Delvaux offers what the majority of luxury fashion companies can no longer offer and that is luxury in the purest sense of the world. The world around us evolves and the brand name has evolved also.

The brand name began life in 1829 in Brussels and today is one of the oldest fine leather luxury goods and fashion companies throughout the world. Charles Delvaux added a window to his shop and this was the birth of what would become one of the biggest fashion brand names associated with leather luxury goods. Connoisseurs came from near and far to admire handcrafted trunks of the very best. He expanded his range of products which included luggage, boxes and suitcases.

In 1898 the brand name was one of the first to register the Edison trunk. Franz Schwennicke took over the brand name and introduced the concept of a seasonal collection for fashion handbags. From this time on all of their creations were listed in the Gold Book with the year of their conception and the designer. An icon was born in 1958 when Delvaux launched the Brilliant handbag at the Brussels World Fair. Wife Solange took over the business in 1970 and began to establish the brand name abroad and developed the companies creativity with selected designers, and reinforced its knowhow and variety of leathers. Today the company is managed by Francois Schennicke and Christian Salez, the share holding remains in the hands of the family. In fact, for the past two centuries the brand name has remained a family owned company so as to protect the values of the company, quality, exclusivity and taste, along with being able to offer customers the ultimate when it comes to luxurious experiences. The brand name stands apart thanks to its sense of humor in the Delvaux style. The hallmark is their outstanding craftsmanship and their commitment to the highest quality and very best of materials that are used in the strictly limited edition products.

They have always been an innovative company that has never ignored the past both when looking for inspiration in its design and in the dedication to loyal customers from around the world. The after sales service begins in the shop where staff is on hand to offer fashion advice including the maintenance of bags. This is then continued to the arsenal where the leather stocks are kept from many years ago.

The Houses long tradition of innovation is always fresh thanks to external fashion designers who help to bring a new perspective while at the same time having a respect of values which have ensured the name Delvaux are known around the world for their exclusivity and excellence.
