Ode to the bolide

Not really. One of my Bolides is Swift (10 y o) and I also have a Swift Plume (4 y o) they both look like new to me. Finer grain leathers show scratches more easily but some 'magically' disappear with the wave of a finger on Swift.
I am careful to store the handles of the Plumes upright or they'll eventually leave 'smiles'. It was on its side and in a box but I prefer it out for convenience.
The smaller the Bolide the more the structured it'll look.
Clemence will usually slouch, and swift is not rigid either. If anyone wants real structure go for Epsom or (on vintage bags) one of the other stamped leathers.
So excited to introduce my new to me bolide 31 in rouge grenat!!

Miss Rouge Grenat got all dressed up and came to work with me today!
What a beauty !! congrats. I got a Rouge Caseque Bolide and used the same twillies as you. Love Bolide.
@holdmystars
I love your red Bolide 31
My two choices were the black or red. I ended up getting the black.
I have been thinking of getting a comfortable black ‘crossbody’ strap for my Bolide 31.
Is your wide red strap a Hermes crossbody strap? Do you like it better than its thin shoulder strap?
What is the exact name of your strap?
Thanks in advance.. and enjoy your beautiful bag....

I am using the samorga insert in my bolide 31 and it fits in nicely... loving the pop of colour in the black.
Bought a mini bolide 1932 black chevre with gold hardware as a treat to myself@hermes_forever_^
Black chèvre and gold hardware is my dream combo!!
I hope I can get one like yours! Congrats!!
