Don’ t you love it when you see your dear departed bags show up here or elsewhere? I once saw a Bolide of mine ( with my initials on it) listed in Australia on EBay! ( I live in USA.)
Oh wow, that's really a world traveler Bolide!
I do sometimes wonder about my rehomed beauties and how they are faring with their new caretakers. That particular one always made me smile and I got the most comments on it of any of my H bags. RJ is such a happy color!
Sorry if this was answered elsewhere, but what size is your bolide? Is it a 35 or 37? It looks a bit bigger to me than the 35 I've seen. I get very confused by the sizes this comes in. Looking for something a 12.5" laptop would fit into with the straps closed.
Just saw this on The Sartorialist ig account
It could just be me, but that does not look like a bolide zipper. Otherwise, it does resemble a bolide 27cm. Regardless, I love the styling especially with those buttery, leather gloves.
This image is from Hermès but I haven't seen it before
The Bolide is lovely of course
The strap is the Harnachement- usually seen in espom, but this one is in Barenia, Bulter and Swift. VERY difficult to find in this leather combination- I think it has been a push order. In these leathers, I've never seen it in any other colors.
My SA and I call it "The strap of perfection"
It is the perfect weight, length and width for meIt's not long enough for me, apparently. It's only 85 cm. I need at least 120 cm for crossbody carryThe Bolide is lovely of course

I paid to have my PP repaired when a hook broke. For me, (and talking about a 35cm) it would be impossible to carry X-body anyway, but the Harnachement would be a perfect extra strap. If it reversed to Rouge H I'd hunt for it over seven seas to find one. I've a similar once for a large YSL bag (non-H but bespoke) that had no strap to begin with.
The good thing with the regular Bolide straps, is that you can wind them around your hand for extra safety. Something that isn't possible if straps are too wide.
I see Horizon in your future........It's not long enough for me, apparently. It's only 85 cm. I need at least 120 cm for crossbody carry
( although total truth- when I even semi-broached the subject to make it in potentially different colors ( and change 1 leather to make it "not a copy of an existing piece" it was STILL a fast reject.
I actually brought my strap with me to Paris once, in the hope I could get this done (or at least get the conversation started) and when the response was a " You want us to DYE this strap?" I grabbed it and left!!
I use it on a few bags- looks great with PP K too
someone told me, I can't remember who, that a Horizon order should be something that is not currently in production. So maybe let's wait for the Harnachement strap to be rested first then we can order itI see Horizon in your future........

I think I can do a crossbody for a Bolide 30. This is @Bereal with her Bolide 25 and the 30 is about +2.5 cm on each side, and I'm above average in height (177 cm / 5'10"), so I think I can pull it off. Maybe. 🤞
