Your bag is empty
When it comes to fashion, the term ‘investment piece’ is often thrown around to describe useful seasonal wardrobe staples, but the truest use of the term describes an item that will get you through a lifetime of closet crises - and maybe even become a valuable heirloom thereafter. No piece fits the brief quite like a Delvaux bag. Here’s why:
Founded in 1829, Belgium-born Delvaux is the first luxury leather goods house in the world - so old it predates the creation of Belgium itself. With almost 3000 designs and nearly two centuries of experience under the label’s belt (including the survival of two world wars) no other accessory brand is as rich in history and heritage.
The quality of a Delvaux bag will easily last a lifetime, and while the end design is often stamped with a sophisticated simplicity, the process of creation doesn’t lack complexity. Take the brand’s most iconic design, the Brilliant, for example - passing through the hands of 10 people, taking 25 hours to complete, and made out of no fewer than 64 separate pieces of leather.
When it comes staying in vogue, few fashion items have stood the test of time the way a Delvaux handbag has. Over the course of the brand’s lifespan so far, styles have been spotted on royals such as Jackie Kennedy and Queen Mathilde, modern day pop icons Rihanna and Laga Gaga and best-dressed regulars Sarah Jessica Parker and Alexa Chung.
For Delvaux fans looking for an extra special piece, a state-of-the-art Tempête Gladiator handbag crafted entirely out of vinyl modules will be exclusively available at Lane Crawford Hong Kong in November.
