sending H vibes to you
bprim, I loved the part where you went out right from work. That sounds like me.....although I've been known ( when I was collecting porcelain dolls ) to jump up and run out immediately
if not sooner to see the latest arrivals.
You'll get your Lindy.....your choice sounds very beautiful!

Aww, brpimuslevy, if it makes you feel better, I'm still saving
for my first H purchase.
I'm sure you will get the bag that is meant for you
soon.

That's a complicated question. There are actually 3 bags and 3 colors I would like to begin my collection with. First the colors, Rose Dragee, Rouge Garrance, and a brown (I haven't decided which one yet). The three bags are the Lindy, the Birkin, and the Kelly. At this point, I wouldn't even dream about the Birkin or Kelly.
I feel like it would be better to get the Lindy as a nice casual/weekend bag. The Birkin would be an every day bag and the Kelly would be for those days when I want to go a little dressier. I work in IT and on days when I wear something other than jeans I get the, "Are you going on an interview?" question.
My preference is to have the Lindy in the Rose Dragee. If I were to be able to get a Birkin I would like it in the Rouge G and the Kelly in a brown.
the reason i asked is b/c (IMO) the rose dragee is a really pretty color but (again in my opinion) its a delicate lovely color...............much better suited to a kelly or plume or other small dressier bag. the Lindy being a truly casual bag would be gorgeous in brown swift or etoupe or clemence in some neutral color. i see a birkin in rouge g certainly.........i see a kelly 28 or 32 for the rose........
You were so smart not to settle. The right bag will be there...and you'll be so glad that you waited.
hmmm... that gave me alot to think about.
If I already had a Kelly in a neutral color I would probably look for a Kelly in the RD. I would like a Kelly because it would be part of my professional wardrobe. Of the bags I have right now, I really don't have anything that goes well with a suit.
I could switch the Lindy and the Birkin colors. Do the Lindy in Rouge G and the Birkin in RD. I saw in another post another tPF'er who has the Birkin in RD and I drooled over it a couple of times that day (okay maybe it was more like 10).
What I take into consideration are bags I already have that I plan on keeping for some time, and how I use them. I have a Ralph Lauren Aviator Bag in dark brown (fall and winter casual and work casual) and a Bottega Veneta Campana in Magnolia Pink (casual but it can't get wet).
On the other hand, I like the etoupe Lindy suggestion. I have seen the other members' etoupe bags and I'm liking them.
Decisions, decisions. What am I going to do?
Sorry to complicate the matter--but i do think that size, purpose and color are important factors...........quite frankly so as not to waste your money (and opportunity to buy hard to find bags). I have bought beautiful bags but that have little utility.............for example a birkin in 25 or 30 would be gorgeous in RD but a 35 (a big tote) in RD doesnt make sense to me.........
I completely value the feedback. You're right. When making a purchase like this one should be sure the bag is going to be utilized.
I can't do a 35. They have a RD Flat Kelly in 35 and it was too much for me. I'm 5'4" and it didn't look proportional, and I don't carry much in my purses, a wallet, a card case, and a makeup bag to organize things I don't want loose in my bag.
The store had a white 30/32 Kelly and, had it been another color, I would have purchased it.
