PHOTO COURTESY OF DELVAUX
Beyond the Brillant, the Tempête stands as another Delvaux icon. Born in 1967, it epitomised modernist-chic with its trapezoidal structure and architectural beauty. But what happens when this classic silhouette meets the unstoppable momentum of contemporary life? Delvaux answers with a subtle evolution, introducing new expressions in supple Derby calf leather.
In today’s world, the boundaries between day and night, work and play, constantly blur. Modern consumers prize capacity, versatility and ease, even in their most cherished pieces. That’s where the latest Tempête, offered in two sizes, comes in. Derby calf leather softens the silhouette, making it more relaxed, pliable and ready for real life.
The voluminous proportions speak to function and elegance. The Tempête L, which measures 37 cm by 25 cm, and the Tempête XL at 43.5 cm by 30 cm, offer ample space for a tablet, travel shawl and everyday essentials. They also carry the grace of heritage with the practicality of modern life.
This season, new colourways refresh the lineup. Originally offered in Black, Tan and Sesame hues, the Tempête L (SGD11,600) now also comes in Stone, a refined neutral grey with palladium hardware. Whereas the Tempête XL (SGD13,000) is available in Angora, Black, Ivory and Pool, each offering a distinct personality.
The relaxed Tempête is not a compromise of craftsmanship, but an expression of confidence. It demonstrates that heritage houses, like Delvaux, have the capacity to constantly adapt and innovate without losing their soul.
