Delvaux Magritte Bowler hat "trompe l'oeuil" coin card case 2022

Delvaux's René Magritte Black Box Calf Trompe L'Oeil Bowler hat coin card is Delvaux's playful twist with what is one of René Magritte's most iconic symbols of surrealism. Magritte's art tricked the mind, not just the eye and his famous bowler hat, which can be seen in more than 50 different paintings into surreal scenarios was in fact a cultural mirror. The floating apples and faceless business men wearing bowler hats, were his statement against the boring Belgian middle class's bourgeois ideal, that he came across in its every day life. Quietly Magritte asked us to look closer at everyday things - to find the hidden realities, the strange things in our daily lives.

Delvaux captures this sentiments in its smooth black leather crafted coin card wallet finished with the iconic bowler hat motif in contrasting ivory leather - where also nothing is as it seems and the hat finally reveals a half moon, also common symbol of Magritte's paintings. Whilst Magritte brought the humour with the trompe l'oeil to this wallet, Delvaux brought the champagne by coupling it with easy understated elegance and heritage craftsmanship, as you can expect in perfect surrealism.

As you would expect this wallet is not just a wallet - it is a collector piece.
