Delvaux Brillant Pm With A Shoulder Strap

Delvaux Brillant PM with Shoulder Strap
This vintage black Delvaux Brillant PM (Petit Modèle), featuring a shoulder strap, dates from the 1970s, Delvaux’s golden decade. During that period, the bags were entirely handmade in-house.
This vintage model, in the rather rare PM size, is crafted from high-quality “box” calfskin.
It is one of the most sought-after classics from the luxury house Delvaux. In our view as well, it is their most elegant creation.
The Brillant was designed for the Brussels World’s Fair and debuted in 1958.
This is a vintage piece with guaranteed authenticity: the carriage-shaped logo and the “Modèle Déposé” inscription were stamped directly in gold onto the leather in the 1970s and 1980s.
The bag is in very good vintage condition and has a few small cracks due to age on the top and around the closure, which are entirely consistent with its age and use. The interior of the bag is also very well-maintained, with only a few small, discreet stains. The bag comes with its original fabric dust bag.
Thanks to the additional shoulder strap, you have a “crossbody” option, which makes the bag more modern and practical. The hardware was crafted by Atelier Liesbeth Verhelst, a high-end leather goods workshop.
The handle is perfectly straight, which is exceptional given the bag’s age. The buckle, in a deep, warm gold color, bears its own hallmark and has been re-gilded.
Comes with a restoration certificate issued by professional restorer Liesbeth Verhelst, attesting to the creation of the suspension system and the gilding of the buckle.
The bag has also undergone a professional “leather wax” treatment by Atelier Patine; it is thus perfectly protected and ready for a new life. Comes with a restoration certificate attesting to the leather wax treatment performed by Atelier Patine.
