The Origins of the Bolide

Good evening, everyone!

This is ISEYA ONLINE.

March was warmer than expected,

making me think, "Ah, spring is early...",

but April has been surprisingly cold, with even some snow.

However, the cherry blossoms bloomed early, and there's a sadness that they might scatter

before Golden Week...

How are you all doing?

Our shop, as always,

though irregularly, when new items arrive,

the absolute best items are lined up.

Please be sure to check back regularly.

Now then! This time, it's about a very popular brand in our shop,

Among its collections, one series particularly catches the eye...

Yes!

It's the 『Bolide』!

This popular series features a beautiful and unique form.

I'd like to delve a little into the history of the Bolide.

◆History of the Hermes Bolide◆

The Bolide was born in 『1923』, making it a series celebrating its 100th anniversary.

Its history is older than the brand's popular Kelly, and its design, featuring a prominent zipper,

was rare at the time and gained great popularity.

However, the Bolide had a different name when it was first released...

In fact, when it was first launched, it was named 『Bugatti』.

It is said that its shape resembled the front of a Bugatti car,

and the name was adopted from there.

Bugatti also reportedly sold similar products,

but to differentiate, it was renamed to 『Bolide』, which means 『racing car』 in French,

in 1923.

Its timeless, simple design features a distinctive rounded shape.

High-quality leather is used in the center, where the zipper is prominently placed.

Everything about it is first-class.

Please enjoy the wonderful brand 『Hermes』.

We look forward to seeing you.
