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!

It is so so so beautiful and unique!!!! I would not sell it. The quality is so good and the design is so timeless it'll last you a very long time. It'll be a really nice change from your current collection. Honestly, if you try it out and decide you don't want it, the resell value won't be that much affected since the resale value for Delvaux is low.

Yes, its the Tribal Stitching and you're right about the resale market. If I did sell, it would be a huge loss. I am bored of my "safe" black bags. This Delvaux definitely is classic but eye catching and I can use it all year round. Thanks for your feedback! :)

Thank you so much! I do really love it. I think I'm only doubting because I spent way too much in last few months. I love how low key the brand is. Not many people carry Delvaux around my area. I think I'm leaning towards keeping the bag! Thanks for your feedback! :)

@Sheikha Latifa Yah you got the cool box in that AMAZING silver crispy calf. I absolutely love how they did this leather. I don't have the style you just got, but I was at that same location like, 2 weeks ago and saw this? The way the "D" pulls back with the zipper is super cool. Congrats!!

I know. I just read your post about going there! What a coincidence
Did you see the coral ostrich? Wow (I’m breathing heavily when thinking/writing about it)... And the ombré alligator? Too formal for me, the cool box is more my style. But still - wow...
The gladiator looks cool and interesting but heavy and not really practical

There were so many I could have taken home. The Brillant Diva had just arrived, and wow. If I were still in a city, that is the most stunning "city bag" I've seen!! Ok these are the alligators I saw that made me swoon....

Their alligators are amazing. The ombré one is just a peace of art. But honestly, I don’t need them other than look at them and admire

Well if I just had tons of cash to blow :biggrin: but for now, yeah, I can look and admire. The ostrich tho, theirs is the most beautiful supple ostrich I've ever seen. If they did some sort of ombre/ metallic/ iridescent in that, I am afraid I might not be able to say no.

Oh I so agree. The Delvaux artisans have a touch with exotic leathers that is the best in the handbag world. Some other houses just glue some skin onto a frame, and have done with it, charging the customer premium prices for mediocre work. While Delvaux gets the best out of each skin, producing as you say a work of art with each bag.

What I like about Delvaux, it’s kind of “for those in the know”. It’s not what the crowd near Harrods carries (they prefer Gucci, Balenciaga and Off-White)

Absolutely: a bit under the radar. Plus the service is lovely - no game playing required to purchase a bag as with othet brands that shall remain unnamed.:cool:
