Born in 1967, the Tempête bag is one of the most striking designs of the Delvaux House; In March 2023, Tempête bags were once again in the spotlight. The architecturally sleek and simple construction and striking metal clasps make the Tempête bag the ultimate symbol of minimalism, inadvertently revealing an unparalleled artistic tension. Sculptural shapes and glamorous charm, carrying the theme of the new season, make Tempête go beyond the meaning of traditional accessories to become a favorite choice.
The photographs by Tanya and Zhenya Posternak show the dreamy gravity of Tempête's bags, accentuating the exquisite quality of leather and the elegance of the silhouette against the backdrop of the human body. The photographer used a short lens to magnify the unique and unpredictable qualities of Tempête's bag – straightforward, powerful, feminine and playful. The collection is complemented by new shades and designs, such as Opéra Calf calf leather, the finest choice of fine leather, which delicately presents the cheerful and relaxing bright colours of the Tempête Crush bag. These colours are so captivating and stylish that this beloved piece is an indispensable look. Tempête Crush bags are like heroines, full of power and confidence.
