Let's talk Delvaux!

[TraceySH]

Ok I know I am barging in on this lovely forum having never been here before, please forgive me. I have looked at Delvaux back and forth for awhile, but never pulled the trigger. I don't mean to offend anyone here by saying this but I am so tired of Chanel, and its rapidly declining quality issues, CS, tackiness, poor company values, etc. and I have TRIED to like Hermes, I just can't get there. So I saw this today on the Barney's website, and thought it might be the most beautiful bag I've ever seen. I ordered it, and am kind of freaking out but totally excited. I still adore Dior, but I need a new wingman brand. Any feedback would be so much appreciate thank you!!

So here's the one I got...

It's so so so so beautiful; thanks for sharing!! How do you feel the quality compares to Chanel and Dior?

I don't know cuz I ordered by phone! I've never even seen them IRL. So I am terrified and excited! Chanel quality sucks these days, I am keeping a couple of perfect reissues and some boys for casual travel (they are pretty hardy). Dior quality is impeccable. Love love love Dior. I am hoping that since this brand charges a LOAD $$ for their bags, and much less marketing and overhead, that they will have used the high prices towards quality. I really don't know what to think yet?

This bag is absolutely, freaking amazing! I already love the Tempete and the details on this one are gorgeous. The quality of Delvaux is impeccable from the materials, intricacies, and craftsmanship. I suspect you'll find happiness with them.

I need some bag peace! The tempete mm was the design that caught my eye from the beginning. Which do you have? I would eventually love a beautiful magenta !! With only 2 collections a year, it makes the choices less erratic and stressful vs some other brands that have 6-8 collections a year

my vintage Delvaux from the 60s... still functional and the leather is beautiful

Wow it looks very pretty! Is this the box calf?

I just got my first D bag in box-calf and I am a bit scared of scratches. They told me at the boutique that it is sturdier than Celine’s and won’t get scratched as much.

Doesn't this Dolce bag look a lot like the Dark Night? (sorry for the big photo)

Yes, it’s box calf. The box calf in boutique nowadays is different than the vintage, a lot matter. The vintage D box calf looks silkier and the interplay of color and light is more interesting. Having said that the matte look is more contemporary. All my box calf bags have scratches to certain extend but hardly noticeable. The scratches can’t take away their elegance.

Here we go! Wow. This is a whole new level. Not sure I can ever go back

Congratulations! This was my holy grail bag too (although mine has gold hardware). Don’t second-guess your decision for a minute. It’s the perfect bag and, since nothing can top it, you’ll likely spend less on other bags. I certainly have since buying mine.

Hi! Thank you for your feedback! I love the gold and black, but I already have too many of that color/ hw combo so I opted for the black/black. The bag is stunning, the construction is impeccable, the size is perfect. I LOVE IT. I did also get the silver/ gold combo I posted above, that arrives tomorrow. I tend to buy things in pairs for some reason. I am hoping this spurs a reduction in my compulsive buying for sure, but changing brands, I won't have the constant collections bombarding me at 8x per year. I am headed to London in 2 weeks, so I am super excited to check out the boutiques there. Prices should be quite a bit less esp after VAT refund?

Lastly, I did see that Delvaux was opening its first North American boutique in NYC in October? How totally exciting!
