Bag of the Week is a franchise that highlights the latest, most hyped luxury bags. Each week, we showcase a bag that is generating significant buzz, whether for its design, exclusivity, or popularity. This week, we’re shining the spotlight on the Delvaux Brillant Mini Tulips Bag.
This week’s pick is more than just a handbag—it’s a poetic tribute to the power of nature, femininity, and craft. Delvaux Brillant Mini “Tulips”, part of the maison’s new “Language of Nature” collection, celebrates the enduring charm of Art Nouveau with a lush, romantic flair that feels timely.
Launched alongside an exclusive pop-up at K11 MUSEA in Hong Kong, the “Language of Nature” collection invites us into a floral reverie—one that recalls the elegance of curving lines, organic forms, and the harmony between art and the natural world. The Brillant Mini “Tulips” is at the heart of this vision: a bag that wears its inspiration proudly, as if nature itself bloomed in leather and thread.
Crafted by Delvaux’s skilled artisans, this version of the house’s iconic Brillant silhouette features tulip flowers lovingly wrapped around its handle, each petal brought to life through an intricate, multi-step process. Lambskin petals are stiffened with a starch-based finish, sculpted with heated tools, and hand-assembled to mimic the delicate curvature of real blossoms. Stems and leaves—complete with hand-stitched detailing to emulate their natural grooves—are then artfully affixed to the body of the bag.
It’s a labor of love that speaks to Delvaux’s heritage of savoir-faire, but it also reflects something deeper: a return to slow beauty. In a world leaning ever further into the industrial and digital, Brillant Mini “Tulips” reminds us of the soulfulness of handwork and the artistry of imperfection. Like the Art Nouveau movement that inspired it—spearheaded by visionary figures like Belgian architect Victor Horta—this collection finds poetry in curves and stories in craftsmanship.
There’s something unmistakably feminine about the Brillant Mini “Tulips”—not just in its floral details, but in the quiet confidence it exudes, embodies the art of carrying beauty with intention. For those who believe that a bag can be more than a fashion statement, Delvaux’s Brillant Mini “Tulips” is a wearable heirloom, a whisper of spring stitched into every petal.
