Ode to the bolide

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 it :tender:

I think I can do a crossbody for a Bolide 30.
It might have been me.
I don't think you can comfortably crossbody a Bolide 30 with the regular strap. 🤔 You will need to borrow someone's to try it out. 😉

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. 🤞
Totally there with you. Just put it on the list of Hermes items I fantasize about.
 
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" :lol: It is the perfect weight, length and width for me

It is the strap of perfection. It’s also adjustable.

I would like to get my first bolide (25). Not too picky about color but obviously have preference for specific ones. Would it be better in terms of pricing to get it from the resell market or wait to get from boutique? My SA already knows I'm interested and has told me they do come by but not every month say would require a bit of a wait.

it is sometimes sold on the H website, so they're not particularly difficult to get, although they do get snapped up pretty quickly

they can be the same price (or more expensive if brand new) on the resale market, and usually the ones available are the basic colors like gold or black

I bought my brand new 25cm 1923 bolide in Tokyo last fall at a trusted reseller and had quite the choice of colors and leathers. I paid a small price greater than US retail in order to get what I wanted but it wasn't that much---especially when one factors in taxes---also the dollar was extremely strong at the time, which helped.
 
Got a Bolide 25 from FSH, and was wondering if anyone has used a Kelly Sellier 25 insert from MaiTai for it?

I have read from this thread that the Bolide 27 insert fits but I prefer the fabric of the K25S that she has on stock.

TIA! :)

Hi I’ve just tried and it fits but leaves a bit of room, is not a perfect size. See below pic
