I went in to the H store today for the first time and created a profile with a lovely SA. After I had bought a few items he asked if there was something else that I wanted and I told him I’d really love a Bolide in a grey / neutral color. They don’t have it but due to get one soon in etoupe (he said it’s marked for this store location) and put my name down for it, I’m the first one to ask for it so when it comes in I’d likely get it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
That’s great! Etoupe is the most versatile non-black color IMO.
Yay! So happy for you
I too wanted grey and not black, but mine is Gris Etain.
I’m so excited to join the club. Just received my first bolide 31 in black box ghw.
It looks to be in good condition, but would love thoughts on if I should send to H spa?

OMG that is stunning in black box
! Congratulations!!
May I ask where you found this beauty? I also really like those dust bags lol.Thank you so much, it's been on my wish list forever, but black box bolides do not pop up often unfortunately. (there is actually a couple of 27s with studs right now but over my budget) I found this on ebay via a Japanese reseller store based in Tokyo. The dust bags were a pleasant surprise as I've only seen the cotton ones.OMG that is stunning in black box
That’s stunning! I’m so happy for you! Question for you and those who own 31s - it doesn’t fit a MacBook 13 inch does it? I compare the measurements and it doesn’t seem like it would fit… which is a shame but not a deal breaker for me.
I just tried it for you lol and it does just can’t zip it up
I can live with that!!! Thank you so much!!!
wow. I don't think I have seen a black box bolide before. I've seen one in red, but not in black.
so special, this one. you did well in finding it
@cj0617 - Congratulations! I'm so happy for you! What a beautiful find.
@PrayersandPurses - Your Bolide is just beautiful. I love the color!

Oh my, just one?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.)
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!
I don’t think I could manage it 
I think she is knitting! My knitting is why I favor large H bags!From the Palazzo Madama, Torino's website:
Translated from Italian to English: "An excellent guest is the Bolide, the first female bag to use a zipper, which belonged to Julie Hermès and made for her by her husband Emile in 1923."
