I have recently fallen in love with the Bolide and want one in a 27. FYI this was on my never want one list so part of the 'never say never with H' thread.
I came to want one after buying a LV alma bb which has become my workhorse grab and go bag.
So now we get to the decision regarding color and skin. I generally go for very neutral bags but since this is so small, I think I'll venture into a color. So maybe a blue or purple. I'd like something I can wear year round. I'm in NY so would need to work in winter and summer. Any advice on color is appreciated.
Also I plan on getting a crossbody strap for it so it will rub against my side quite a bit. I don't want to have to be delicate at all with this bag. So I'd love your thoughts on the skin. My thoughts below:
Swift: easier to come by; love the hand feel and would have no qualms about having it in a Kelly or birkin...concerned it may be too delicate for a bolide that will be continually rubbing against my jeans etc
Epsom: easier to come by; takes color nicely; has never been a favorite of mine
Clemence: love clemence but

Chevre: love but I also think harder to come by and not sure how it would wear on a crossbody bag
Thanks in advance for any insights!
