Hermès Mini Bolide 1923 Noir Mysore Chèvre Gold Hardware
Hermès Mini Bolide 1923 Noir Mysore Chèvre Gold Hardware
The Bolide 1923 keeps the domed silhouette of the first Bolide. At mini scale the body holds its shape between two rolled handles, the gold zip runs over the crown, and a detachable strap takes it crossbody.
Mysore Chèvre is a goatskin with a fine, irregular grain, lighter than calfskin and more scratch-resistant than smooth leathers such as Swift. In Noir, the grain gives the black a soft sheen against the gold zip and hardware.
Condition: 1 – Pristine
Color: Noir
Material: Mysore Chèvre
Hardware: Gold
Dimensions: 18.5 × 14.5 × 7.3 cm | 7.3" × 5.7" × 2.9"
Collector's Insight:
Émile-Maurice Hermès secured the rights to the zip fastener in France in the early 1920s, and the Bolide, introduced in 1923, was the first Hermès bag built around it. The Bolide 1923 line takes its name and shape from that original.
Resale Insight:
Mini Bolides are compared on leather first. Mysore Chèvre's grain masks the light scuffs that show quickly on smooth Swift, and on a zippered bag the zip's action and the strap are the other points buyers check.
