IG always has these super rare bags I never thought existed. I even saw a matte croc Shark Bolide (yes in exotic croc) on insta before!

Yeah I saw that. The proportions look a bit off, though. It doesn't look like the standard 45 used for the Shark Bolide. Looks more like a Bolide 31. But the poster said he got it via SO so who am I to judge. :smile:

There is a new edition of SaD (Light?) with a leather-covered lock. I wonder if it comes in leathers other than epsom.

I was shown this version in Bleu Nuit Togo, alongside my Noir Togo Brushed Palladium.

For me I liked that the brushed hardware was distinctive without being too showy, whilst the inlaid leather made the lock disappear, which I felt detracted from the design. If I needed any further convincing, the inlaid leather is more expensive!!

I will add that the craftsmanship is incredible on the lock, with the leather sitting flush with the hardware rim. I presume the hardware has a section ‘subtracted’ that the leather sits in.

I saw this particular version on the UK website when I first ran across the SaD Light earlier this year. I haven't seen it on any other Hermès country sites or in my local shop. I've seen Epsom and Togo as available leathers and it seems hardware is either polished, brushed, or brushed with the leather insert (to match the briefcase).

Oh wow. How much more expensive, if I may ask? I actually like this direction of H where they seem to obliterate any sign of branding on new bags for men.

If i remember correctly it was about £800 more than my Togo/Brushed, about £5,300 I think. Obviously Epsom version would be slightly cheaper.

I screen grabbed a couple shots of a noir Epsom with leather hardware when it was on the website, will upload when I get home if that helps at all?

I should check the UK site more often. The mainland EU countries seem to show the same stuff.
