The Oldest Fine Leather Goods House in the World

1829

In 1829, a year before Belgium claimed its independence, Charles Delvaux established la Maison Delvaux, opening his inaugural travel goods workshop in the heart of Brussels. Orders swiftly poured in from Rue Neuve, Boulevard du Nord, and Rue de l’Empereur, with every artisan hand on deck.

Since 1908, over three thousand designs have been meticulously catalogued in “le Livre d’Or,” the sacred repository of la Maison Delvaux’s unparalleled craftsmanship and innovative spirit.

Belgium, a realm where surrealism flourishes and radical fashion stands proudly alongside a profound respect for heritage, has honored la Maison Delvaux as the official purveyor to the Royal Court since 1883. La Maison seamlessly blends an unwavering commitment to the highest standards of quality with a delightful sense of irony and light-hearted irreverence, imbuing each design with a uniquely unconventional take on luxury.

Delvaux's presence spans the globe, with more than fifty boutiques that serve as exquisite spaces where traditional design elegantly intersects with modernity, epitomizing the brand’s art de vivre. Carefully construct ed to reflect not only the imperial legacy of their locations, but also affirming and celebrating Delvaux's own rich roots, each Delvaux bout ique is unique.

Amidst the vibrant activit y of the Delvaux workshop in Brussels’ Arsenal district, the MuséeDelvaux stands as a singular space dedicated to the storied history of the handbag. Today, la Maison Delvaux proudly celebrates nearly two centurie of audacious creativity, unmatched excellence, and timeless beauty.
