The Delvaux Madame Bag is all about subtle luxury

As much fun as It Bags and logos can be from time to time, in some cases you just want to fly under the radar. maybe it’s a situation in which something conspicuous isn’t suitable (think a professional event or job interview), or maybe you’re just not feeling particularly flashy. good taste is, well, always in good taste. luxury handbags are rarely inconspicuous, though – even tween starlets are carrying Celine these days. That’s where the Delvaux Madame Bag comes in.

Despite being nearly 200 years old, Brussels-based Delvaux is a brand that’s chosen to restrict itself to only a small, exclusive clientele. That implies that bags like the Madame are every bit as glamorous and well-crafted as pieces from much more well-known designers, but they’re not quite so right away recognizable. Although Delvaux can in some cases edge into “old lady” territory with some of its much more conventional pieces, bags like the Madame (which converts from a classic take on bag to a much more functional crossbody with just a few snaps) have helped modernize the brand for a much more modern audience. In these muted tones, the bag is ideal for spring.
