I absolutely love the Bolide and am willing to wait for the right one to appear, but having trouble figuring out if the Mini, 25 or 27 would be a better size.
I don't carry too much daily, would love a versatile size that I could carry to dinners, and already have an Evelyne PM and Herbag 31 for when I need to carry more.
Thank you!

If you don't have much, the 25 should be a good one from day to evening.
I love the Mou style of the b31 and have one in Gold.
Congrats !! You can easily get a canvas strap and add color to it. It is one of the most practical bags.
Hello and so sorry for very late reply.
For now all i can say it fits everyday essential, and last month i used it to be in the plane. So it fits small hand sanitizer, passport, calvi, bastia, pen, few document papers being fold. And its small yet its so good to use for everyday bag. I hope it helps
Thank you so much. I got it anyway. I agree ..it fits all my essentials and is sooo understated
I just got the Bolide 25 (I think this is the smallest size in the 1923 style, the SA told me this is the mini size) and it's a really great size! It easily fits phone, small wallet/cardholder, and an SLG like LV mini pochette, but I also have a small folded reusable bag, pack of tissues, and could maybe fit in a small folded scarf. I think you also could get a pair of sunglasses in a soft case, for example, if they weren't huge. It fits more than the K25 because of the way it opens all the way, and because of its shape. I got it in noir Epsom and love that the leather feels more carefree and that it feels structured but not stiff. Absolutely perfect for dinner out but holds everything I need during the day too.
The strap is not adjustable, and is meant for shoulder carry (I'm 5 ft 2 in, and crossbody is doable but not ideal), but I just realized that one could get a longer strap as well since they clip on at the handles.
The style is classic enough for more formal occasions, but totally fine for daytime use too. This is really close to a perfect bag! (okay, no exterior pocket but that doesn't work with the style, and one can't have everything

Your bolide25 in 5p is so stunning! Love the contrast stitching so muchSharing my first Bolide25 in 5p pinkView attachment 5172060
Hello, very excited to share my very first H! It’s a bolide 25 in gold evercolor with ghw. She’s a beauty.
never would have expected this to be my first H just love this color combo and timeless shape.
i am 169cm and the shoulder strap is perfect for shoulder bag, when worn crossbody it hit my ribcage and totally looks hideous, going to order longer strap.

This is such a rare combo!! The 25cm is so hard to find at the store.
Congrats !! I love this size better than the mini Bolide or the Bolide 27. The shorter handles make it look cuter.
thank you! It definitely is smaller than what I expected, but when I opened it, it is definitely very spacious enough to carry my daily essentials.
hope to add more H bags to my collection.
