Ode to the bolide

mine is size 35, color 5L ultraviolet PHW in clememce leather.
it is so soft and light weighted that i can't feel anything uncomfortable while carrying it on my shoulder. a nice work bag, date bag, and also travel bag. one of my most used bags. by the way, my bags are all from Hermes :smile:
That is one beautiful bag! IMO the 35 has perfect proportions. For size 30/31 I prefer the 1923 version.

A squishy Bolide 35 is next on my list I think.
 
Hello, everyone! I would like to get your opinions here.

I bought a Bolide 31, Clemence, Etoupe finally! I’m so happy with this bag; however, I’m wondering about the stitches on the clochette. Partially single stitch and partially double stitches... It does not look great to me considered how much I paid for this bag. Is it common? Or should I talked to my SA about it?

I’d appreciate your opinions!

Thank you in advance!

that's normal to me. it happens all the time. hand-made stitching is not perfect. sometimes ugly. but if you return it and get a new one, probably the same stitching...

Thank you so much for your comment! I saw some perfect ones and some similar ones in the pics on the internet. At the same time, I don’t want to trouble my SA. You are right. If I get a new one, I will probably get the same condition!

Thanks again!

It is how they sort of back stitch so stitches will not come out. I actually like the way it looks because it was hand made and should last indefinitely. And congratulations on your beautiful bag.

Thank you for comment! I’m still learning about Hermès bags and that’s great to know!

Also thank for congratulating on my Bolide! I’m so happy that I finally bought her!
