I’m quite sure your daily essentials can fit in mini Brillant. I could easily fit in my card case, LV mini pouchette, keys and some other things on top. The strap length is better than mini tempete too. I find the strap is too long even on the shortest setting so I got a Fendi strap you for my tempete [emoji20] Would hope they could punch an extra hole though.
The only thing with Brillant is to get used to the buckle, but once you try a few times it should be fine. I’m looking at a box mini Brillant too [emoji85]
By the way, speaking of the strap on the mini Brilliant, I’ve noticed the change! Bags from last summer the strap goes underneath the flap (see the coral and the patent blue ones below, which I think is a cleaner look). This season the strap is hooked onto the metal rings next to the handle. How’s the strap on your mini Brilliant?
The strap used to go under the flap but they changed it about 3 years ago to the current version that was hooked to the handle. Interesting that the older version is still available!
My vegetal is the newer version where the strap hooked to the side of top handle [emoji4]
Wow, it’s been that long! Coz there are plenty of Brilliant on Barneys website that still has the strap go under the flap! I think that patent blue one is from SS 2017.
Do you know whether this change effect the overall drop/length of the strap?
Hmmm or was it 2 years ago, dont really remember [emoji28] I remember when I visited the store the first time they made the change in the strap and had a price increase......maybe it was only back in 2016.
Unfortunately I never tried on the older version so not sure about the length, but I’m 163 cm and the strap works fine for me while tempete is still too long. May I ask how tall are you?
I’m so short that even with the adjustable strap on the mini Tempete it still seem a bit long for me with the shortest length. It’s a daily struggle for short girls lol!
This is what I normally carry. Midsize wallet, small wallet, iPhone X, key wallet, small hand cream & folding shopping bag. The iPhone X fits either standing up or sideway. There is still some room to spare if you need to fill it up. The strap length is adjustable btn 38~50 inches. I'm 5'4" and uses the 3rd hole & it's fine both shoulder carry or cross body. You can see how it looks from my earlier post.
So gorgeous, your bag is high on my 2018 wish list [emoji7][emoji7]
Thanks for the photos! Mini Brilliant definitely holds more than mini Tempete!
Btw ladies, I almost had a hard attack this evening! I discovered this stain inside my Simplissime pm! While the interior of Delvaux bags is gorgeous with the light beige color, I’m a little freaked out when I discovered a faint stain, I wasn’t sure what caused it, I’m guessing is either my phone case or one of the key holder... tho I tried to rub both items with like paper towel and no color bleeding whatsoever...the stain now seems a bit lighter after I cleaned it...I’m now thinking maybe I need a bag liner or something to protect the interior beige leather...do you use anything liner or pouches etc.?
I know how you feel!!! The lining is leather and as gorgeous as it is sometimes it can also be impractical. When I use my Delvaux I often use small pouches (like mini pouchette) for sharp items like keys or soft pouches for cosmetics that can color, I.e. foundation or lipstick. I heard the worst that can stain the interior is pens so be aware......!
Good idea, I already have key pouches to protect my purses (in terms of the sharpness), but pretty much none of my other bags have such a light colored leather interior...I think both my wallet and my card holder are fine, but from now on I’ll totally use small linen pouches for the key pouches and my phone!!
