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:)

Beautiful, @textilegirl, looks perfect on you! Clemence is so :love:, I just love its smooshy plushness! I'm clog cousins with you (I have both brown and black Calyas) Don't you love your Carlottas? I had been looking for my ideal clogs for years, and of course Hermes made the most beautiful ones to choose from. :smile:

:wave: @etoile de mer, thank you so much for your kind comments! I'm definitely on team smooshy, unless of course we're talking about heritage leathers :love:.... So nice to be clog cousins, aren't they great?!?

:wave: Waving back! I agree, I love Barenia, too! So, I guess we are both on team smooshy and team oily! :biggrin: Yes, I love my clogs, and of course so exquisitely made. :smile:

Happy to share my new bolide 25 epsom GHW, pictures here next to bolide 27 in gris asphalt swift. Both are very similar in size . The bolide 25 strap is slightly thicker and 4 cm shorter compared to bolide 27. My MaiTai bag insert for bolide 27 fits the bolide 25 as well.

Hi there, thanks for posting this. Been after another Maitai insert but she doesn't do one for the 25. Good to know the 27 fits the 25.

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

Another picture to show you the zipper.

Thanks for letting me share!

These photos are super helpful !! I think that I'm sold on the 25 but it is so hard to get a neutral color. Congrats on getting both.
