I'm in love with this bag. While Hermes makes gorgeous bags, now-a-days, it seems every woman is carrying either a Birkin or Kelly. Both are lovely, but. . .I love the Bolide for it's simplicity, and that is top open. One doesn't have to fuss with straps and a flap to get into the bag. Thanks for sharing.

[@ploooompkin]

word. I love the simpler bags like the bolide or picotin. carrying one of them is kind of a rebellion against carrying bags just for trend or social status.

[@cap4life1]

If you go to the mall or a shopping area, do you really see every woman wearing a B or K? Maybe due to social media algorithms, it seems as if everyone has one. But in reality people are carrying normal bags or using pockets.

[@mvatolentino]

Update please. How are you liking you Bolide 27 after a year? Are you wanting another, perhaps in the 31, etc? 😊 Would be interested to kkow

[@goldenfeels]

I love how honest you are with your reviews. As someone who isn’t the biggest fan of Hermès, it was cool that you explained the history and your reasoning behind your purchase.

[@melhwang]

Ahhhh! Thank you for this girl! But I totally feel you! ❤️

[@ywt5391]

If you like small bags, I highly recommend the mini Bolide as your next Hermes bag! Not only is it adorable, it is light weight, and fits so much more than it seems. Of course, the quality is unparalleled. I have both the mini Kelly and mini Bolide, and I find the mini Bolide to be much more useful. Easier to get in and fit so much more. Love the video!

[@TylerDeneuve]

Love your style. The Bolide is probably my favorite Hermès bag.

[@islandgirl8740]

Fantastic video! I've been considering a more "low-key" and casual addition to my Hermes handbag collection. My SA is so passionate about the Bolide, but I needed to learn more. Thank you for all of this information! Enjoy your beautiful Bolide--it will always be classic and never go out of style.

I love my bolide 27, much more than my Kelly 28. It's my most used Hermes bag and I am thinking of getting the Bolide 25 now.

[@rulin4962]

How do you compare the 27 and 25? I like the lower zipper in the 25 and evercolor leather, but also don’t know if the 25’s shape is too square like and the handles are too tight to get my hand through. Thanks!

[@jessicaheine2952]

hihi i literally bought myself the bolide 31 in rosé just before i watched your video and i almost cried of happiness when you pulled the black 27 out of the bag. :)

[@MoniqueSinha]

Love the bolide bag! It’s such a classic design with such a great history. Thank you for sharing.

[@hennylie8918]

Hello! Can you do a review of the wear and tear of this bag? I’m curious to see how the epson leather is doing 😊

[@tarreemhacaruso2687]

Just purchased a Bolide so I’m trying to figure out what can go into it. I also liked the history of the Bolide ❤️.

[@sheilacarlislepyreneesmom]

Great video! Great bag!

[@nghuiyen]

Congrats on the bag! Love it. Did you have to pre-spend at Hermes before requesting for the bolide?

[@mariagonzalez845]

I love the Bolide! Congratulations!!

[@angeltan3622]

Look into Mai Tai collection they have beautiful insert, made in France. Beautiful quality material.

[@melhwang]

Ohhhh! Never heard of that but definitely looking into it 😊

[@mubinafaizie4546]

Hi! I just chanced upon your video. I'm in love with your beautiful bag❤️ I love how detailed you are with the review! Thank you 💞

[@melhwang]

Awww thank you 🥰❤️ I try my best! These are big purchases! Every detail counts right 😂

[@daniaalbassam561]

Also what colors did they have ?

[@thewhenpy]

hello I want to ask if your bolide 27 has a code under the flap? because I got one but there's no code under the flap😢

[@ej5082]

Great video, lovely bag! Would you choose the Bolide or the LV Alma and why? :)

[@radicalaccounting]

gorgeous, and fun story. People say the soft leather Hermes holds up well. Thanks for sharing

[@nataliasamborska6101]

Holy cow you are a lucky girl 😍🍀love the bag it's beautiful 💖

[@melhwang]

Thanks so much girlfriend 🙈❤️

[@itsfaj]

Thank you for this. I needed to justify my decision lolll and found your video 💕💕💕

[@melhwang]

Haha the Bolide is amazing! One of the most underrated Hermes bags for sure

[@azucenavalencia1568]

So much happy for you dear Melissa 💕

[@melhwang]

Aw thank you beauty ❤️ you’ve been here from the get go ❤️

[@jeanmaddison2362]

[@melhwang]

Will definitely enjoy it! Thanks so much Jean ❤️

[@daniaalbassam561]

From which store ?

[@frimmingfamily]

well deserved girl!

[@melhwang]

🥺🥺🥺

[@estherwong9103]

I have exactly the same bag ! I got the samorga insert to protect it

[@JoelleAnello]

I find the sales associates at Hermes in Toronto to be so nice! I was almost shocked after watching so many videos with horror stories! Maybe next time I can ask if I can have a birkin so we can all laugh together 😂

[@melhwang]

TRUE! It’s the Canadian in us maybe 😂🙌🏻

[@angeltan3622]

Congrats. I just got mine in the jaune ambre color. This bag is very pretty and feminine.

[@melhwang]

Omg that colour sounds beautiful! Trying to work up the courage to buy a bold colour for my next bag 🙈

[@Seemstobereal]

Congratulations. I’ve been looking for the same bag but want a different colour.

[@Rwissam1987]

Beautiful classy bag! How is the wear and tear after one year?

[@woodlandspurple7443]

Thanks for the video and sharing. Can you advise where is the Year Stamp?

[@shycity92]

You’re almost at 40k congrats 🎉

[@melhwang]

Gahhhh! Thank you for recognizing beauty 🥺 appreciate you ❤️

[@nathalia_dias]

Amazing video, thanks for the story time!!!

[@melhwang]

Thanks for being here for it 🥹

[@erlinawibisono169]

Hi, beautiful and chic bag. What is the leather of your bolide? Thank you

[@melhwang]

It’s Epsom leather 🥰

[@Seemstobereal]

Omg I’m Shopping inTO with C ❤️❤️ she’s lovely. I’m writing before I see your bag but I wonder if it is a rose extreme or bleu brume.

[@tahneeblazekovic7634]

Could you please do a what's in my bag video

[@melhwang]

Great idea!!!

[@diandrat7061]

Hi Mel 😊 I was wondering if your Hermès Bolide 27 purchase came with the lock & key accessory.

[@melhwang]

Hi hiiii! It didn’t sadly! Not sure if it’s because of the size? 🥺

[@diandrat7061]

@@melhwang Regardless, it's still an incredible bag 😊 Thank you!

[@pinoyako9956]

Size 25 comes with lock & key.

[@emellieannsimtoco3449]

Love Hermes and I love the Bolide:))

[@TC-fq7cy]

You are so quite! As pretty as the bag!

[@tiengly]

Beautiful style and size… what is the price please? I would to one day own one.

[@mdr9209]

So beautiful...my dream of this one😍

[@nlitenme]

Congratulations on your new Hermès Bolide bag.

[@laoshiolsen]

Hermès has been the worst shopping experience I’ve ever had among luxury brands. They don’t answer the phone, don’t return voicemails, and have failed to keep multiple promises once I finally spoke to a person. If you are on the fence, look to another brand.

[@melhwang]

I am sooo soooo sorry to hear that! I’ve definitely heard this before and it’s so sad. I’ve definitely had my fair share of luxury poor experiences too. It’s awful! They don’t deserve your money ❤️

[@nataliafinegan4076]

Very very cute!

[@vivinew2656]

👍🏻👍🏻❤️

[@Seemstobereal]

Hehe not the one I was thinking

[@dudesneeds]

Lol art-eee-zen. Lol.

[@rubiirae]

Never thought anyone could make Hermes sound like a Mexican brand...'El Mex' LOL

[@KRE8TVT]

So who’s paying

[@melhwang]

I proudly saved and paid for this bag myself
