Both are so beautiful! I have to say tho, the contrast stitching in the bolide is divine👌🏽 But LVs millesime is absolutely gorgeous. Question: does it smell strongly of leather? I've heard LV uses a special perfume-glue(???) on bags but as this is a new member of their leather family, I'm not sure if they can use the same techniques as with canvas for instance.
What a great video! Something different of all the other bags that we have seen 10000 times. I have a speedy in empreinte and a bolide31. It’s so hard to pick, I love both. ❤
Hi! I was looking for reviews on the Bolide 31 and found you. Thanks for this helpful comparison. The bag looks nice so I’m going to start looking for one. You got a new subbie! I have a handbag channel as well, although a tiny one. Love connecting with other handbag lovers through this platform 💖
I have literally never owned a leather bag much less an Hermès or LV one but I'd imagine the stiffer strap on the speedy would be preferable as the speedy is a bag that you most likely would want to wear on a particular part of your body (whether that's to the back slightly or to the front, etc) and a sturdier leather is more likely to mold to the shape of your shoulder in exactly the right place. Before that happens, it could be less comfortable but after its "learned" where and how much to bend, your bag will always rest in the same spot on your body and not move around so easily which is desirable in this style of crossbody due to how much it protrudes, i dont want that think swinging into things and people lol. The bolide rests closer to the body however so a softer strap is not a concern, maybe... Pls correct me if I'm wrong tho! 😅 I'm relatively new to the bag world and I love the nuance to all the details.
Thank you for watching and for your thoughtful comments/questions! The Speedy is a bit heavier, so I’ll mainly use it as a top handle bag. When it’s worn crossbody, it’s a little unwieldy, but the strap is useful if you need to throw it on your shoulder to be hands free. Over time, you are correct, if worn the same way, the strap would mold to your shoulder’s shape. It’s stiff compared to the LV Speedy mono vachetta leather strap, which is very soft. This is a different leather on the Millesime Speedy strap. Eventually it’ll break in. Let me know if you have other questions or thoughts 😊
Speedy 25 millesime leather or Hermes Bolide 31?

Both smell of leather only 😊
I’ve never heard of perfumed glue. LV canvas typically has a nice smell and there are leather accents with canvas that smell of leather
Fantastic comparison. They are both BEAUTIFUL ❤️❤️❤️
Very thorough and helpful! Thank you!
thank you for watching!

So glad it was helpful! 🥰
I am a Speedy lover too. I have the Damier Ebene in 25, but would love the cognac Empreinte 💕
Love the Damier ebene. On the long term wishlist 😊
I prefer the Hermès Bolide...love this bag.
Thank you, it’s a such a good bag

I never zip up my Bolide 35, it’s quite profound so I feel save with a opened bag.
I like the Bolide 31
It's truly good, ty!
Are they heavy?
The millesime speedy is heavy
