Ode to the bolide

I recently bought a Bolide in Epsom Vert Fizz GHW. I noticed the hardware of the shoulder strap leaves black marks on the epsom where there's contact. I do remove the shoulder strap when the purse is not in use. At the moment I'm just putting a drop of water on my fingers and rubbing it off. I'm pretty sure I shouldn't be doing this. Does anyone else have this issue and what are you doing to prevent it? Any advice would be appreciated!

To those who own mini bolides, please post photos here showing how you are styling your bags or dressing them up :love: love this bag so much but don’t see a lot of photos here on TPF!
I’m too shy to post pics of myself :angel: but I have one in Gold and I really enjoy it as a travel bag. I wear it as a crossbody during the day. At night I detach the strap and it’s cute enough for dinner. It’s plain and not very recognizable so I feel safe wearing it in unfamiliar places.

I get a lot of compliments on it. More often than when I wear my B or K.
 
Hi everyone here, I'm looking for some advice re: the Bolide 1923.
First, I'm debating whether I should look at the 30cm vs. the 25cm---and in which leather.
I own a number of Hermes bags but none in epsom---and it seems that most of these come in epsom. Do you have any recommendations for the 30cm vs. the 25cm in epsom with regard to scratches/scuffs?
Second, I've always preferred a different leather and I guess the 25cm comes in evercolor also---does anyone here have their experience to share with this leather in this bag?
Thanks so much in advance!

I have an evercolor Bolide 25. I love love love that leather. So much so I'm looking for other bags that come in that leather. Its softer than epsom so that corner caves in ever so slightly. On a small size it probably isn't a big deal but if you get a 30 you might notice it more. Having said that the leather is so soft and luscious I don't mind it. It has smaller grain than Togo and it doesn't feel as dry. Togo feels really dry to me.

The size is perfect for me. I don't carry a whole lot though. The handle drop is not large, smaller than a kelly 25. Probably similar to a Birkin 25 ( I don't know for sure as I don't have one to compare but based on measurements I've seen it looks similar)

Its lightweight. Really lowkey and has a strap if you're spending a longer time out and don't want to hand carry all day long. But my fav way is to hand carry this bag. I would want to add a few more colors.

Regarding wear and tear, my son just squished it with his grubby hands and smashed it in. It went back to normal after I pushed it back out. Didnt leave any marks but I have a darker color (moka).
