Vintage Delvaux top handle box calf 1967 navy

For the Autumn/Winter 1967 season, Delvaux introduced Les Bonbons, a collection inspired by the world of fine confectionery. The bags behind it became a testimony of the remarkable design of the maison - still evident now close to 70 years after 

Designed by Geneviève Deshayes, its architectural lines pour together as smoothly as a sweet caramel waiting to set and its translucent navy aniline tainted leather showcasts the impressive quality one can witness only on a vintage Delvaux - where the hand selected hides and the superior craftsmanship was put to its test every day and fully controlled by a single artisan.

The impressive feature of this vintage Delvaux is the extraordinary quality of its box calf leather, which is ravishing. Today, half a century later, the leather has matured, it has developed an unmistakable warmth and depth, showcasing the living character that only the finest full-grain box calf skin can acquire with time. It is a quality that cannot be manufactured—only selected, carefully crafted and patiently aged.

Rare to source this is a bag for the keepers that know that the piece they hold is irreplaceable and needs the love it fully deserves.
