About the Simplissime City
Designed in 1969, the Simplissime is one of Delvaux's classic vintage-era styles alongside the Brillant (1958) and Tempête (1967). It is no longer produced by the house.
What affects this bag's resale value
- Now discontinued, which typically supports stronger resale-to-retail ratios for well-kept examples since supply is fixed
- Sold almost exclusively through vintage and resale channels today, itself evidence of sustained collector demand for a retired design
- Notable material combinations, like bi-material framboise leather, are specifically sought out by vintage buyers

Frequently asked questions
- Is the discontinued Delvaux Simplissime worth buying secondhand as an investment?
- Because it's no longer produced, well-maintained examples in sought-after leather and color combinations tend to be positioned as more collectible, though no verified resale-percentage data confirms strong price appreciation.
Delvaux (est. 1829) — Belgium's answer to Hermès — a small, tightly controlled production run and a devoted collector base have pushed resale value for pieces like the Brillant meaningfully above retail in recent years.
This is an estimated market value, not a formal appraisal. The actual value of any individual bag depends on its condition, provenance, and what a specific buyer is willing to pay. Values shown are modeled from aggregated resale market data and update periodically.
