Hermès Bolide 1923 25 Nata Epsom GHW

Hermès Bolide 1923 is a standout among Bolide models. Here, it features Epsom leather in the shade Nata, glowing with its soft yet striking whiteness, as if lit from within. Epsom is a grainy leather with a defined texture, much tougher and more scratch-resistant than the softer Togo or the smooth Chevre. It maintains a tidy look over time thanks to its near impossibility to stretch or lose shape. To the touch — light but a bit stiff, like a crisp autumn leaf: unusual, yet pleasant.

The Bolide 1923 keeps its classic silhouette, harking back to its birth year, 1923, while its contemporary execution boasts flawless finishing and craftsmanship. A zip closure, handles, and neat stitching—each made with delicate care that’s hard to miss. Gold-tone hardware reveals a subtle shine, playing with light to add a small but stylish highlight.

The real kicker — individuality. The leather body in Nata Epsom surprises: slight matte texture, minimal porosity, strong resistance to noticeable damage. Compared to Togo — characterized by softer, larger grain and higher elasticity — or Chevre — a velvety, thin goatskin, — Epsom wins on durability while always appearing fresh.

Plus, if you wish, the model can be crafted in the size and leather you choose. No years of waiting — production times are usually short, and the overall quality demands respect. In the end, you get an item to carry confidently, fuss-free, thoughtfully detailed—that’s how it should be.
