I just saw another fake Delvaux brilliant newly listed on eBay & I think it's the same seller who sold the fake one to me although it's by different name. The pictures are taken by same manners & also coming from New York. I also noticed someone already bought a fake box mini by over $1,500. I wish I can let the buyer know... Please be aware~

There's a whole site for replica delvaux, celine, valextra, and moynat. It's sad and the bags look just like the authentic versions. I wonder if people are buying from this site and flipping the bags on eBay.

The Delvaux is my "Hermes" because besides the Brilliant and Tempete, they have beautiful briefcases and other bags. It's beautifully crafted in classic structure, with modern colors and design concepts. They are classy without looking like grandma bags, which is the feeling I get when I see Hermes. No offense, I know a lot of you love it. It just doesnt do anything for me, and it's not the price point either. A Delvaux is not ubiquitous. If I were to carry an Hermes, people who don't even care for luxury brands would know how much they cost whereas Delvaux would be appreciated for it's beautiful craftmanship rather being thought of as "that expensive purse!" Delvaux is a win win for me! Even the creative director said that you can have fun with colors and designs of a heritage purse without compromising its classic look. I agree.

I love both Hermès & Delvaux. I do think the most beautiful bag in the world is the Delvaux brillant. I think Delvaux design is more modern & sophisticated vs Hermès design is more easy to carry & accessible. However I do not like the fact they've been raising the price a little too much last couple of years. I can't believe the brillant MM price now is GM price about 2 years ago. I feel like they're trying to follow Hermès footsteps and that's disappointing. There are still design houses like Valextra or Moynat still keeping the reasonable prices.

Just wanna share a pic of my simplissime with my new H twilly. I always feel that the strap length of my simplissime is a bit too long to be carried crossbody on my petite frame, then I saw someone on IG shortening the shoulder strap by wrapping a hermes twilly to create a handle on the bag. I thought what a brilliant idea! After spending two hours with many attempts trying to perfect my twilly wrapping skill, here it is! The vibrant poppy and blue colors really dress up the bag and make it so much more fun!

I think it looks good without the twilly but it's super cool that you were able to find a way to shorten the strap length! I'm taller and bigger and I LOVE wearing it crossbody.

Hi everyone,
I'd appreciate your opionion of this bag I found, it has a broken clasp and I wonder if it's worth following up to be repaired or not.

Thanks in advance for sharing your expert knowledge.

Hi all,

I have a question for the owners of Cool box - would you recommend to use this bag on a daily basis? I am looking for a daily bag for errands and think the mini version of Cool box might fit the bill. And can anyone share the price for the mini Cool box in Euro?

Thanks a lot in advance!

I wanted to purchase one when it was first launched. However, upon inspection of several ones, the quality was not on par with the brillant, eg the resin was not painted properly/ tiny dots of the resin paint on several locations/ tiny tear on the leather close to the sewing holes (not sure how to name them). I am not sure if this is still the case now. Nonetheless, the leather overall seems durable and the pull zip design is genius. I only know the prices in GBP if it helps?

Moynat’s prices have also skyrocketed since the last 2 years. They’re opening too many boutiques all over the world very quickly. I guess it’s not going to be as exclusive as we hope.
