Nature calls with Delvaux’s Spring-Summer 2021 Collection. An ode to carefree escapades, the smell of the sea and flowers swaying in a breeze, this is a celebration of life’s simple pleasures. Like a breath of fresh air, it makes innovative use of exquisite leathers, canvas and raffia as well as sophisticated printing and embroidery techniques to evoke nature’s beauty and bring all senses alive.

Spectacular new colours and la Maison’s signature craftsmanship combine to produce fresh, light designs that fit three inspiring themes. From pink country roses to shimmering blue seas and hints of gelati on the beach, the collection’s precious, handmade designs recall blissful holidays, sunny memories and stunning landscapes.

SS21 COLLECTION THE PERFECT GETAWAY

SORBET SURPRISE

Abricot is the new colour of the season. Bright and summery, it contrasts beautifully with Framboise, a deep raspberry hue, reminiscent of a mouth-watering Italian ice cream.

The Gelati animation, a standout design of the collection, features on two house icons - the Tempête PM and the Cool Box Mini. A delectable blend of melting summer colours, its swirls of Abricot and Framboise stand out on a background of crisp Optic White, an exuberance made for la dolce vita.

Meanwhile, this year’s Camaïeux is resplendent in a glory of delicious pinks. Blush, Nude and Silk Pink combine for a subtle and tender three-tone effect, creating a handcrafted statement bag that’s the epitome of femininity and style.

BUCOLIC LANDSCAPES

Evoking the beauty of sun-drenched villages of the South, golden country meadows and wild wheat fluttering in the wind, Bucolic Landscapes offers earthy tones and nature-inspired designs. Brandy, Nude and Natural Canvas all create a soft and natural look, alongside the feminine and delicate tones of Silk Pink and Blush.

Made of natural raffia, the Cool Box MM ‘Wild Wheat’ is embroidered with white and gold metallic thread for a fresh, light look that is this summer’s must-have. The precious Tempête Small meanwhile, sparkles like an exquisite jewel, adorned with the finest Mikuyi pearls in a haze of golden tones.

The highly technical ‘Climbing Roses’ is a masterpiece of the season. Spectacular handmade leather roses appear to climb up the front of the Brillant Black Edition and the Pin Mini Bucket, creating a breathtaking cascade of flowers that is at once poetic and elegant.

THE OCEAN

A declaration of love to the sea, these designs are an elegant combination of Indigo blue and Optic White. Contrasting colours and handles inspired by sailing ropes and yachting knots combine to produce nautical looks that stand the test of time.

Tempête MM Open Sea is a true titan, printed with a mesmerizing surging wave design. A subtle dégradé effect merges deep Indigo into the brightest white to produce a powerful motif. The Brillant Mini Open Sea perfectly shows off its glorious Alligator skin with a hand sprayed dégradé of blues and a glossy finish, like light bouncing off sea mist.

A sensory treat, Spring-Summer 2021 seamlessly evokes sunshine, country landscapes and glittering oceans for a collection that is as creative and innovative as it is lyrical and timeless.
