The story behind the Bolide
Hermès dates the Bolide to 1923 and ties its rounded, zipped design to motor travel; it was the first Hermès bag closed by a zipper. Made in miniature, handbag and travel sizes.
Discover Hermès Bolide BagsThe On Wheels version sets the mini on four working wheels in Feu orange, embossed HERMÈS PARIS, turning the small bag into a toy-like object.
The body is Craie Epsom, a chalky off-white, with brown piping tracing the arch, and palladium hardware keeps the pale palette cool.
Collector's Insight:
The On Wheels is one of the house's lighter-hearted pieces, a working miniature of the 1923 Bolide on wheels, made in a limited run of colorways.
Resale Insight:
Pale Epsom shows marks and color transfer readily, and the wheels take scuffs from any surface they touch, so buyers check both, along with the piping.
