Ode to the bolide

[benjinito]

Ooh how are your bags holding up? I don’t know much about this leather and was considering this vs chevre, but I think gold comes more often in evercolor

I’m not sure if it’s the evercolor leather, or the shape of the bag (it’s the only mini Bolide I own) but the bag started to look misshaped fairly quickly. This picture was taken 5 months after I bought it.

I still like it a lot, but I don’t think I’d repurchase, at least not in Evercolor.

Perhaps you would like an epsom mini bolide? Epsom leather is known to be very durable, holds structure well, and scratch/rain resistant.

Does that exist? I’d love that, but I thought they’re only made in chevre or evercolor I’ve seen the 25 in Epsom.

Thanks for the info! I'll have to remember to ask some questions next time I visit H.

Although, I do remember hearing that someone said the Birkin Faubourg is limited to 50 in each colourway. But thats a different caliber of a bag... so perhaps thats why its a bold line

Was this detail coming from a reseller?

The Mini Bolide only comes in Chevre and Evercolor for regular leathers.

No, it doesn't.

Thank you for the insight !! That’s a bummer! Would love to hear from others if your chèvre or evercolor has this problem. I also haven’t seen any in Epsom, save for the bolide on wheels (which I think is the mini size ?)

I’d love to see how a Chevre mini Bolide aged if someone has one!

Hmmm... not sure, but I think they do? Or maybe thats only the mini bolide on wheels lol

No, it doesn't.

I can't remember where I heard 50. I think it was from someone who received one. Perhaps they're VIP and asked about it?

I think they have popped up on the H site before, so I doubt it would be that limited ?

Really? A Birkin on the H site? Especially a B20 Faubourg?

Here’s some pics of a Bolide on Wheels in Vert Fizz Epsom leather and Blanc Wheels with PHW.

I found some pics from a reseller, seems like at least this Evercolor bag aged similarly?

Thank you, I'm well aware that the Bolide on Wheels is made in Epsom. It's the only leather for it but a regular mini Bolide doesn't come in Epsom.

Mine are also in evercolor and even when new, already exhibited this “waist” or indentation.

My 25 in evercolor does not have this indentation.

The mini bolide in evercolor is softer and slouchier vs the 25 in evercolor. It doesn’t really bother me but it might bother some people. I love the mini bolide. It’s so cute and handy and can actually fit a substantial amount of stuff.
