Inside the World’s Oldest Luxury Leather Handbag House | Delvaux

The oldest luxury leather handbag house in the world probably isn’t the one you’re thinking of. It’s Delvaux, and it’s older than Belgium itself. Delvaux invited us inside its historic headquarters, private atelier, museum & flagship boutique to see it for ourselves. We step inside the leather library, watch the artisans make the Tempête, discover the techniques behind the house’s craftsmanship & explore nearly two centuries of its history. If we’re going to talk about luxury, we should probably ask what actually makes something luxurious. Founded in Brussels in 1829, Delvaux has built a legacy around craftsmanship, innovation & Belgian design. Nearly two centuries later, those ideas continue to define Delvaux, because luxury is as much about how something is made, preserved & passed down as the name stamped on it. 0:00 Intro 1:20 The History of Delvaux 2:00 Inside Delvaux Headquarters in Brussels 2:18 How a Delvaux Tempête Bag Is Made 2:52 Inside Delvaux’s Leather Library 3:58 Selecting & Cutting the Leather 4:41 Handcrafting the Delvaux Tempête 5:56 Crafting a Delvaux Wallet 7:53 Hans Op de Beeck Art Installation 10:37 Inside the Delvaux Museum 11:13 How Delvaux Handbags Made Fashion History 12:13 The Story of Delvaux’s Iconic Handbags 13:23 The Oldest Bag in the Delvaux Archive 13:40 Inside Delvaux’s Brussels Flagship Boutique 14:15 Exploring the Iconic Delvaux Brillant 15:01 Delvaux, Surrealism & Belgian Design 15:25 Inside Delvaux’s Private Shopping Room 16:25 What Mak
