Dear fellow Ladies,
I‘m about to purchase this lovely Deep Blue Bolide 31, Clemence, my first Bolide.
How are your experiences with the „slouchiness“...how does it wear?
I‘m not really sure whether I like it or not. Surely it is typical for the soft Clemence leather. Shall I better take Epsom or Evercolour?
Would love to hear your opinions, please.
Thank you in advance!

I just got my bolide in clemence leather so I can't comment on the slouchiness yet but I love how the bag looks and the leather is so soft. I don't like it when bags get too slouchy though so I do have a bag pouch for it and will like buy an insert when I use it. did you ending up getting it??

Your Bolide is lovely! A gold/ghw 31 arrived at my home store yesterday so I’m coordinating a time to view it. I’ll probably join this club soon.

You'll love it! It's so much nicer irl than in pictures. Could you check does it come with stuffing that has it's own dustbag? :lol: my "plastic airstuffing" is in some sort of white cotton dustbag

I will :biggrin:. I think I’m more comfortable with carrying a Bolide than my other H bags in these times. I love yours and debated on phw vs. ghw. In the end I decided ghw.

I have a Bolide 31 in Gold/GHW and a K32 Retourne in Gold/GHW - I definitely echo your feeling of finding the Bolide more comfortable to carry at this crazy time! Join me :D :D :D

Thanks! :lol: It was so funny that they wanted to protect inside of the bag from that stuffing.. not sure is it standard now? None of my other bags had it.
I’m sure you’ll love either one you choose! I always go to phw if I have a chance.

My bolide is always my “go to” bag. It’s great, classy and just easy to wear. But I DO use my others now and honestly am comfortable with that. But yes- allow me to enable .....you will love it and get a huge amount of wear forever from it.
