That is the first I have heard of the Bolide 25. Has this been out long? :smile:

No - it’s a new season (I think 2021SS) item! My SA told me about it today so I did some Googling and found this listing. Looks like it just started appearing. :smile:

My SA told me about Bolide coming out in size 25 too when I got my Halzan 25 in Feb. Haven't seen it yet in person but I feel like this will be the size for me :smile:

I think I remember an SA telling me about the 1923/25 when I tried on the 1923/30 in store last week. I was slightly distracted by the beauty of the bag I was trying on, but I think I remember her mentioning something about a 1923 that’s small, perhaps too small for my needs, yet a Bo27 would be perfect. Looking at recent inventory- we’ll probably get the 25 in the US by 2023.:facepalm:

Hi! Bolide questions-
I saw wear-and-tear corners on a five-year-old Epsom Bo27. It wasn’t bad, but it looked like it had been scraped. Is that normal? Does the Bo31 get worn corners, too? Thank you!

Only if not carried carefully. As mentioned previously, it never happened to me, both for B27 or B31. The corners are not that pointed and don’t stick out. However, as with every leather bag, depending on where and how you use it the corners may show wear. I wouldn’t say the Bolide is especially susceptible to corner wear, though.
