Elevated Individuality Through Exquisite Craftsmanship: The Evolving World of Delvaux Bags
For nearly 200 years since its founding, Delvaux has continued to innovate while preserving tradition. In this new collection, Delvaux has incorporated new techniques such as the Leather D technique, giving its iconic "Brillant" and "Pin" bags designs with enhanced individuality.
The Leather D technique achieves unprecedented tactile qualities, visual appeal, and breathability in leather. Delicate, D-shaped leather tiles are meticulously hand-stitched to create an astonishingly soft and supple drape. Additionally, the Enlaced technique, where Delvaux artisans weave delicate leather "macramé" and spiral it around the D-shaped buckle of the "Cool Box" and the distinctive buckle and handle of the "Brillant," also contributes to the bags' unique character.
The collection's visuals were created by Koto Bolofo, a South African photographer known for his powerful work. The campaign features three talented women: Lily McMenamy, a model, performer, and actress; Hanae O'Neill, a premiere danseuse at the Paris Opera Ballet; and Nyasha Matonhodze, a fashion model and activist. The portrait series, titled "L’Oeil de Koto Bolofo" (The Eye of Koto Bolofo), vividly captures the essence of this collection.
