Introduced in the early 2000s, the Delvaux Embellie takes its name from the French word for refinement — which refers to an improvement, enhancement or a moment of renewed elegance. It evokes the idea of something being subtly elevated rather than transformed outright - a refinement rather than excess, like the smell of a perfume or a losely draped foulard around the neck. In this sense this Delvaux bag really remains true to the maison's philosophy - it is not there to seek attention, it wants to elevate through providing balance, proportion, and excellence in craftsmanship. It is a bag that wants luxury to be felt rather than displayed and hence accompanies instead of announcing the carrier. Only a little d-griffe on the side of the bag hints to making to who stands behind its elegant silhouette moulded in beautiful ravello jumping leather. It can be carried on an extendable strap - as crossbody or short against the waste and carries all daily essentials. This is a bag for every day - always looking elegant, whilst staying private all the same.
