Aw, you're welcome! You're so sweet! I went back and read your entire journey of getting your bolide! I love how involved your husband was, too! I tried on the mini, it was cute but too small. The 27 is a great size, I just need to find it in the right color/leather specs!



Let me pour you some tea :flowers:

Do you know if Bolides can be special ordered to get the color/leather you want?
I love them in Rouge Casaque:girlsigh:
I haven’t seen that color being offered after I bought my noir Bolide.

I hope you find the exact specs you are looking for :happydance:

Prior to my Bolide 31, I always bought bags that had just enough room for my items and I never had room to add something else in my bag. So I said my next bag is going to have extra room. I am loving it bigger ... I feel like I can breath :giggle: and the same with my Evelyne 29 it has so much extra room too...

I am so happy you read my whole journey .. that’s a lot of pages .... you rock :heart:
My hubby is still by my side helping me decide on what item works best for me. He gets just as excited when we go to the Hermes store or FedEx arrives :heart: my hubby is such a gem :blush:

Thank you so much for your utter kindness :hbeat:


A lovely romp through your journey to the ultimate destination - Hermes. I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially since a Gucci bag was my first slide into "handbag bankruptcy" as well. You made a great first choice. The Bolide is one of H's most user friendly bags, and in Clemence, it will be your trusted companion for life. You did a great job accessorizing her, as well. It really pays to do your H. homework and think about what will really work best for you (I made some rash Hermes decisions in the past and lived to regret them!)

And, your adorable pup all decked out in Hermes ribbon bows! Where did you ever find them? I have a friend with a beloved Maltese who has her hair "styled" as your sweetie does, and I'd love to gift her with a set of these.

Well, welcome to the H. world. I have a feeling that this bag just might be the first of many!



You are so sweet for taking the time reading my journey :love:
Sorry about regretting some of your H purchases. I hope you now have some items you now love:heart:
I mailed a doggie bow place my H ribbon and she made them.
But unfortunately, this place closed down shortly after.

Thank you and have a wonderful evening :hugs:

I am going to use my Calvi for my department store coupons!
It will work out perfectly :happydance:

I placed a twilly in each side of my Calvi gives you an idea how much room it has!

I have always adored my red compact Constance Wallet, so this Calvi will go nicely in my bags!
Easy to find since inside Miss Bo and Miss Evie is a black interior.

This is what I now carry in my bags. My iPhone is not here it is taking the picture.

Here is a photo with my iPhoneX .....
I feel so organize now!:heart:
To the far left is my red big sunglasses case.

When I put all these items in Miss Bo or Miss Evie, there is PLENTY I mean lots of room left inside my bags.

Thank you for coming by as my H Journey continues! :ghi5:

Have a great week everyone!

This is indeed a YUMMY CALVI! That rouge piment is GORGEOUS! I have been thinking about getting a calvi, too. It looks perfect for holding a few cards and some dollars. (After buying it, I may not have too many dollars left. :P:lol:

You're welcome! Do you think you'll get another bolide or ask your SA for a B or a K? I know you said in your first thread that Bs don't do it for you, but maybe you've reconsidered?

In Notorious Pink's article, it says that you can special order a bolide, so I think yes, I think they might still be available for SO! I think most people pick B/K/C when they get the opportunity for SO.

I am just trying to learn more about Hermes. No plans for a B or a different color Bo in the near future.
I should give it a try using my Bolide without a strap.
Sometimes there is no place to sit my Bolide down and I am SO thankful I have her strap to keep her safe.

You are very kind to send those two links :love:
Thank you :flowers:
 
Good morning Purse :heart: Ladies,
Sipping my coffee in my flower garden!
Wishing you all a superb summer! :coolio:

Thanks for bringing this thread back! I am somewhat new to Hermès and enjoyed reading it. Like you, my first two bags were a noir Evie 29 (I ordered on-line during lockdown) and when stores opened, I got a noir Bolide 31. Two Ulysses, two twillys and two bracelets later, still enjoying the Hermès journey. (And some of the very few LV items that I hung on to include my mini pouchette and my key holder!)

Just read this thread now. Thank you for all the lovely reveal photos and stories!
Congratulations on your lovely H collection! My two first H bags were also the Evie (though the 33) and the Bolide 31. They really compliment each other and I use them in a similar way to you. Looking forward to keep following your H journey! Have a lovely summer!

It sounds like the start of our journeys, we are kind of like twins :ghi5:

Thanks so much for your kindness :heart:

Add me as a third, my first was Etoupe Evelyne PM and second was an Etain Bolide 31. Bolide is my favourite H bag and Evelyne is my most frequently carried bag in my whole bag wardrobe.
Great pics and storytelling in this thread!

I think the Bolide might be one of the most underrated H bags (the Evie seems more popular, at least more noticeable when out on town). The Bolide is such a classic and timeless handbag that never will go out of style! :love: If I had to only pick one of them, it might have to be the Bolide. Though I love how much of a workhorse the Evie is! Fits so much and a perfect grab and go handbag. Which is why I have both. :biggrin::heart:

Any other H bags you are considering getting in the future? Looking forward to see what next you will reveal! :loveeyes:

I feel the same about the Bolide (being my favourite) and the Evie being my most frequently used (I use it everyday to work). It's such a great combination of H bags!
