Ode to the bolide

[papertiger]

Here's my new to me Bolide 35 in Peau Porc from 1993 in pristine condition: I've wanted something in this leather forever

You got it, yay

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.

Hi Monique1004,
Good to hear that the leather is care free. Do you wear the Blue Agage Lindy with black clothes as well? Would you think Blue Agate is a year-round colour to wear? I have a fair share of black bag (guilty...). I do have a bag in fuchsia/hot pink colour, which I really love to take out in spring/summer. I guess I am having a heard time imaging carrying blue bag, as I hadn't had before.

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.

Hi HKsai,
I totally see your point. It's a good advise. I need to do some soul-searching. Have a good Easter!

Beautiful Birdie ! how did you find her ? Ostrich Bs are hard to find in the resale market.

I was lucky enough to find a super good deal on Fashionphile. It’s in pristine condition other than darkened handles which I’m trying to find solution for.

Here is an alternate option for darkened handles. It’s not for everyone; at first I thought I wouldn’t like them. But now I have a few from this Etsy shop and they are top quality. The owner, Donna, is an Hermès client. Her shop is closed for vacation today but will reopen in two days. She also has a website at:

Hi Everyone! Sharing my new to me Bolide 31 in Blue Sapphire. Loving this colour because it's a true blue with no undertones. I'm still getting use to the zip opening between the stiff handles Hopefully it'll get easier with use.
