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 BagsThis charm shrinks the Bolide, the domed, top-zip bag Hermès introduced in 1923 as its first zippered design, to a miniature in Blue Jean Swift, a smooth leather with a fine grain, with palladium hardware. It clips to a bag handle or works as a key charm.
Collector's Insight:
The Bolide was the first Hermès bag to use a zipper, and the charm keeps its rounded, top-zip shape.
Resale Insight:
Buyers check the Swift for scratches and the zip pull and clasp for plating wear.
