I love that this bag is still loved so much after quite some years… :heart:

Mine is one of my most used and best loved bags of all time.

I didn't inherit it, I always, always wanted one, and was looking and looking and actually gave up finding one of the same exact specs. Then it appeared thanks to a tPF fairy queen, magic!

We three are truly blessed! :party:

I also very much wanted to have this specs and searched quite some time for this bag … and gave it a lot of love once it appeared in the resale market with its feathers ruffed, so to speak.

It is just fantastic to carry! The one thing I am not sure about is rain - does it really dry of without marks?

For me yes, but I don't know its history. Plus, I sent it to H spa, and also to have strap hooks replaced, so I don't know what they did either.

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! I have a mini bolide in gold as well. Is yours Evercolor?

I don't wear mine in the rain, I'd rather not risk.

I bought mine from TRR, which was a bit risky having seen the not to good opinions, but it went smoothly luckily!

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!

Little OT but that happened to my Kelly bag as well. The Palladium Hardware of the strap leaves black marks on the leather (Epsom). My store said it‘s normal.
