gina LOL, me too, I fell for Hiheels lyrical thread and I am so glad; my Bolide is my favourite bag now. I LOVE your Bolide. I decided on the opposite for me, 31cm structured leather. Now I know how wonderful these Bolides are, I am hoping to add another one in mou 37cm to round out (I daren't say finish) my collection.
Your story is so great, and the photos are amazing, your Bolide really does take on the colours of her surrounding, I had never considered graphite before, I always go for neutral tans, but your description and photos are very tempting. Anyway, congratulations on your wonderful Bolide.
