Les Miniatures China Dream Delvaux presents the Miniatures China Dream, a tribute of love to China and its rich culture. These three mini versions of the Brillant pay homage to the country’s fascinating customs and traditions. The Mahjong, Qipao and Chinese Lantern are hand-made in Delvaux’s ateliers using sophisticated printing techniques alongside la Maison’s unrivalled craftsmanship and playful creativity. Perfect for wearing, carrying and collecting, these delightful charms follow in the footsteps of la Maison’s Miniatures, collections that highlight and honour the beauty of cultural emblems around the world. The Mahjong embodies an age-old Chinese tradition, skilfully incorporating colourful playing tiles into its design. The Qipao elegantly evokes the iconic Chinese dress with a feminine grace, a blush pink fan made of Box Calf and a golden pankou knot. Finally, the Chinese Lantern brings whimsy to the mix with a lipstick red tassel and a vinyl casing that can be joyously lit up. Miniatures China Dream will be exclusively sold in avant-première on JD.Com from August 17 until August 19. On sale in all Delvaux boutiques across China from August 20.

Delvaux Opens a New Flagship in Beijing
DELVAUX OPENS A NEW FLAGSHIP IN BEIJING Delvaux continues its strategy of international expansion and strengthens its presence in China by opening a new boutique in Beijing. Situated in the exclusive, new-expanded China World Mall, one of the first luxury shopping centres of Beijing, it is located in the prosperous Chaoyang District. As in Brussels, Paris, London, Milan, New York or Rome, every Delvaux boutique is different from another. The boutique interior has been decorated with a pale gold metal effect, while images of the iconic Grand Place in Brussels grace the walls of the VIP room. Exotic leather pieces are beautifully showcased on a decorative black glass display and flanked by the distinctive 1960’s Angolo Armchairs by Italian designer Corrado Corradi Dell’acqua. Sense of history and contemporary aesthetics merge together to create an inimitable character imbued with Belgitude. For this brand new address, Delvaux Chairman and CEO Jean-Marc Loubier, with the support of the Milanese architectural studio Vudafieri Saverino Partners, has developed an exceptional boutique façade. Delvaux’s signature white wooden panelling has been enriched with illuminated gold metal stripes, giving a surprising warmth to the outside walls. Delvaux China World boutique will be the first Delvaux store to offer onsite personalisation, a service which allows clients to personalise purchased items by adding their initials to them. Clients can choose from two exclusive Delvaux fonts, including one which has been specially developed with Delvaux’s signature crown for each letter. Available in different sizes, clients have a multitude of choices for customising their leather designs with their own personal style and fantasy.

The Making of a Delvaux Bag: a Legacy of Artisanal Craftsmanship
The making of a Delvaux bag: A legacy of artisanal craftsmanship Delvaux, inventor of the handbag If Delvaux is renowned and celebrated for the quality of its creations, it is in large part thanks to the meticulous, skilled craftsmanship that is at the heart of the company’s legacy and strategy. Founded in 1829 and official supplier to Belgium’s royal family since 1883, Delvaux was the first leather maker to file patents for handbags, as early as 1908. More than 3,000 handbag designs are recorded in Le Livre d’Or, including timeless and iconic pieces which are constantly reinvented, such as the Brillant (1958), the Mutin (1962), the Tempête (1967), the Pin (1972) or the Madame (1977). Exceptional savoir-faire At Delvaux, the making of all its products is entrusted to artisans possessing a rare level of expertise. With passion and precision, these skilled craftspeople are dedicated to la maison’s heritage which is continually reaffirmed with the creation of the finest contemporary classics—genuine works of art. Specialized in handling fine leathers,la maison’s artisans find fertile ground for expressing their expertise: they work with hides coming from the best French and Italian tanneries. These selected hides are reworked and assembled in Delvaux’s European ateliers. Selected according to the strictest criteria, rare leathers such as alligator, galuchat, ostrich, lizard and python are a Delvaux specialty. Only the highest quality skins are chosen as the foundation for crafting unique and precious designs. A unique site Entering the Arsenal in Brussels—the historic building that houses Delvaux—one has a sense of being immersed in a singular world.

Brussels, 2020 Founded in Brussels in 1829, Delvaux Is the Oldest Fine
Brussels, 2020 Founded in Brussels in 1829, Delvaux is the oldest fine leather luxury goods company in the world. Since then, la Maison has continued to produce its exceptional creations without interruption. Delvaux is the inventor of the luxury leather handbag: Official Purveyor to the Royal Court of Belgium since 1883, it was the first to officially register a patent for a bag in 1908. After being acquired by First Heritage Brands in 2011, Delvaux flourished internationally. The story behind this long–established company is as fascinating as it is unique, and yet Delvaux was very nearly going to disappear, victim of the growth of the major international brands from France and Italy and a galloping globalisation process. With the greatest respect for the Maison and its roots, we have gone on to develop an ultimate brand with rare style and depth. We do much more than just meet a demand for novelty, as Delvaux proposes extraordinary, timeless leather goods. The combination of modernity, daring design and absolute quality provides our clients with the complete satisfaction lasting well beyond the moment. Delvaux is therefore naturally in tune with the major changes currently taking place in society, the different generations and the mix of both global and local cultures. Since 2011, we have invested significantly in our workshops, people and organisation, creation, as well as the internationalisation of our direct store network, each one of our stores being unique. This enabled us to successfully complete the first stage of our strategy by establishing a major point of reference in luxury. The revenues multiplied by 10.

Delvaux Miniatures So British
DELVAUX MINIATURES SO BRITISH Iconic and playful, the Brillant is one of the jewels of la Maison Delvaux, the beloved leather goods House that reigns from the Kingdom of Belgium. For its 1958 arrival in the world, the newborn Brillant was presented at the Brussels World’s Fair. Presiding over the the Brillant’s baptism, Baudouin I, King of the Belgians, bestowed his blessings on the newly arrived creation. Since then, with its aristocratic and joyous imagination, the Brillant has never stopped reinventing itself. A product of the finest leathergoods tradition, and having stood the test of generations of kings and queens, the Brillant merrily mixes it up—playing with conventions and lending itself to fantasy reinterpretations. To celebrate the opening of Delvaux’s London boutiques on Sloane Street and on New Bond, the Brillant now exists in the form of the “Miniatures So British”. This collection of four Charms embodies la Maison’s tradition of “Miniatures”, small masterpieces of fine leather craft, combined here with the emblematic symbols of England—a monarchy that is also distinguished by a high degree of fantasy. Embossing, screen printing, and micro-techniques are used to create these four designs—four clins d’oeils, that is to say, four cheeky winks and nods—requiring artisanal savoir-faire. A mecca of alternative culture, the Camden Town neighbourhood lends its name to a miniature Brillant that is as punk as can be. Dressed up in black—like Sid Vicious’ hair— its iconic tartan plaid is enhanced with patent leather, thanks to highly sophisticated printing techniques. Here and there, safety pins and piercings are studded across its miniature body.
