Hello everyone! I am in London and debating a purchase, any feedback much appreciated. I meant to come to get 2 of the Tempete MM (the colors I like most are the satin blue (looks metallic IRL) and the beige (honestly a perfect neutral and contrasting painted edges lend depth)), but when I walked into the boutique. OMG. I spotted the most gorgeous ostrich in this deep otter taupe with hints of plum. I can't get that one out of my mind! But it's of course more than the other 2 combined. Any thoughts or words of wisdom? Thank you in advance!! The color of the ostrich is better represented on the group photo in the back below.
Let's talk Delvaux!

That otter is so so so special! I'd you can stretch it I say go for it! But I also really like the satin blue
I'm a fan of bags that standout!Thank you for your feedback! They are showstoppers in their own ways, the blue because the color is exceptionally bright and magnetic & the ostrich b/c it's a stunning, sophisticated, holy sh** of a wow timeless classic with a twist.

What a delightful dilemma to be in! Each is so beautiful, but each is so different. Do you have a specific use for the bag in mind? To me the blue is the most casual because of the colour. The wrapped handle feature to me might date after a while, just my opinion. The beige (is this Vison?) will go with everything, and can be worn all seasons. You’re right, the ostrich is very, very special: a wonderful, shifting colour that can also go with everything. Sigh - so difficult.Thank you for your feedback!

Hi! Thank you for your feedback, that DOES help a lot. My lifestyle is more casual for sure, and I like to have fun with my bags. I don't have many bright colors even though I do love them! I guess having bright colors in the right bag makes sense, and these are lovely. So the blue handle, that is just a bag strap thing, that doesn't come with the bag. I think it's a great idea on Delvaux's part though, making "twilly straps" that are leather with little fun things on them. But for me, that is not my style at all, at ALL.
I went to the Bond St location today, and they had the most beautiful red/pink color, but all the MM size is sold out. I think that might have been my perfect pair of bright colors! (I will attach a photo). Otherwise, yeah, it would be the beige, which looks elegant and stately, and I can use my Fendi straps with it too, and the blue satin.
The ostrich tho, it's beyond amazing. It might be the prettiest ostrich skin I've seen, the quality is higher than anything else I've ever seen, hands down. So that is more of a forever, sophisticated, hand down to someone one day bag. The blue and beige MM would be more of a fun for now, easygoing, easy to use set, where the ostrich is just a next level. I go back and forth on this one. It's a hard decision and I am usually very decisive!!!

And... the winner is the ostrich

Oh my gosh, that will last you lifetimes, as you said!!!And... the winner is the ostrich
I was going to go for 2 bright colors, and then got an H in a bright color, so my purse addict friend with me said don't you dare walk away from that ostrich it's all you've been thinking about!!
@bellebellebelle19 It's kind of one of the only ways I am able to justify it OMG. It's not a play bag I will have a few seasons and mad cycle like the rest, it's like a real grown up bag I will have forever
Knokke and Brugge have also a Delvaux shop. Prices are more or less the same in all shops. The difference is in the amount of limited editions a shop has. Some don't have a specific model for sale.
For the regular models you can go in any Belgian shop.
Hi everyone! Just came back from London and Paris. I got this beautiful Delvaux bag but I have buyer's remorse because I have been buying too many bags. I didn't want another Chanel bag. I wanted something that not many people would go for and this one would be harder to get in the states. Do you think I should keep or sell this? Here are some of my current collection.
-Mini Lady Dior in Black patent leather and white calfskin
-Chanel So Black Jumbo
-Chanel Small Black Chevron Boy Bag in Dark Silver Hardware
-Chanel Black Cambon Bag
-Chanel Black Patent Metallic Mini
I kind of wished I got something not as expensive. This bag was a lot even though it was cheaper for me to get it in London than in the US.
Thank you!

I believe this model is from the spring/summer 2018 collection and is called Tribal Stitch. The collection had a strong ethnic/tribal influence. IMO the black, ebony and ivory colours are a nice change from your current all-black bag wardrobe. It is a bag that can be carried year round. Even if the bag is out of your usual wheelhouse, it is a good way to try something different while still being classic and chic. Delvaux is a wonderful brand, and this bag really showcases their artisanal skill. So I say keep the bag and enjoy. Unfortunately, if you do decide to sell you might take quite a loss as the brand isn’t well known on the resale market. Good luck in your decision!
