The blisters happen more if water is left to sit so wiping off ASAP is just the right thing.

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
I'll have to go into Delvaux and check on recent box leather. In the past D's Box is very comparable to H's. My Delveaux is def a type of stamped leather.
the Cool Box.
I always use pouches. They are more versatile than a single organiser and in different order fit into a multitude of different bags. Just think of all the beautiful SLGs you must have already or even those extra make-up/toiletry cases/pouches given free with gift sets at Christmas/Valentine's etc.
The lightning suggests it may only be water and you may only have to wait fr it to dry-out.
I won't go into why I don't use organisers, but for these bags everything should be encased. For the purposes of this question I just wanted to add many organisers have pockets on the outside which if filled with certain objects can still scratch or stain a bag's lining.
My SA just went to the showroom for PFW and mentioned the FW 2018 will be a dangerous one!!! Haven’t found any intel on IG yet. Waiting impatiently here [emoji28]
Thank you. The prune one is sold out since it’s FW17. The the new magic brillant will be dark brown with light pink or white edges I believe.
My SA still has one and he can locate a few more for me. I got two bags already in February so have to take a little break [emoji28]
I’m waiting to see the new FW18 and I’ll make up my mind [emoji4]
Oh it fits so many things!!! It makes me wanna get a mini too!! [emoji14]
Hi fellow delvaux lovers. I am still on a hunt for a brillant mini but have one question re: leather choices.
Exisiting brillant owners I would love to hear your inputs - how does the box leather hold after a while? How does rodeo leather hold after a while?
I heard that delvaux box is tougher than other brand’ box leather, is this true?
What is everyone’s preference in leather for a brillant mini? Box vs rodeo?
Thank you all [emoji173]️

So far I know Delvaux don’t use the grained calfskin on Brilliant from now ! since when my sister helped me to get my red Delvaux Brilliant in Japan(I preferred to get grained calfskin) but the SA told my sis that all the new shipments on Brilliant will be in box leather going forward so, Delvaux stores just sell what they have left in stock! (I assumed same as Barneys)! So my sister ended up helped me to get a brilliant mini red in box leather & I like it so much! I know box leather cost a bit expensive than the grained calfskin ($350) but as i mentioned grained leather have limited stock & it may not have the color u like so, better go to the store & check it!
That’s not true. They continue to use both leathers. You can check their catalog on line. They just tend to have more box leather brillants especially on those special edition ones since it’s more popular. All my brillant are box. They’re beautiful. Unlike hermes box leather if feels like it has a layer of coating on it.
