Delvaux vintage chinon toile de cuir 1997

Chinon is not just a name, but a place that lingers in mind - very much like its wine marked by a subtle balance of fruits - always prioritising elegance over intensity. The town of Chinon is set gently between stone walls and vineyards in the middle of the Loire valley - it is a quiet place full of traditions, which are lived, more than they are preserved. It is what inspired the concept behind this beautiful 1997 created Delvaux crossbody - which even now 30 years later keeps within the same sense of continuity.

Crafted in a magnificently woven toile de cuir leather, it reflects an effortless dialogue between utility and refinement. The toile de cuir offers subtle structure and ease and its volume retains safely all your daily essentials with discression.

Designed to accompany rather than define you, it is a piece made for movement. Worn as a crossbody, it leaves the hands free for the everyday: a morning walk, a train caught within last minute, a run through the vinyards. Flexibility is allowed by its simply adjustable strap. This is an elegant and timeless bag and it is in excellent condition and has the ability to please many future generations just as it did  its previous owner within the last 30 years.
