The first bag in history to carry a zipper, made by Hermes in 1923. The Bolide 27 from Hermes in black Epsom leather with its distinctive dome shape, in palladium hardware and a shoulder strap. We noticed the dome curve lets it sit softly on the body, and the curved top zip opens the piece fully with ease. A historic icon with a timeless practical design.
