Founded in Brussels, Belgium in 1829, Delvaux is renowned as the world's longest-standing luxury leather brand. It has captivated many with its elegantly shaped leather items, born from complex and sophisticated craftsmanship. Since being appointed 'Purveyor to the Belgian Royal Court' in 1883, this esteemed maison has maintained its honorable title.

This collaboration with the Belgian institutionSpace composer Junichi Tanigawamarks the debut of Delvaux's first gallery in Tokyo.

The venue, designed to evoke Delvaux's Brussels atelier, showcases works filled with the fantasy and wit of its artisans. Featuring nine special editions of the iconic Brillant bag, the space offers a glimpse into the maison's philosophy, including 'Les Humeurs de Brillant,' which translates to 'whimsical moods.'

Additionally, artistic pieces that embody Delvaux's values—such as the spirit of Belgian surrealism and unconventional designs that shine with luxury—will be on display. A pop-up shop will also open next to the gallery, offering the latest items.

Timeless yet avant-garde. Elegant yet witty. Delvaux bags are described as 'living sculptures.' We invite you to journey through the 185 years of history of this maison at the 'Delvaux Gallery.'
