Finally joining the club with my two recent purchases. Always a fan of the bolide. And my SA offered bolide 27 in Etoupe and 1923 bolide 25 in gold.

I want to point out something in each pictures with the comparisons. I saw some improvement with the bolide 25. I hope this would help someone decide if you are choosing between the two.

so happy I got these two bags. 27 and 25cm is very minimal. Size 25 come with a lock and the 27.

1.The straps are taller and wider on the size 27, therefore easier to put the bag on your elbow.
2.The opening of the zipper is wider on the size 25.

1.The zipper cloth is wider on the size 25, creating a more convenient way to use the zip. Somehow it makes it easier to zip open and close.
2. Zipper metal color match other hardware with size 25. The size 27 zipper have a logger gold

Thanks for letting me share!

What is the length across the top of the Bolide 35? I saw a post earlier in the thread that said an A4 document would not fit without some bending on the edges—would a letter-sized sheet (8.5x11”) fit?

(and apologies if this has been answered elsewhere—I’m sure is has but I’ve been searching and can’t find it)

I carry my A4-size Surface laptop in my Bolide 35, and by angling it (and perhaps stretching a little:love:), I can zipper it. It fits, but I agree that papers would probably wrinkle :no:

8.5x11 fits no problem. If you have a file folder or other exterior holder, it might have to be bent/angled, depending on its size. But the paper by itself has clearance for the bag to zip even when sorta full otherwise. HTH.

Was wondering how difficult it is to get a bolide 27. I really want an epsom 27 in either gold, etoupe or etain. I would like to carry as an everyday. But just wondering how long the wait can be for one of these?
Thanks in advance!!

You can add a longer strap for cross body if you like, but I don’t think the 27 handle would look good, maybe the 25 because the handle is shorter on the 25. You should definitely go take a look.

I think it really depends on shipments, I don’t think there are a large amount of people asking for it. Where I am the store manager doesn’t order a lot of it. However I asked one day and they had it! The 25 I put on my wish list and was called when the bag arrived after a few months.

If I were you, just go and ask! Good luck!
