Here are my ostrich bags. B25 noir with RGHW and mini Lindy nata with PHW. I love both! The B25 is prob my most used bag. :flowers:

And here’s a C18 in nata ostrich that was offered to me but I passed on.

These are all gorgeous! Just wondering do you do anything to protect the straps of the mini Lindy from oils? I have one in rose Texas and I keep the straps wrapped. However, I think it looks silly that way and am trying to figure out if I should just wear them naked.

Yes I actually got a Twilly Twin, which is extra long, and wrapped it around the strap! But I wear mine cross body. Since mine is a light color, I was particularly concerned about oils getting on the strap. I think it works!
Just took this picture to show what I mean. :smile: Since yours is a darker color, you may be able to get away without a Twilly.

Oh wow that is gorgeous! I may try to get one of those. Yeah, I think I just need to get over it and wear it naked. It took me a year before I took the twilly off my clemence picotin and I never looked back. I think with time I will get less fearful of touching the bag. Perhaps the twilly isn’t so much to protect the bag as it is to protect my mental wellbeing (haha). I actually have a pink hermes ostrich wallet I hand carry but I don’t care because it is 20 years old.

Love how vibrant your ostrich pieces are! I keep saying I want more color, but I keep getting neutral bags lol.

Amazing! 25 years old! How is the interior of the bag holding up after 25 years? Do you have photos to share?
Thank you! The interior is in excellent condition. I just sent this one to the spa to fix a couple areas where the follicles were scratched in the back. Very minor but it was an excuse to visit the flagship store in San Francisco (so beautiful!). I will be sure to update when it comes back.

Hahaha, don't we all love an excuse to go see the beautiful displays of H boutiques! Hope the spa fixes your issues and works wonders on the ostrich leather! Excited to see how it looks when it comes back!
