Light signs of use and more marked patina on the edge piping (where it rests), normal for a 22-year-old vintage item. Suede lining: normal signs of use for a vintage item of this age, structure intact, no holes or tears. Slight crushing / wrinkling of the leather around the clasp's rivet.

Why this piece A carefully preserved bag: intact structure, preserved leather, original stitching in place — a rare quality of conservation for a vintage item of this age. An ideal piece for a Delvaux collector or a lover of authenticated vintage. A bag from a Belgian Maison, handmade, traceable to its original boutique — a rare selling point on the second-hand market. The Houblon colour is iconic of the early 2000s Delvaux collections and has become very rare on the pre-owned market.
