Hello everyone! Finally decided on Toolbox 20 in Feu evercolor phw :) while waiting for it to arrive, i was looking at some bag organizers. I realized Divide and Conquer does not make one for this size, but I can customize. Can anyone share the interior measurements of the Toolbox 20?

Hi! New to the forum and joined because I’m really struggling in deciding between a Lindy 26 or Toolbox 20. I have a heavy toddler which means pretty much a bum shoulder and sore back, so looking at the smaller sizes. Anyone have both and which would you recommend? Pros and cons would be much appreciated!! Thanks!!! :)

Welcome to the forum! I have both in bigger sizes, a Lindy 30 and a Toolbox 26, and a toddler. :smile:
The Lindy is easier to use whenever I am with my son because you can leave it open, whereas the toolbox, you need to close it. Getting in and out the lindy is easier. The canvas strap for the toolbox is more comfortable on the shoulders though.

Hello! Both bags allow for shoulder carry, but the Toolbox 20 lets you in and out of it easily, compared to the Lindy. However, there’s really something about the Lindy shape that makes it so attractive. So I suggest get the Toolbox 20 now and then when your toddler is much easier to handle, go for Lindy. Both bags are beautiful and would be awesome to have both

I like them both! For shoulder carry, i’d Recommend Lindy.

Lindy 26 con - i have to feel my way around inside, hard to open bag bec it's so floopy.

TB20 con - strap not long enough for me but that can be easily fixed.
Pros: easy open close. you can see what you need.

I personally love the TB20 over the Lindy 26.

TB 20 wins. Both fit a lot, even a long wallet. I was surprised how much the TB 20 fit. Regretting getting the TB 26 - too big for me.

FYI i'm not concerned how a bag will look on me. My main concern is that it's lightweight and fits my stuff.

Nowadays i'm into small and lightweight bags. Hello Chanel!

Good luck!!

Hi,
I have found the TB very easy to use- to carry , to get to the things inside and also to be able to see in the bag.

My 3rd H bag in November alone after scoring a Bolide 27 Bougainvillea Epsom leather in PHW and Garden Party 30 in Jaune Ambre Vauche Country leather! I must be mad!‍♀️

But I would be madder to pass this gorgeous Lime Toolbox 20 in Swift Leather + Permabrass hardware. More so when SA was so sweet to offer me a matching cutie Rodeo PM to add to my stable!

Thanks for letting me share. This beauty puts a smile to my face every time I look at her.

I find myself reaching more for the toolbox than my other bags right now. Probably because it is winter and mine is a purple bag that goes well with my blacks/greys outfit right now. If it's my only bag, I probably will be just as happy. This is a perfect daytime bag. Others have commented on how they dislike the strap being at an awkward length of not too long and not too short but it is not an issue with me.

I have been considering a toolbox but I am wondering if the turnlock on the top of the bag is sufficient to keep it closed when you're wearing it and maybe banging up against people in a crowded setting (think rush hour commutes, crowded escalators, etc.). Of course I suppose one could use a Hermes lock to shut it securely but I'm sure I'll bend the key or misplace it at some point. So I am mainly interested in the functionality of the tool box: do people feel safe with it on their shoulders or in their hands?

I stopped dead in my tracks when you mentioned lime toolbox. I do like lime, it's my 3rd kelly. Your picture does not to my eye pick up the ever so slight greenish undertone I would expect in the Lime TB, as in the kelly. Is this just the light the picture was taken in, perhaps a very warm light? The reason I ask is that I was too late to get a lime belt so I ordered jaune naples. That turned out to be a yellow with a peachy undertone, not the citrus or citron that lime is. Returned the belt, I'm a green gal. If you have a pix of the Lime TB where it's greenish, I would really appreciate it as I'm thinking of getting a TB in lime as I said. This is a little OCD (overdosing on lime) on my part but I like lime so much it's a pleasant thought. Also, could I see the GP in Jaune Ambre? I've seen a shot or two in the leather colors thread and that is a nice color for sure.

Congrats on all your acquisitions.
