Got too excited to tell the story xD. Mine is not as exciting as the others...Bolide 1923 Evercolor 25 in Vert Amande! I've been waiting for a non epsom Bolide for a loooong time!

I had the Bolide 1923-25 or 27 on my wishlist since February 2023.
Unfortunately, I moved states in Australia for work in April 2023, and then had to start a new SA relationship in a new state boutique store.
In November, my SA mentioned that for a Bolide, I'd have to wait until next year for Bolides to come. At this point, I had flagged that I was into softer leathers, and currently Epsom wasnt my preferred.
In December, when I was shopping for Christmas gifts, she asked if I'd be interested in Vert Amande Evercolor 1923-25, which would be coming next year. Although my top preference was a Noir, I loved neutrals. She once again mentioned it'd have to be in Jan.
However, she did mention about the B30 and K28 on my wishlist and if I wanted them instead I could wait. I remember reading advice from TPF to ask if getting the Bolide would impact a quota offer. Her answer was yes and no. I told her I understood that in Australia there is a minimum 3 month wait between bags. I asked how long did she think any of the other offers would be, and she said more then 3 months! So I opted for the Bolide and fingers crossed that my next offer is a B30 or a K28 🤣🤣
I've read alot about the corners.... I'm hoping it isn't as bad as they say because I would like this to be a workhorseCongratulations …love the colour. Evercolour is gorgeous leather but be careful with corners.
