I was in London this week and tried my luck at the New Bond Street store and they had this! were bag twins now. I soon as I saw the color I knew it was perfect for me. It my first leather H bag. I think black is a safe way to go for my first. Love the texture and sheen. Can’t wait to start using it.
yay!!! Congratulations! She looks perfect on you!

Such a cute bag! I never considered the bolide until I saw this mini size :). Do you mind sharing the price in London please?

this is in the Mysore chèvre and was 3680gbp. Unfortunately the pound has spiked a bit with the re-election so makes it quite expensive vs my home store and Euro prices but worth it to get a color I want and not wait! So pricing was not in my favor and I’m not able to claim vat. :(
 
thanks! xx
Do you plan to use yours as a daily bag? I like how this bag can be casual and dressy. Think the leather helps. So glad I got the Mysore leather.
So I normally use my B35 for daily drivers because I carry my heels etc to work, but the days it’s cold and in wear flats I’ve been taking my mini bolide and adore her. It’s such a perfect little bag.

IMG_0326.jpeg Third time is a charm. After two failed pre-loved H purchases (one too small and ultimately re-consigned, one returned), I have finally found a keeper. And in the leather that I discovered I loved during my short time with the too-small fail.

Miss Bolide 35 in Fjord, Rouge Vif (although not certain about color, have posted in ID thread for confirmation). Loving her quiet elegance! Posing here with Rouge Casaque Kelly (in case anyone has color opinions).
 
Pics attached. I actually asked for a mini Bolide but when the SA brought this out he said this would be more practical, and he’s right.

I recently got the IPhone 11 Max which annoyingly doesn’t fit in the Mini Kelly and he said the mini Bolide would be the same.

absolutely gorgeous! Classy and understated. And I agree, this size ( or larger) are infinitely more practical- EVERYTHING fits!

So cute, and I agree more practical

Yes, a red Bolide is awesome!

But, a holiday dining out conundrum: bring one of my (large) red bags or my recently designated “go to” dress-up bag (black and not particularly holiday-ish)?

Then I remembered the twilly I bought a while back with winter holidays in mind. (DH agrees it’s rather festive.)
