Ode to the bolide

Just an update. I enjoyed travelling with my Bolide. It got looks from admirers in France. Some even came up and complimented me. I bought the Swift bleu marine strap with that cute barenia tag in the Sevres store so it could be used crossbody.

I also LOVE the bolide for travel. I'm so jealous of you-I've got that same strap ( and do love it), but I must be shorter than you, as it STILL falls a bit too long crossbody. I use it, but I always think "It should be an inch shorter- or me taller!) :lol:
Yours looks awesome.

If using as workhorse i would not choose the red one as the scratches and nicks will show much more. They’re both lovely.
 
Hello, Bolide Lovers!

Would anyone be able to help describe this Bolide 1923 30 - but it seems that thede is an outside pocket which I have never seen before.

It is pre-loved, but I have never seen this style before, so I’m not quite sure.

if im not wrong this shd be the original vintage 1923 that doesnt even come with a strap. i almost got this, but because it doesnt comes with a strap i got the bolide 31 instead.
 
This has been in my closet for quite some time; I'm more of a Rouge H girl and feared this was just too much intense RED for me to pull off on a regular basis. The smoosh is what kept it in the mix, I love a good smooshy clemence bag! And this recent heat wave has addled my brain enough to allow me to embrace that bright, bright red. (There's lots of things to ignore in this pic so just ignore them :lol:)
