Ode to the bolide

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?
Might be a bit difficult. My local boutique in SoCal gets roughly 1 Bolide every couple of months, apparently.

I was hoping 2023 would be Bolide galore for its 100th anniversary but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I hope someone can help you with the exact price in USD. If not, I would estimate about USD $9.5 - 10k for the Epsom Bolide 31. Hope this helps!

Currently, the Bolide 31 only comes in Clemence. (Bolide 31 Rigide can be found on the resale/preloved market.)

If you're keen on an Epsom for similar size, you'd have to opt for the Bolide 1923 30 which comes in Epsom.

Sorry for the blurry and zoomed in picture, but just thought I would share a glimpse to a potentially new edition of the mini bolide? I wonder if the side panels are leather or another material, but I really like the soft palette.
May I ask where's this pic taken? :thinking:
 
I just had the disconcerting but wonderful experience of showing my FSH SA a pic of the rainbow bolide (pic from @allanrvj) and her coming up with bag boxes a few minutes later. I have to say that pics do not do this bag justice
Only when shopping with Hermes that, when the SA comes with the goods, we are shocked :giggle: So used we are with 'sorry, not available'
So happy to see you get the dream bag!
