Magritte
Witty, whimsical and one of a kind.
Delvaux presents the Magritte Collection, a playful collection that reaffirms la Maison’s commitment to the arts and its unique partnership with the Magritte Foundation. Featuring René Magritte’s unique oeuvre in its creations, it is suffused with surrealist spirit, trompe l’oeil effects and unexpected, humorous twists. A heartfelt homage to one of Belgium’s greatest artists.
Ceci n’est pas un Delvaux
No Magritte collection would be complete without the Brillant Humour. Its enigmatic text (which means this is not a Delvaux), makes playful reference to the artist’s legendary painting ‘The Treachery of Images,’ and has become a firm Delvaux favourite. Elegant in black or sky blue with contrasting white writing, it is utterly transformed in ivory. Its near-translucent writing captures the light, giving a beautifully pure effect. A limited edition wonder.
“A truly poetic canvas is an awakened dream” – Magritte
When nothing is as it seems
The Magritte Collection comes with a wide range of functional and witty small leather goods, from playful pochettes and travel wallets to enigmatic charms. Making use of the ‘trompe l’oeil’ effect much favored by Magritte, they can reveal and conceal symbols such as doves and bowler hats, depending on how they are worn.
Fun and chic they come in classic color variations including Noir, Navy, Ivory, Ciel and Nude.
“Everything we see hides another thing” – Magritte
Something for him
The Magritte Collection has something for everyone, including a complete range of bags and accessories for men. Whether for travel, shopping or work, the men’s collection emits elegance and style, all with a surreal twist.
Unique to the men’s collection are handles shaped like a bowler hat and a specially conceived soft lining. Printed with Magritte’s Golconda, his well-known painting of floating men dressed in suits and bowler hats, reinterpreted in shades of grey and Ivory.
“Art evokes the mystery without which the world would not exist”
Travel ready with the D-off
The D-off is for when work ends and fun begins, or vice-versa. A practical weekender bag, its size makes it the perfect piece for a city trip or travels further afield. Casual yet elegant, it has soft grips on the handles, an adjustable shoulder strap and a big outer pocket ideal for travel tickets and documents. The keyhole detail on the front flap is a nod to Magritte’s painting Le Sourire du Diable, while the inside has a handy double pocket and an exquisite Golconda lining. Available in Navy-Noir and Ivory-Noir the casual-chic D-off is always ready to take off.
