Here to share my new in Bolide 1923 size 25 in rose ete! Was initially worried if the size is similar to my bolide 31. But am glad to say its not! I have attached comparison pics of my bolide 31 vs the 25. Hope they help for anyone looking for pics. Thank you!

This is my next dream bag. I like the shorter handle of the 1923 25 size and it is bigger than the mini Bolide. Is this super hard to get?

The Bolide strap is a huge plus for me. I keep my Bolide unzipped hand carried, so it acts as a tote, just like a Birkin. It also has the security feature of the zipper when needed, unlike the Birkin.
The Bolide is under-the-radar, an unpopular concept to some. I see Birkins daily in my city—they’re easy to spot.
I love the look of the Birkin and wanted one until I realized I‘d been sucked in by the hype and its exclusivity. I’m a Bolide gal now.
I hope my opinion helps.

I agree. My daughter keeps asking me why I love the Bolide so much..it’s so understated. I just love the shape and carry it exactly the same way. I love my Birkin too

hi there,
new to my fascination with the Bolide and wondered if the Relax 45 in Sikkim is something that stores regularly get? hard to tell!

TIA

Just realized that I first posted in this thread in 2016 and after 6 years so happy to join you guys! Finally!

Bolide 31 is definitely a more proper bag in terms of proportion but my stuff is swimming inside. Will not be using it much but still a keeper since it’s such a classic imo. This size is my OG holy grail.

Bolide 27 is perfect for my current needs and I plan to enjoy it as much as possible. I want to get an extra strap so that I can wear it crossbody.

Do you guys prefer the 25mm or 50mm (105 length)? I feel like the 25 looks more balanced compared to the size of the bag but the 50 will be more comfortable. I would love to hear your thoughts and recommendations. Thanks!
