Your Bolide is perfect. A friend just revealed to me in a Zoom cocktail party her new Clemence Rouge (something bright) Bolide, also a 31.Hi Cookie, thanks for your kind words, Etain is one of my favourite H colours. It goes well with my black, grey, white and navy wardrobe. Thanks for the Camera Case love. It has good capacity and is one of my smaller grey bags. It doesn’t have the continuous chain strap the older versions have which allows you to wear it crossbody. I recall @catsinthebag got her Reissue Camera Case chain modified or extended. I wonder if she wears it more often now?
I admired @papertiger ‘s and @Pessie ’s Bolides for a long time before finding the one for me. I love my Bolide. It is a great day bag that works for my lifestyle and fits what I carry with extra room. It has two handles, a long strap and a zipper. It was in my top 4 most carried bags of 2019. The colour, leather (Clemence with Swift interior), shape/style and capacity work for me. I can wear it with dressy and more casual outfits. The bag style has been around for a long time, the original design in 1923 was the first bag with a zipper. My Bolide is a size 31 and it comes in smaller and larger sizes. I like the under the radar style of the Bolide. The Bolide is one of my favourite bags in my collection. Here’s a little more eye candy.

Thank you cowgirlsboots! I did an earlier series of pics of bag/scarf/pen combos when I was trying to rotate my pens, like the extra pic of my Bolide I included above. When I am appreciating what I already have it makes it hard for any potential new additions, they have to be really special.
My Bolide is too big (37) and, I think, too stiff (Rouge H box and olive canvas). It's beautiful, but doesn't really get much use. Someday I will rehome it, and think about a small, more supple B like yours!
I hope you find the perfect Bolide for your needs and preferences.
In the store, there were clusters of women chatting about nothing. (Maybe men chat in clusters but, it was soccer mom Monday at the grocery store today.) C’mon ladies. Call or Skype your friends - the grocery store is NOT a social gathering place. Further, patrons had no qualms about grabbing around people to get items. Why? Take your time and wait your turn. Sheesh. Do you need your eggs in the next 30 seconds? No. Calm down.
