Many England soccer fans were “gutted” by their World Cup semi-final defeat by Croatia. So Belgian fine leather goods maison Delvaux’s latest Miniature collection could cheer them up. Its latest mini-bag designs look sophisticated – and pay homage to British culture.

Delvaux presents its ‘Buckingham Palace’ Miniature bag in an intriguing portrait by Tim Walker.

Delvaux celebrates the July 11 opening of its two new boutiques in London’s Bond Street and Sloane Street with the addition of four “Les Miniatures So British” products to the maison’s traditional “Miniature” line. All the new items are in the shape of its classic handbag, Le Brilliant.

Delvaux’s ‘Trafalgar Square’ bag blends the brand’s Belgian wit with the British love of edgy dressing and tradition in a portrait by Tim Walker.

The collection’s new products are named “Trafalgar Square”, “Piccadilly Circus”, “Camden Town” and “Buckingham Palace” – and all bring a British vibe to the Belgian brand, carrying the names and features of four of London’s most popular locations.

The leather house invited creative photographer Tim Walker and set designer Simon Costin to portray its latest bags’ charms with a surrealistic visual story laced with punk and royal attitudes.
