. Call me crazy, but I honestly prefer seeing the older H bags over the new.

They are getting things a bit minced-up, but that is certainly a fabulous, historical example.
How absolutely beautiful !
Love the proportions of that! Looks higher than contemporary models related to base (sort of like HAC vs Birkin).From the Palazzo Madama, Torino's website:

Interesting embroidered version, perhaps for the anniversary of the Bolide.
cute yes but this is just a special edition that came out a few years ago. Bolide's 100th anniversary is next year.
So they were celebrating the anniversary early....
Hello! I’m thinking about getting a Bolide for my first H, how hard it is to get one from a H store? I probably will be going to one of the New York City stores (wall st, meat packing or Madison) to get one if they have them.
TIA!!
TIA!!
It’s a great bag! I hope you find one. Which size?
I believe the Bolide 31 is difficult to find in-store right now. Hermès states on their website that ‘The Bolide line is back on the circuit.’ The company is anticipating a surge of interest given 2023 is the bag’s 100th anniversary. My SA said Bolides and Jypsieres are almost non-existent in the US right now — she has my Bolide 31 color choices on a wishlist. Some stores in the US haven’t seen certain size Bolides in months. I remember when they had a dozen colors of the Bolide 31 online. I’m guessing the smaller and more popular sizes might have some availability in-store.
I wish you the best!
