My Surface computer (A4-size) fits in my Bolide 35, and it zips closed. It takes a little finessing but is defined possible. And I like the fact that it closes when I use it for work.
Other than Bolide 35 I would recommend a Plume 32 for a work bag

Thanks
Thank you, I so appreciate your help with my decision. I love the bolide for being a structured zipper bag and mostly the little oval patch to monogram it. But, I always use small MacBooks so need it to zipper.
Thank you, thank you for this! I just checked, and the Surface A4 looks 8.3" x 11.7", and my MacBook Pro is 8.5" x 12". The way the bolide curves at the top, I thought I'd have to turn it a bit to get it in and have it on an angle, and that works for me. Thanks for the Plume recommendation, too.My Surface computer (A4-size) fits in my Bolide 35, and it zips closed. It takes a little finessing but is defined possible.

I love this playful take on what some people may say a stuffy-looking bag! My only concern is the asymmetrical handles which could mean that the weight of the bag may not be evenly distributed and may ruin the bag in the long run. [Despite this, I am tempted to add this to my Bolide collection!]
The back pocket is cool but what were they thinking about the oval patch!
Oh no. I imagine this is meant to be playful but to me it just looks like someone was a bit tipsy while making it!

Thank you x and it is so great to wear to work!Your plume is beautiful
Can anyone with a 27 and 25 comment on which they prefer? I've only seen one video comparing them and they look so similar in size. Does a 25 hold more/less than a 27? Is it more comfortable overall or have new features? From the video and pictures it looks like the zipper opens wider and the handles are thicker?

p.s. I had a moment of panic when looking at the picture closely thinking that I already stained it already at the bottom right corner of the picture, turned out it was a dirty mirror!

I'm pondering Christmas and Bolides, having (temporarily) shelved my thought of getting Birkin 40 as a work bag. There's a wonderfully slouchy Bolide 45 on Vestiare at the moment (https://www.vestiairecollective.com...-leather-bolide-hermes-handbag-28792706.shtml), and I'm thinking: hmmmm. Could I take this to work? (My usual haul: a macbook pro and charger, phone and charger, several books and files, a medium-size makeup bag, and--in the winter--a wrap of some sort. Plus wallet, checkbook, changepurse, water bottle.). The question: Would a Bolide 45 be too big? FWIW: I generally carry all that stuff around in a Neverfull GM in DE. I've tried making it work in a Birkin 35, but it doesn't all quite fit (and the Birkin is a bit too much for my workplace). But the Neverfull is not H. In any case: I'm wondering if any Bolide 45 lovers carry theirs to work. (Photos would be really welcome--)
I just got my first. It’s a Bolide 35.
