This is much better value for money than the BV pouch since it can be carried top handle or on the shoulder!
Not only that, but both of the straps can be removed and the bag can become a clutch
I don't know how different the leather would feel, though, when compared to that of the BV Pouch.
I will have to vote for the BV pouch on this one, myself. Not that I’m justifying spending the money for it, but this Miu Miu bag is extremely inferior IMO. That top handle is ... not my cup of tea lol.
And I love them all except for I don't need the brand of my bag written on the side, which is one reason why the Bolide is such a discreet pleasure to carry.
Gucci Catherine (and Gucci dome bag called by many other model names) is another in this family.
They both serve a purpose for sure. I have no clue about the quality of Miu Miu. I know BV is high quality because I have owned quite a few.
Also, the Prada Promenade, another cousin to the Hermes Bolide, Balenciaga Ville, LV Alma, Gucci Catherine (thank you, Papertiger, that one completely escaped me):
And the Miu Miu Dome (?) bag:

I am adding this Longchamp bag to the Bolide cousins:
This bag by Sancia reminds me of many a Chloe bag that has come before.
Sancia ‘Babylon’ bag, $299
Chloe Marcie, $1190
Chloe Nile, $1000+

I love this one
You seem to know a lot about different bag brands, loving your posts in this thread!
Yes. I have this bag and love if. One of my favorites.
This Tory Burch Walker satchel looks a lot like the Saint Laurent Sac de Jour and the Burberry Title, but for a quarter of the price:
I love this one
That’s kind of you to say - I’m not sure that I know a lot about bags, but I definitely spend waaay too much time looking at them on the Internet.
I know right? I think it looks borderline good as just a middle piece when the longer strap is worn, but when I saw it held in the hand on their website, I was like ehhhhh.

Pleated buckets... I don’t know that Polene IS trying to be like the Mansur Gavriel with this offering, but they are very similar and I believe the MG came first.
Polene Numero Huit, $290
Mansur Gavriel bucket, $795
I much prefer the Polene myself and may be going for it sometime soon.
