Not to my knowledge ( and a totally under-rated under the radar choice!)
Thanks my dear
Yes I totally agree..... I have the Peau Porc I found on The ReaReal, but I want a soft one now
PP Bolide is one of my HGs! I've seen yours posted and its gorgeous!! I'm constantly on the lookout for one.( although one in box I would NOT turn down!!)Thanks my dear
I agree, however, the smoosh factor is key, and my well used noir is certainly there!
I went yesterday to my local H store to ask about Bolides and my SA told me the 35 is no longer produced 
I guess I'll have to search the preowned market!
I hate this small bag trend! (no offence to the small bag lovers).

+1 on tiny bags. Barbie bags.

A small bag is OK if you're popping in and out of a car all day. Friends leave cardigans or spare bits in the trunk/boot or glove compartment, but it you leave home in the morning, take the train, returning at night, that 27-31 is not always going to work. I've carried a 35 and a 29 Evie (in more normal times) if I'm working.
I have a 32 and it’s been great - not too small at all! It’s amazing what you can fit in that bag ( actually, it’s sort of scary!) all the regular stuff, sweater, scarf etc. I’ve found it’s a great bag fir travel as well because if that.I went yesterday to my local H store to ask about Bolides and my SA told me the 35 is no longer produced

So don’t despair- but if you really want that 35, there will be fine choices in the pre- loved market, just wait for your color leather etc( and the prices are good as well, much as I don’t get it, the Bolide doesn’t seem to hold its value to the extent that K and B do.
Good luck and keep us posted

it’s not being able to choose that’s such a shame. The 35 is a perfect work bag.I have a 32 and it’s been great - not too small at all!

I agree. I'm really glad I found a great condition one last year, although I am still hoping for a smooshy one. Will have to continue monitoring resale.
Boo on that. I hate the small bag trend, too.I went yesterday to my local H store to ask about Bolides and my SA told me the 35 is no longer produced

I just received a beautiful Bolide 27 Ebene from Hermes.com. Is it just me, or is it way more difficult to open and close that bag? I also own a Bolide 45 and a Mini. The 27 was supposed to bridge the gap and it is stunningly beautiful, but I am concerned that I might not use it because I might not get used to opening and closing the bag.
IMO the 27 in epsom is pretty difficult to zip. Mine is in swift, and I find it much easier! If you do t think you’ll use, I’d send it back. Maybe wait for one in swift! I love the 27 size, fits everything I everyday carry! My next will be a 31, though not in clemence. Lovely leather, but too heavy!
Thank you for the quick reply. It is a beauty, especially in Epsom Ebene a real classic. The opening & closing part might become a deal breaker though. I will sit does with my jewelers gloves on and try a few more times...
