First of all congrats, it's gorgeous!!
The leather depends in what year it was made: do you know the date stamp?

Hi, congratulations on your new bolide, it's gorgeous!
The leather of my bolide is Clemence. Your bag seems to be more structure than mine, do you know the production year / stamp? It can be Ardennnes leather. Bolide is a beautiful and practical and subtle H bag, enjoy her the most!
Still look new after so many years
Love my bolide

They are both excellent choice and such great finds! if their price is similar, I would go with natural if it is your everyday workhorse. As red is a bit dressy for me for everyday use.can i ask. im stuck between a preloved CHamonix natural vs a bright red (i duno the exact name) box calf bolide 31. Both vintage bothGHW

THanks! i agree too. The red box is cheaper by about $1K usd. quite a fair bit. but yeah both a great conditions. my only concern is i dont see many chamonix is it that they cannot stand the usage of time like Box calf. Box can be like 50 years, 60 years old. I tried to search the site, and asking around if anyone has successfully Spa-ed chamonix.
I even email to hermes, so lets see if they do get back. i love the natural as i dont have this colour,only concern is can it last as the box and be as beautiful as it aged
Does the chamonix come with its strap, and if not, do you care? I think the chamonix is probably more useful in that it goes with more things, but personally I would go for the red, its so stunning!!can i ask. im stuck between a preloved CHamonix natural vs a bright red (i duno the exact name) box calf bolide 31.

both comes with full set. lol i know right so i cannot choose at all lol
Yikes this would be so hard for me, they are both gorgeous! I have a bolide in bleu nuit, in the 35cm size, that is my workhorse, but one day I want to find a red one in a special leather.
Good luck and please let us know which one you choose!
Both great bags, but I think the red might be Brique which can lean orange in tone. Dunno if that works with your wardrobe….can i ask. im stuck between a preloved CHamonix natural vs a bright red (i duno the exact name) box calf bolide 31. Both vintage bothGHW
