Founded by Charles Delvaux in Brussels in 1829, Delvaux is the oldest fine leather goods house in the world. A truly Belgian brand, it was born a year before the Kingdom of Belgium came into existence and has been crafting and designing without interruption in its workshops since then. Official purveyor to the Royal Court of Belgium since 1883, Delvaux has always shared and celebrated Belgian cultural references and values.
Charles Delvaux is known as the inventor of the modern handbag. A visionary of his time, he anticipated the necessity for women to keep their precious belongings at hand as Belgium became the epicentre of the global travel revolution, with the highest density of rail networks by 1875. He filed the first-ever leather handbag patent in 1908.
The brand remains at the forefront of luxury leather goods two centuries later. It is famous for its emblematic handbag creations, including The Brillant (1958), The Tempête (1967), The Pin (1972) and The Lingot (2022). With over 3,000 designs in its archive, it has earned a well-deserved reputation for its savoir faire, uncompromising craftsmanship and the outstanding quality of its creations the perfect complement to the modern-day woman.
