Hermès - Bolide - Håndtaske

This rare Hermès Bolide handbag is crafted from a bi-material combination of canvas and leather. The canvas is a military beige colour with a red background, complemented by naturally tanned cowhide leather for the handles and strap. Featuring red stitching, gold-plated hardware, double handles in naturally tanned cowhide leather, and a shoulder strap, offering the versatility to be carried by hand or on the shoulder. This bag showcases a gold metal zip closure. Its interior is lined with beige leather and includes a patch pocket. The signature inscription reads 'Hermès Paris Made in France' and is dated with the Z circle, indicating 1996. The bag is 31x24x12 cm (14.2 x 10.6 x 5.5 inches). The bag comes with a detachable shoulder strap, a zip closure, a bell, a padlock, and keys. This exceptional piece comes from the Hermès sale, where the original 'S' stamp has been discretely removed. The Bolide is in good vintage condition and exhibits minimal signs of wear on both the leather (zip tape in cracked leather, scratches, dirt, wrinkles) and the trim (stripes). Please note, the bag was professionally restored by a former Hermès artisan with a colour retouching treatment. A certificate of authenticity issued by an expert court-appointed in the Court of Appeal in Paris is available. This unique piece offers a timeless design and a touch of luxury for any collector.
