Charles Lindbergh. His nickname was Lucky Lindy. The lindy is designed like an aviator tote bag and named in his honor.
Sorry if everyone else knows this, but I just found this out.

MrsS - I had not seen the article in HB or the thread. Comments in the thread seem to suggest it was named after the Lindy Hop dance - year of the dance etc.
Yesterday the manager of the H boutique near me told me the Lindy is designed/structured like an aviator bag and named after Chas Lindbergh, *Luck Lindy.*
That makes sense to me, given the design of the bag and that his historic flight was from Long Island to Paris.
I figured it was after Lindbergh, altho i didnt know why. I didnt think it was named after Lindy's Cheesecake.
Altho imagine the possiblities if Hermes had named the bag "Lucky":
DH: How was your day, dear?
Me: Oh, I got Lucky today.

I thought the same as Cynthia, that it was named after the Lindy hop as it was the year of the dance and all that. And I always thought, neat! The Lindy hop is such an under appreciated dance, I guess it still is in the eyes of Hermes
