Hi all, figured just at give an update as I’ve finally seen and got the bolide messenger and its actually a very nice-sized bag (and while at the store, my SA surprised me with a Birkin 30 Vert Mangrove, but I’ll save that for a later post haha).

The size of the Messenger is similar to the lady’s bolide 25, or the previous one with the skateboard base, and inside, you get one side compartment. The thick canvas strap is adjustable but not removable, and overall, its a good city bag as you get to fit in most essentials, even a small mini ipad. My color is Caban and again, I really love how Hermes does its colored leathers - it looks like black under dark or colored lighting, but when you put it under the sunlight, the blue hue of Caban shows up. The only fault I have is that there are no studs at the base of the bag (unlike the Petit Courrier), so the Togo leather can get scruff easily from abrasion and wear.

Looks great. I recently got one too in noir. But I haven’t taken it out of the box yet. It’s bigger than my Kelly Messenger PM so I might use it for work. Let me know how this bag is working for you.
Thanks and congratulations.

What an absolute gorgeous stunner!! Unbelievable :love: :love: :love:

I use Zoomoni inserts, they have been wonderful to work with, they have 1.2 mm and 2 mm felt inserts, and 1.2 and 2 mm silky ones. Samorga treated me horribly, accused me of lying in spite of photographic proof, and never sent me the correct insert (they sent a Chanel WOC insert instead of a mm boy bag size) never made it right so never going back. Yikes. Talk about the sales prevention department!

One final option if you are in the US and you want a more rigid insert, Connie at Divide and Conquer at Etsy makes beautiful inserts made of yacht sail cloth, with many pockets, with a waterproof inside bottom. She will customize options, and they hold a bag’s shape really well. I adore her and she’s made my inserts for my larger bags. HTH.

Whatever you choose this bag is a once in a lifetime stunner! Congrats 🤎🤎🤎
