Hi all I am visiting Europe in late Sep / early Oct, and will stop by London/ Brussels / Paris. Am thinking of picking up my first Delvaux (likely a Brilliant) while I am there. Forgive me if I am asking the obvious, but is Brussels the best place to shop for Delvaux (price & range wise)? Reason I'm asking is because I found UK actually cheaper for some French brands (exchange rate dependent of course) and wonder if it's the same for Delvaux... Thank you in advance!

Here is #2. I LOVE them!! So happy to be transitioning to a completely different aesthetic! All of a sudden I feel like I've grown up or something. I am sure that sounds strange.

Yes, Brussels is best for both selection and price. The cost of my trip to Brussels plus the cost of my Tempete was less than I would have paid for the bag itself in the US. Also check out the airport. Remarkably, the Brussels store was out of the black Tempete I wanted, but the airport had it, at an even better price than the Brussels store.

I didn’t look in Paris, but London’s selection was limited and the prices were higher there than in Brussels (still better than the US, though). Have fun!

Thanks for the info! Will try to slot in a stop at the Brussels store!

Brugge has a large boutique. It looked beautiful. Knokke has one as well. I did not go into either one though.

I am headed to London next weekend, and have been corresponding with an SA at the Broome St boutique who seems super helpful. It appears prices after VAT are about 30% less? Also, I did not realize that London can send orders placed here in the USA. Still have to pay duties on arrival here, but without 20% VAT. And the price with the exchange is still much cheaper.

Hi All

A Newbie here, so a big Hi to Everyone here = ] Not sure if I am ok to do this, but I was wondering if I can draw some attention to a post I placed under "Authenticate This Delvaux" for a Beautiful Delvaux bag recently listed with no paperwork:

Some photos are a bit blurry, so any help appreciated, suggestion, comments appreciated!

Hi! Out of curiosity, what are the prices quoted at the London boutique? I purchased mine in Singapore but am in the market for another one.......

Hi! So I don’t have a ton of comparisons - just on the tempete mm. The regular tempete mm here is 6100, after VAT refund there is about 4350. The fancy tempete mm which is 6750 here is about 5200 after VAT refund. So somewhere about 28% less. Also, if you pay sales tax from Barney’s here, clearly the savings becomes more significant. Hope that helps!

Hi all, my SA just offered me a L’Humour that arrived today!

Any opinions on the longevity of the design? I love it but all my friends are telling me not to get it.....

I also just got a Brilliant MM in Rodeo Vision so am not as keen as I would have been if this were to be my first Brilliant!
