I felt the same way about the Bolide, but as you get more familiar with Hermes and develop preferences for color and leather, the Bolide becomes much more interesting. It really takes on the personality of the leather and color much more than the other bags, IMO.A BIG DITTO--its my favorite bag.............
Smaller Birkins (30cm or smaller) have totally grown on me. I want a 25cm now. *le sigh*
The age bracket is highly correlated with the price of the bag.
The Evelyne! Now I must have one!
