Okay, so I’ve been thinking about getting a really nice handbag, you know, the kind that lasts forever. And I kept hearing about this brand, Delvaux. Turns out, they’re like the oldest luxury leather goods company in the world – since 1829! That’s way before other big names. Anyway, I got super interested, especially because I was going to be in New York.
I found out they have this flagship store right on Fifth Avenue, near Central Park. So, I made it a priority to go. Stepping into the store, I was immediately struck by the elegant and classy atmosphere. The sales assistants were super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better.
First off, the store is huge – two floors! And the view of Central Park is amazing. They had all their classic bags, like the Brillant. This bag has been around since 1958, and I can see why. It’s so elegant! They told me it was inspired by some pavilion designed by Le Corbusier. I felt like I was holding a piece of history, you know?
We talked a bit about how the bags are made, and I learned that they’re really an investment. They hold their value, and some even appreciate. Plus, they have a lifetime warranty! That’s incredible. I felt like I could pass this bag down for generations. It was not just about buying a bag; it was about joining a legacy of craftsmanship and elegance.
While I was there, they offered me champagne and these delicious Belgian chocolates – talk about feeling fancy! It was such a treat. I spent a good amount of time just browsing, touching the different leathers, and imagining myself with these bags. It was a truly immersive experience. They even had a special collection in light of their New York opening, showcasing unique pieces that were inspired by the city’s vibrant energy.
At the end of the day, I didn’t end up buying a bag that day, but the whole experience was amazing. It solidified my thoughts on getting a Delvaux bag. It’s not just a purchase, It’s like an investment in a piece of art that you can carry around. I’m still deciding which one to get, but I know it’ll be a Delvaux. I’ll definitely be going back to that store.
Here are a few things that really stood out to me:
- History: Delvaux is the oldest luxury leather goods company. That’s wild!
- Location: The store on Fifth Avenue is stunning, with a great view.
- Service: The staff were so nice and helpful, and the champagne and chocolates were a nice touch.
- Quality: These bags are built to last, and they have a lifetime warranty.

My Takeaway
Visiting the Delvaux store in New York was an experience in itself. Even though I didn’t buy a bag that day, it confirmed that Delvaux is the brand for me. The sense of history, the quality of the bags, and the overall experience were unforgettable. I’m excited to eventually own one of these beautiful pieces and feel like I’m carrying a little piece of art with me every day.
