Rouge Sellier Chevre leather gives this Hermes Bolide 18 a deep red finish with a fine grain. Narrow stitching follows the curved upper seam and the pointed leather tabs beneath the handles. Matching leather continues across the broad front panel, keeping the exterior color consistent from the base to the rounded handle arches.

Gold tone rings sit beside the handles, and the zipper follows the dome of the bag toward the sides. The teardrop shaped attachments have tonal seams around their edges. Warm metal accents contrast with the darker red leather, while the large front panel remains free of a separate external flap.

Two rounded leather handles provide hand carry for the compact Bolide 18. The body meets a softly rounded lower edge, with small metal feet beneath the base. Curved seams, textured goatskin and gold tone fittings complete its domed silhouette.
