I'm thinking of buying a bolide for work? Any info as to practicality or preferable leathers that would take a bit of a beating?
Bolides

I have two bolides and love them both. They are both functional and stylish.
Mine are both 37cm--one in togo and one in fjord. Each leather is very durable--the difference is in the slouch. The togo is slouchy, while fjord is stiff and really maintains the bolide shape.

Hi there, I just found this thread while I was looking for the "Ode to the Bolide" thread. I am a fairly recent convert to the Bolide having purchased one this summer; she's a 37cm. Hermes Orange w/ph in swift. I own one Birkin (avatar) one Kelly and one Bolide and the Bolide is my favorite of the three. I'm planning on adding another one to my H collection this year. What I like about them is their wonderful practicallity and subtle stylishness. You can fit tons of stuff in the 37cm and have privacy with the zipper. Depending on the color you select and type of leather they can be dress appropriate (good for work) or more casual. I hope you find a Bolide that you absolutely love.
The Bolide is a super bag. I have one in 37 togo and love it. Looks brand spanking new.
The only thing is if you consider it for work that you cannot put a laptop in it and also no documents in A4 because of the bag's shape. Other than that, it's super. I like it especially for travel because of the accessibility and the shoulder strap.
