Vintage Delvaux Faust Shoulder Bag — Fully Restored, with Certificate of Authenticity (1991) A rare opportunity to own a piece of Belgian leather heritage: this is a vintage Delvaux Faust shoulder bag, one of the house's classic silhouettes, in dark blue grained leather with signature gold-tone horseshoe clasp hardware. Provenance Restoration The bag has been professionally restored by Clémentine Caudron, who trained under the chef maroquinier (master leather craftsman) at Delvaux itself. This restoration included: Deep cleaning and reconditioning of the leather, reviving its natural patina and finish Fitting of a, original Delvaux zip at the rear, adding a practical secure-access point while preserving the bag's authentic construction Careful preservation of all original hardware, stitching, and the embossed "Delvaux Bruxelles 1829" stamp inside Condition Thanks to the restoration, the leather is supple and rich in colour, with the brass-tone hardware intact and functioning smoothly. Details Front flap with horseshoe-shaped turn-clasp closure Rear zip pocket (newly fitted, original Delvaux hardware) Interior: dark blue lining and key clasp. One interior pocket with cream lining on the side. Dimensions: 42 x 34 x 12 cm Included Original Delvaux dust bag Certificate of authenticity (dated 1991) Delvaux-branded mirror This is a wonderful piece for a collector of vintage leather goods or anyone drawn to Delvaux's understated, architectural design language — made all the more special by its documented history and expert restoration.
