This is so insightful - thank you! I also think that mini Bolide maybe my best bet at this point. Does mini bolide come in evercolor mostly? do you like its leather? I like the soft leather so am not a fan of epsom right now... but i have never touched evercolor.

Mini Bolides are made either in Chevre or Evercolor. If you do a search on this thread you'll find lots of pics. ;) Good luck with your decision.

So excited to finally join this club! I was actually hunting for a Kelly or Roulis, but after I saw a Bolide mou, I fell in love with the slouchy look. Then I came here and read so many praises for the Bolide. I actually dismissed the Bolide initially because I had an Alma BB and I didn’t like it as it was so rigid and the zip was such a hassle. But with the Bolide, it’s surprisingly easy!

Also, since my new to me Bolide 31 in black clemence didn’t come with the original padlock (but had a clochette), I got myself a lovely charm - the 1993 pegasus, which costs quite a lot but I couldn’t resist because I love horses! Thanks for letting me share my joy!

It’s gorgeous! What a beauty. This bag is on my wish list. Is it heavy to carry?

I recently bought a mini bolide and I absolutely love it! I find it less formal than B, easier to get in and out of than K, more subtle than C, and overall just super stinking cute 😍
For a mini bag it packs quite a bit - today I have an umbrella, calvi, earbuds, lip gloss, keys, transit card, hair tie, and my phone. Everything fits snugly inside without pushing against the leather.
I'm 5'7" and it lands at the waist when I wear it cross body, which is fine with me. I don't shoulder carry bags so I have no opinion there, but the handles are teeny weeny so they won't go over my wrist - hand carry only.
Also, this is the first of my H bags that I have wanted to accessorize. I wear my bags "naked", but I heard my mini bolide calling for a twilly. Who knows, I may even buy a rodeo for her one day!View attachment 6029999

Thank you! I love shw over ghw and I dress casually so this is perfect for me. I was surprised by how light the bag is actually! It is lighter than other similar sized bags 🙂 My vintage herbag is heavier
