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.

This is perfection on you! Very classy!

View attachment 4622485 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).

Can the Bearn Compact Wallet and IPhone fit in Tiny Mini Bolide?

Not sure about fitting a Bearn compact wallet as I don’t own one but I can fit a surprisingly good amount in my mini bolide.
I can fit my iPhone XR, Chanel card holder, AirPods, key case, pack of tissues, two lip balms, my work card key, tiny pack of wipes. If I take out the tissues I can also fit sunglasses on top without a case. I’ll try to take a photo of all the things tonight. But basically it fits all I need.

here is a photo of what fits plus my iPhone XR
I do need to align so that they items are stacked but I still have good access to everything. The lip balms just float on the base. I usual have a less bulky tissue pack :biggrin:

I recently tried on a tiny (micro) bolide, even smaller than the 27 in rose ete (or rose azalee?). It was cute but it looked like it would be for a child. I didn't even know the tiny size existed. I was tempted but I knew it just wasn't practical enough for me. I also tried on a bolide in 27 and it was cute but I need to think about it since I recently made some big H purchases.

Thank you very much for the picture. It seem quite a very good small bag. Do you find it easy to carry on your shoulder.

youre welcome!
I’m quite short, 5’2” and can wear it crossbody comfortably. I haven’t worn it on the shoulder really. I don’t wear any bags on just my shoulder anymore really lol. I have small kids so I’m always rushing with hands full. Lol.

Great. Thank you :) When you wear across body does the handles of the bag bother you? Rubbing on your body?

Not at all as the handles are very short. I’ve tried on the coco handle and pass on that bag because of the handles are too high and pokes on the side when worn crossbody. But with the mini bolide no issues at all. The handles do get in the way when zipping the bag but I don’t think it’s too bad.
