Lot Essay
Thinking of Hermès handbags with a long history, what comes in mind for most handbags collectors might be the iconic Birkin, the stylish Kelly or the chic Constance. Bolide is actually a model that not only carries your taste, but also carries history of handbags making. Bolide was designed in 1923 by Émile Hermès for drivers who enjoyed traveling with style. Émile Hermès introduced zippers to France after World War I. He incorporated Hermès leather making craftsmanship with zips and created the world’s first zipped handbag: Bolide.
