, can you tell me if the Brilliant holds more than the Tempete? I ordered a mini Tempete on Barneys.com and it arrives today, but it barely fits my stuff and I can close it only when I undo the two side claps. Since the medium Tempete looks to big on me, I’m thinking maybe a mini Brilliant is a better choice...

What do you think of the new bag?

I love it! I'm particularly partial to the Dalmatian, white, and beige.

Some beautiful shots of SS18.

I don’t have mini Tempete. I have mini & MM brillant & MM Tempete. I never considered mini Tempete for that exact reason, too small. Mini brillant actually fits my essentials fine with room to spare. I think it’s because of the wide bottom. I also like the size of medium Tempete. It’s smaller than medium Brillant and it’s flatter so doesn’t stick out. Those two are my most used delvaux out of my small collection. I can take pictures of what fits in my mini brillant for you when I get home.

Hi,

I have both mini Brillant and mini tempete. I don’t carry a lot and mini tempete fits all my essentials. I’d say mini Brillant fits more but it also depends on how much you carry on a daily basis. The straps on both sides of tempete do free up some space for mini size but if that’s not enough maybe consider mini Brillant instead.

Actually I don’t find tempete mm too big but as a cross body bag definitely better with mini sizes.

Yea, I tried the Tempete MM but it’s a bit overwhelming since I’m petite. So I’ll have to stick to mini. I don’t carry much either but I think with the rigid structure I would prefer to have a bit more extra spaces for easier access. Here’s a pic of me trying the Tempete mini, the strap is already at the shortest length.


And this is how much it fits. These are all my daily essentials.
