Hermès Mini Bolide 1923 On Wheels Craie Epsom Feu Wheels Palladium Hardware The Bolide was conceived by Émile-Maurice Hermès in 1923 as the first leather handbag to incorporate a zippered closure, originally designed for automotive use and carried by early motor enthusiasts. The 1923 designation in the current production name acknowledges this historical lineage; Hermès reissued the original silhouette under the Bolide 1923 name in recent collections, reproducing the dome-top form and central zipper of the founding model. The On Wheels variant adds four functional polyurethane wheels embossed with HERMÈS PARIS in concentric ring relief, transforming a structured SLG into a rolling object that operates as a true automotive miniature. Craie reads as warm chalk-white at distance with a soft cream undertone characteristic of the colorway under Epsom's fine cross-hatch embossing. Brown leather piping frames the wheel arches in contrast to the body, producing a tricolor reading against the saturated wheel components. The On Wheels program operates on single-season allocation per release cycle with non-repeating body and wheel color combinations across editions, placing each configuration in restricted-production territory from the first day of allocation. Condition: 1 – Pristine Stamp: G (2026) Color: Craie / Feu (wheels) / Brown (arch piping) Leather: Epsom Hardware: Palladium Includes: Box, Dustbag, Chaîne d'Ancre Chain Strap Dimensions: 19 x 17 x 9 cm | 7.5" W x 6.7" H x 3.5" D Strap Drop: Inquire Collector's Insight: The Bolide On Wheels format was introduced as a novelty SLG project in the early 2020s and has been reissued in restricted seasonal configurations across recent collections, with each colorway treated as a single-release allocation. The construction adds genuine rolling wheels to a structured Hermès silhouette, placing the format alongside Hermès' established novelty leather projects rather than within standard production lines. Embossed HERMÈS PARIS lettering on the wheel components is molded directly into the polyurethane rather than applied as surface print, holding through wear. Resale Insight: Bolide On Wheels editions trade above standard Mini Bolide pricing due to limited seasonal production, novelty positioning, and non-recurring colorway combinations across release cycles. Current-year stamped production in Pristine condition with intact wheel components and complete original packaging holds the strongest secondary market positioning for the format. Wheel surface scuffing or HERMÈS PARIS embossing degradation materially affects valuation and is not field-restorable. » Shop Hermès Birkin » Shop Hermès Kelly » Accessory Chains » JaneFinds Condition Guide » Hermès Date Stamp Reference » Sell With JaneFinds
