Oh dear, and here I was thinking I could just walk into a store and get one! I’d like to get the 31 as well. I’m hoping to use it for work and carry my 13 MacBook and then use it for baby stuff carrying off-duty. I’ll let you know how I go finding one!

The Bolide 31 was my first H bag and I can honestly say I love it/wear it more than my Birkin. But that was during Covid and at that time there were plenty available both in store and online. I wish you the best of luck in finding one. Sending you positive vibes
Yes I remember that too! I was actually able to do the research for buying my Bolide 1923 30 on the H site (the particular one I wanted was located by my lovely SA). Same with Jypsieres.
Manifesting that for the Bolide's 100th anniversary, a 1923 25 will be available in classic barenia and that I get one.

❤️❤️ I hope I can find one! I think this bag is quite popular in Japan (Le Crin) and I found a reseller that has a good range of pretty colors and selling them brand new.

Yes it’s quite popular in Japan. I see a lot of Japanese instagram H fans who use more Bolides than B or K. Also, when I went to Osaka some years ago, I saw a lot of Bolides and some Dalvys.
I’m sorry that I deleted several Bolide colors over the past few years. Here’s what I’ve kept on my iPad to keep ‘my eyes on the prize’.
I thought I’d share. All are from the Hermès website. Enjoy!

Thank you so much for sharing these! It's great eye candy. (It also made me weirdly sad remembering how much there was on offer on H.com before the pandemic....)
I definitely do not need another blue bag (I have one and it gets out very rarely) but Mykonos really turned my head for a while. Still does.
(I think the last one is not RC but RH or Rubis? - RC is my avatar, it's brighter)
Be still my beating heart! Thanks so much for this wonderful eye candy @Sourisbrune; I can't for the life of me figure out why more people don't covet the bolide.. Perhaps because it doesn't scream "H"? I think it's a wonderful bag, and would be happy with many of these colors in a 35. (I think the last might be Rouge Garrance
)Thank you. Good eyes!
Yes, I was thinking Rubis, too, but couldn’t think of the color name. I thought Casque at first, but I then wondered if Casque is too bright. Edited the color thanks to you and textilegirl!
Yes, I long for the return of more bags on H.com. I have two SAs in two states. Both are wonderful and honest with me about product. They’ve both said the bags are scarce. Covid didn’t help with supplies, but we’re also looking at Chanel prices skyrocketing. Chanel is different, yet newbie transfers are dipping their toes in Hermès. GPs and Evelynes were the first to be sought after. Then came Lindys and Bolides. The Bolide, with its variety of sizes, has become the new non-quota ‘It’ bag. Its frustrating. Hopefully 2023 will be the (production) year of the Bolide!
Yeah the conversion to H from rising Chanel was perhaps inevitable for those buyers. It's also maybe unavoidable that whatever 100 year stuff H does will also tempt newbies. (Sounds like a horoscope, Chanel rising, Hermes converting.)Thank you. Good eyes!

At least for now it seems that plenty of good+ condition 35s are still out there at reasonable resale prices (and I have done my part, LOL - in the last several months I have streamlined to just 1 35 Bolide). I would love to get a 1923 25 though!
