Thanks for sharing!! Loving that boxy bag in the top of the first pic - anyone know the name? Also, the wide green Brilliant is super cute, but I can't imagine it looking good when worn!
I am devoted to Hermes and Delvaux both. I have that Empire Green East West Brilliant with the metal pick stitching and it is very easy to carry casually and more formally. It catches the sun and light and subtly glitters making it very eye catching. I have never been anywhere with it - Bergdorf's, Hermes, supermarket, airport, ladies room, etc. without someone stopping to admire it and ask me what it is. Even the SAs at Hermes. And I live in NYC. Nobody does that with any of my Birkins or Kellys except for one recent limited edition toile. I love the bag but I don't have the mink strap, just the one it comes with. It's beautifully made, thoughtfully designed and comfortable however I choose to carry 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!!
I have the green version of the bag you're talking about. It's very versatile and goes with everything. I really love this bag and it is always greatly admired everywhere I go...in NYC which is saying something.

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]

That’s not true; they still had the Version with the straps go underneath the flap for SS 17 collection not 3 yrs ago ! As you see the spotted fashion blog link below for Vernis gel collection ! The handles of the Brilliant in Lilac & Indigo don’t have the rings on the side which are the same bags still selling in Barneys! Also I was in Paris of the Delvaux at Galleries Lafayette also seen this collection last year !

Apologize my misunderstanding but the change was firstly made in sellier leather and I believe some box brillant still has the strap going under the flap. I don’t know much about the vernis but apparently it is the original design too.

I have this bag in Vegetal (Tan) color. Haven't used it a lot but I highly recommend it. It's light weight, you can carry it crossbody (I'm only 5'1" so the hang would be a bit too low for me when carrying it crossbody, but with your height you will be fine), or double the strap and make it a should bag. It looks small but fits more than you'd think. It's really an under-appreciated bag, I honestly like it more than the more popular (and expensive) styles like Brilliant and Tempete.

Thanks for these details - I'm thinking of buying this bag too! Yours is lovely.
