Hello,

Was thinking of buying a Chanel but by far I cannot resist the Lindy because it is a shoulder bag and has outside pockets.

I've seen most of the pictures in this forum.

Can you please post prices? I don't want to go into the Hermes store and make a fool of myself and tell them I want the cheapest one. hehe

Can somebody also posts pics on how you open & close it? With the 2 zippers it looks like it'shard to open/close it. Or do most of you just leave the zippers open & just close the clasp?

This will be my first ever Hermes so I really do need help.

My first color would either be a black with gold hardware or a raisin with silver hardware.

Thanks a bunch!

Hello ..
well I have posted a link to my pics ,here in the uk the price is 3010 ounds .To open you will have to unzip the 2 zippers on the side and unlock from the turnkey ,but i usually leave the zippers on and dontclose the clasp like in my pics .You can slip your hand inside and take what you want .Inside as well there are two open pockets on the side.Its quite a easy bag to do up .At least for me.

so i'll just give up the chanel and a Bal & i guess i'll be fine,

this is my first shopping trip to europe. So i guess i'll just tell DH i'll save because of the tax rebate hehe.

I loooove your blue lindy umamanikam! the reveal made my heart pound faster.

Welcome to H baileylab ...it can be addictive .You can leave one zip open ,but dont leave both the zippers open and put the weight entirely on the centre clasp

what do you mean?

can you post inside pics of the bag?

oh my goodness i am going to do serious damage (to me) at the Hermes store. I was thinking of getting a bag charm or two and some leather bracelets.


the blue jean looks amazing but i already have a blue tod's bag which i bought less than 6 months ago

what iI meant is dont leave both the zippers open and close the centre clasp on its own ,because it might damage the centre clasp .The open pockets are on the either side on the outside as well as in the inside.Try a lindy in store ,because H bags have to be tried ,too much money for the bags if you dont like the way it looks on you .They also come in two leathers ,the clemance (which i have ) and swift ( smoother leather ) which is few pounds expensive.

thanks so much Umamanikam. I usually look at how it hangs on other people but mainly I go by function first because I got tired of form first then. And if i want to buy something this expensive it really has to look good and be functional.

I'm sort of scared of SAs and how they look down on people. even if we make more money than they do hehehe.

There's also no designer store of any sort from where i live (only mass market stores like mango, lacoste, etc) so i'm hoping to play all I want at the Hermes store in Paris.

Most of the SAs at FSH are nice enough and there will be plenty of choices for you to play with. Just don't go to George V – it's a mixed bag of experiences there.
