There was a Bolide 25 in today’s web drop (US) but I wasn’t able to get it. I don’t see this bag often online or in person! It’s so adorable, I want to eventually get a mini Bolide in a neutral color like black or gold, but wondering how difficult it is to get one from the boutique. I’m in southern CA, my local store is pretty competitive. Thanks in advance!View attachment 5818932
They are great bags! Are you looking for a 25 or a mini?
 
When your SA orders something for you through charge send that will get shipped to your home, do you get tracking info? Also is the orange box inside a generic box? I’m nervous if it’s just the orange box, which may attract thieves.
There is a tracking #. Your orange box is in a regular brown/shipping box. If you are nervous about it, just tell your SA you want to pick up in the store.

Not sure if this is the right thread, but I'm shopping for my first Kelly and I pulled the trigger on a vintage K32 retourne in black box calf! ($8k at Collector Square). However, I'm concerned about the cracking I see on the left sangle. Will this get much worse? I don't want to have to send it to the spa immediately and I would rather just wear it, but I'm nervous that if I have to open and close the bag constantly, the sangles will wear out very quickly. Would you go ahead with the sale or cancel and look for another bag? Thank you!!

Is it really cracked or wrinkled?

I can’t tell with the whole sangle, but in the first photo I think there are cracks in the sangle along the curve near the sangle’s piping…I suppose that’s normal wear and tear but I just worry that it will break soon. Perhaps I’m worrying too much since I did a little poking around the forum’s posts and it does seem like sangles are among the first things that need to be replaced in vintage kellys.
