Hi I have been using my new black TB 26 for the past few days. Its very comfortable on the shoulder ( I have a painful shoulder) and its very easy to use. Its a great everyday bag but I wouldnt use it as a travel bag. Its too nice!:smile1So glad my pics helped...please show us what you finally decide to get.
Hi , I just purchased a 26 black Swift Toolbox. I actually wasn't sure of it as I was looking for a Boldie but of course there were none in stock for weeks and then I found this one in the H boutique. The nice SA suggested it may be a good idea to buy it and not let it pass. I did! I am loving the discussions and about the toolbox and what beautiful colours you guys have it with.
Congratulations on your new Toolbox! Black is so classy. Would love to see an action shot please.

Thanks for the comparison! Your TB looks fab!
bagmad73, thank you for sharing your comparison shots. I have a 35 K so your pics give me a good idea on the sizes. I'm still wavering between 20 and 26 only because I usually prefer a roomy bag even though I don't carry a lot but it's for the "just in case". I like the 20 and it'll probably fit all my stuff but I haven't used anything that small for the past 5 years so it's hard to go down a size.

I wouldnt change it if i were you. Toolbox is way lighter than bolide. More functional as well you can put tons of your stuff there and the bag is still light afterwards. But there is one thing i hate about toolbox is the strap. Its very easy to get dirty, i have a toolbox 26 in crevette and i didnt have the guts to wear that yet. Im afraid i might get a little something on that strap . But personally i would prefer toolbox 😊

I can't really help because I have both. The toolbox can hold more and since you can extend the sides, it changes the look. The bolide has a zip top, a bit more of a sleek profile than the toolbox.

i dont own a bolide but I have a toolbox. it is a very functional and chic bag. I have received many compliments when I am using the bag. Now, I use it more than I use my birkins. Put this issue aside, I believe toolbox is more difficult to get than bolide from the store...so from this aspect, maybe you will re-consider your plan to sell the toolbox and get a bolide?

Hi, may I know why you want to exchange it for a bolide? I have and love both bags but they are very different. If I were to get another one though, I would definitely try to get another Bolide first before a second Toolbox only because a dark colored one would be ideal for traveling.

Thx for all ur suggestions. The reason I would like to change is indeed about the strap. Toolbox has a canvas strap while bolide has a leather one. And it is longer for cross body use. So I am very struggle to keep it and save for another bolide.

I don't have a toolbox but I have 2 bolides which I love. The only thing about the bolide is that I find the strap to be too thin. I tend to carry more than most people and sometimes the thin strap feels awkward and cuts into my shoulder and since my bolide is rigid and the larger size, it doesn't look right hanging cross body. I would keep the toolbox and save up for a bolide as I think the toolboxes cost more when buying from the boutique. You can always keep the toolbox and get a nice pre-owned bolide.
If it is just the strap, don´t worry about it
It is much more durable than one might think!!!!
if it gets dirty you can put ´the dirty part into water with a Little bit of Soap and try to get rid of the dirt.
It worked with my strap that had been touched with daughters´-choclat-fingers
