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 BagsMini Bolide 1923 in Bougainvillier Matte Alligator Mississippiensis with Palladium hardware. Bougainvillier is a vivid tropical pink with warm undertones. Matte finish on alligator produces a soft, flat surface where the scale pattern reads through texture rather than reflectivity. Palladium hardware cools the pink. Zipper closure with double rolled handles and detachable crossbody strap.
D stamp, 2019 production. Pristine condition.
Collector's Insight:
Exotic Mini Bolides are produced in significantly lower volume than standard leather versions. Matte Alligator Mississippiensis in a saturated color like Bougainvillier at Mini Bolide scale is a constrained specification that requires flawless scale proportioning across a small surface area.
Resale Insight:
Exotic Mini Bolides trade at a substantial premium over leather equivalents. Matte alligator in a vivid color with Palladium hardware is among the most sought-after exotic small-format configurations on the secondary market.
