Bolides featured at the AW 2023 Women's RTW show in Paris (pics from Vogue). The Bolide 1923 25 is one of my favorite Hermes bags.

Does anyone know if Hermes is planning something special for the Bolide's 100th anniversary?

Also, are there any boutiques known to have really good inventory of the Bolide 1923 25? I might need to travel in order to get one, they're the least popular bag at my store, unfortunately (meaning we don't get any stock).

I got my Bolide 1923 (25 and 30) in Hawaii stores. I think it's a really popular bag in Asian countries so you may want to try your luck there!

Thrilled to add this Bolide 1923 25 etoupe / epsom to my collection! I had gotten the Bolide 1923 30 but thought it was too big so gave it to my older sister, who's much more into large bags. The 25 is significantly smaller, but not so small that you can't fit anything. It's perfect for me!

Twins!! One of my workhorse bags, it’s the go-to choice for me whenever I want to be absolutely under the radar (no BKC/recognizable H). Just such a classic and functional design and Etoupe goes with everything. Enjoy yours!

I've been hunting for a LONG time! I love her so much already and can't wait to wear her - she's so under the radar and appropriate to dress up or down.

Beautiful!! Btw, sorry to bother you again, but any chance an iPad can fit into the 25?

No bother at all — I don’t think it would fit an iPad!

Darn! Well, thanks anyways!

A few years ago, a Hermès’ director told me the Lindy was the most popular bag in Asia, and the Bolide was the most popular bag in France. I don’t know if that’s changed post-Covid.

The Bolide (specifically the 31) is quite popular in Japan too but not sure about other Asian countries.

The Lindy is popular more in China and the bolide is very popular in Japan. I the Bolide so much.

Interesting the differences in bag preferences between countries. I’m not surprised that the Bolide is consistently popular with French customers.

My new mini bolide that looks like a Bolide 30 on my dog. Fits on the crook of his arm too

My brain can't process this picture! Ah the cuteness!
But seriously, is the bag that small (haven't seen one in person), or is your cutiepie that big?

Will be in Tokyo next month and would love to get a preowned bolide! Leaning on classic 31 but unsure and hoping to be able to try many sizes and colors.

I live in southern California. I hope to get a bolide 31 (rigide) later this year. Does anyone know if these are in the boutiques in SoCal? Any info on prices?
