Delvaux does not make It bags. Other high fashion brands may launch new designs according to seasonal trends every year, but that has not been the strategy for the Belgian company, which is the oldest leather luxury goods house in the world.
Charles Delvaux founded the company in Brussels in 1829, producing handmade leather trunks and suitcases for wellheeled travellers as train travel began to take off. With the success of his bespoke luggage, Delvaux turned his attention to the 19th-century woman’s need to carry her personal effects close at1908, the company registered the first ever patent for the leather handbag.
