Why the Bolide Is Hermès’s Oldest Zippered Bag
The Hermès Bolide was created 1923 by Émile-Maurice Hermès and holds the distinction of being the first bag ever fitted with a zipper (Hermès patented the zipper application for leather bags). Originally designed as a travel bag for automobile drivers (the name “Bolide” refers to a fast-moving object or racing car), the bag became iconic through the 1930s-1970s carried by figures including Grace Kelly, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, and Catherine Deneuve. Hermès discontinued the Bolide production in the early 2000s but relaunched the collection in 2018 with the Bolide 1923 revival (heritage proportions, saddle-stitched construction, original zipper mechanism restored). Modern Bolide references include Bolide 1923 (revival, 27cm and 31cm), Bolide 25 (small), Bolide 27 (medium), Bolide 31 (larger, most classic), Bolide 35 (largest), and Bolide Mini (2020s addition). The Bolide has walk-in availability at most Hermès boutiques including Bal Harbour Shops (less allocation-gated than Birkin/Kelly), making secondary market pricing closer to retail with 10-40% premium above retail across standard configurations. Rare exotic Bolide and limited colors command 100-300% premiums.
