OMG KEEKEE!!! congrats hun!!!! :party: what color HW does it come with?? i would LOVE a red GHW one!! did you get the MM size too? i hope you love it as much as i do!

i was in the same boat as you - after falling hard for Hermes, i did not buy any other bags for years, could not even THINK of any other brand... Delvaux is really the first one that makes me want to collect more than 1 of the same style in different colors (apart from Hermes!!) but so far, loving it, and as you said, with the H price increases and the SKUNK LEATHER issues, this has been a very happy alternative for me! and of course, no games! win-win! :tup:

cannot wait to see your baby, please post pics as soon as you get it!

Keekeee, major congrats on your red Brillant! So exciting, please post pics as soon as you receive it. Tell us what you think of the quality of Delvaux compared to H. Also, I love the idea of not playing any games and simply placing an order for a Brillant. This has gotten very old for me at H as much as I love my loyal SA. The continuous pressure to buy, buy, buy just to be offered a B or a K is getting ridiculous. Plus, there are the skunk issues and how this has been handled by H.

Carlinha, thanks for the lovely pics and your feedback. I trust your opinion and you have a great eye for quality. Love your Snow White and lagon, such amazing bags! The ivory box calf is absolutely TDF and is on my short list. Do you find that you are using them more than your Bs/Ks?

Will be up in New York City in late December and always have lunch at Fred's, so while I am at Barney's will check out Delvaux IRL. I am interested in the sizes and the Brillant, Rejane and Pauline styles ~ but the Brillant is pretty much winning out.

Will probably place my order directly with corporate Delvaux in Europe as I am pretty sure that I will want GHW if I go with the Brillant and don't become Carlinha's Snow White twin. Also, there is a possibility of a trip to Paris in July 2015, if I can wait that long, lol.

Question, if I order via email or phone directly from Paris or Brussels do they deduct VAT from the price of the bag or is this only done if I buy it in person?

I hear you my friend.. The game they played in Hermes is getting old!
Buy this jewellery and you'll get this bag.. And starting mid 2013 the bags i received from my H boutique are just thin thin thin! So so sad... And with the price increase.. And with the change of rules on SO (only one solid color, no horseshoe stamp) and the issue with the stinky bag... I kinda lost my appeal..

You really should pull the trigger Vigee.. Buy the Brillant!! I'll take Carlinha's words regarding the quality of Delvaux. This brand is older than Hermes and its also handmade.. So i believe the quality is on par.. Only.. I dont think Delvaux has as good re sale value as Hermes..

But regardless the re sale value.. They made beautiful bags!! Look at what i saw on the catalogue... I want them all!!!

I'm obsessed with Delvaux. OBSESSED. The leather is so fine and beautiful!! It's a problem, because in no way can I justify spending close to $10,000 on a bag right now.

I was eyeing a couple of the (affordable) vintage bags on eBay - the Toile a Cuir. What do you all think of that material? To me it feels quite casual and wearable, maybe the perfect weekend bag. This one is a tiny, tiny bit shabby with dirt but maybe I can forgive that for the bargain price. I don't usually wear logos of any kind, ever, but I feel like, ironically, the giant D is pretty subtle... because (1) no one knows what it stands for in the US, and (2) it's so big it just looks like an assymetrical pocket. ;)

ladies, count me in as another LOVER of Delvaux bags (OBSESSED :girlsigh:)

i had never heard of this brand until i saw the lovely @bycamelia with it on IG... she lives in belgium and therefore is a huge fan of this brand! still, i was intrigued by her pics but did not necessarily NEED one of the bags... then i saw them in person at Barney's and started falling in love, and saw some of @bycamelia's bags in person, and that was it!

when i was in NYC a few months ago, we stopped at Barney's and i saw and fell head over heels in love with my first Delvaux - an ivory box calf with covered white HW... i call this beauty my Snow White :tender:

my second piece came a few weeks later with the help of my friend @bycamelia, from Belgium - Lagon PHW :loveeyes::cloud9:

Both are MM (medium), but as you can tell from this pic, the ivory box calf is rigid and much more structured, so appears larger/taller... the lagon in the grain leather is soft and slouches a little bit, so appears smaller/shorter:

Congratulations carlinha, I wish you joy to wear them

That red is a gorgeous colour, a pop but not scary.

I've honestly never bought anything in H I didn't sincerely want, I just couldn't :nogood:

Hi guys! Another fan checking in. I've always admired Delvaux bags for the quality, but felt it was a little too "proper" for my causal/sporty style. I was so wrong! My dear friend carlinha's beautiful Lagon MM completely changed my mind.

I received my first piece a few days ago. I am totally over the moon about the craftsmanship and leather.
