:smile:Hi all, thank you for your comment to my previous question. After many thoughts, chats with shop assistant who even let me put my personal stuff into the bag to see how it looks on me (coz it's from a reseller), I think it looks good so I finally say yes to this new to me Lindy 34 in blue sapphire PHW. It is going to be my work bag, gym bag and probably travel bag. I am so excited to join this club and can't wait to present it to you all. Thank you for letting me share :smile:View attachment 3749927

Hi ladies i am thinking of adding a lindy 26 into my lindy collection. All my lindys are 30 and I love them. The only issue i hv with size 30 is the frequent act of bumping into things and people. I hesitated to buy 26 as I once saw someone with it and it looks very tiny. I wondered if the bag is filled, will hand carry be an issue? Will the handles bend? Cos when i fill the 30 up, I can't hand carry without bending the handles towards each other. I have no issue if I don't fill it more than half full though. Hope to hear some opinions !

Answering my own question :lol:
I tried on a L26 yesterday at a reseller shop. Yes. The handles do bend even if it's half filled unlike the 30.
The handles are very short. Not very comfortable to me. L26 is more of a shoulder bag to comfortably wear it for me. Think I will probably give this size a miss...

I am very new to Lindy and in love with colvert color I am wondering is there a ghw on colvert lindy 26 ? I found one at the reseller but can not find any lindy colvert with GHW

I think GHW on Lindy is kind of rare. I've only seen bi-color RG one & Etain one with GHW. I usually see special versions like verso or bi-color with GHW.

Just got my second Hermes bag ever, a Lindy 30 in black togo leather! I'm still getting used to it but I'm having trouble opening and closing it fully with the hardware over the turn key thingy. Is there an easy way to do this or do people just leave it zipped but not secured by the hardware? Thanks!

Congrats! I may be in the minority here, but I carry it unzipped. To add a layer of security, I carry it with the opening against my body (if that makes any sense).

I carry mine unzipped all the time, with the lock in the slot but not turned. This way if I need anything, I just lift up the flap. I feel like even with this way, it is still secure since the bag itself is a little troublesome to get in and out. I carried it around downtown and it's fine. There might have been maybe only a couple of instances where I had to close up everything because I was in a super crowded place.
Having said all of that, I hope you enjoy your new bag. I love mine, I hope you do yours too. :heart:
