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 Sunset edition applies concentric arch color-blocking across the Bolide body in four Epsom panels radiating from the base outward. Each color occupies a distinct zone with clean seaming between panels. Epsom's rigid, embossed grain holds the color boundaries sharply. Palladium lock and hardware with contrast red clochette.
Collector's Insight:
The Rainbow Bolide was produced in limited seasonal editions with specific color combinations designated as Sunset or other palette names. The four-panel construction requires precise color matching and seaming across a curved silhouette, which adds production complexity relative to single-color Bolides. Each colorway was produced for a single season.
Resale Insight:
Rainbow and multicolor Bolide editions trade above standard single-color Bolide 30 pricing. The Sunset palette's warm-toned color blocking has broader collector appeal than neutral Rainbow variants.
