Love, love, love it❣️❣️❣️❣️ Congratulations!Here's my new to me Bolide 35 in Peau Porc from 1993 in pristine condition: I've wanted something in this leather forever
My store hardly gets ANY Bolide 27. At least where I am, I was told it doesn't sell well (which I don't get as obviously, the ones coming in get purchased immediately). Last year, they only received very few but one of them was in Etain (November) which I got. I guess as with everything, one can never predict what comes in and at which time. But it shouldn't be impossible. Just be prepared for some wait, but guess we're all used to this.
I am recently looking into purchasing a Bolide 31. I looked at a red one with GHW in a Hermes store. it's so pretty and I like the bag a lot. I don't know what else I could do, but now I am determine to get one. I started to look at the pre-loved market, and some bags dated back to 1995 or 2005 in Clemence or Togo leather. Do you think the bag and the leather hold its shape and quality since many had passed? Shall I find a Bolide that was made within the last 5-10 years?
Also, I would like your thoughts on which colour is better: Blue Agate or Blue electric? I usually wear black, grey, blue and beige colour. I need to be more advantageous.

I have a Lindy in Bleu Agate. Very pretty color. Goes with any color outfit.
Thanks CMilly. The Blue Agate is a bit more subtle. There are so many shades of blue from Hermes, it's difficult to choose.
Thanks Monique1004 for the reply and picture. Your Lindy is lovely and look great with grey sweater, which I have a few. How long have you been using the bag? Which leather is it made of? Have you notice any colour transfer onto the bag, and any quality problems? Thanks!
Yup, the blue electric is like a pop art colour. Would you think it might be too flashy?
I think in reality is that bleu electrique would be “harder” to match when compared to a softer color like bleu agate. I have to say that bleu electrique makes my heart sings when bleu agate does not. I feel like it is such a personal choice and you gotta go with the color that makes your heart sings!! Good luck
there’s no wrong choice when it comes to Hermes blues.
Maybe 2 years? It’s clemence so it has gotten a little softer but besides that looks new. Usually carry it wearing my cheap H&M jeggings mostly dark colors & never had any color transfer problem. I like hot pinks but like soft blues.
