Joining the club again with a 26 this time in RC w GHW. Such a beautiful contrast from my 34 in glycine. I'm glad I was patient and waited on the perfect red.

Lindy I believe is designed to be a slouchy/ floppy bag. I have Lindys in 30 and 26 in swift, Clemence , evercolor and ostrich. Swift and ostrich are probably the lightest but at size 26, I don't think you will feel a huge difference. Swift will probably be the most scratch sensitive. And leather choices are again very subjective. But personally, I love my swift lindys most. Love the slouchiness too! Mope this helps.
Dear Kkho - How is the weather in sunny island these days? Hazy still? It has been a year since and I wonder if you still have your Lindy 26 and 30. Short of going to Hermes in SF, I hope to get an answer over here. I have a 26 in clemence and I am wondering about the difference in length for the 30 with the shoulder strap. Right now it falls just around my waist area .. How far more does it goes with your 30 if you were to wear it over your shoulder. Thanks a million if you could help .. :biggrin::biggrin:

Hi Ladies. I posted this question on another Hermes thread, but think it is better asked here. Would you purchase a Lindy 30 Gold /GHW if you already own a Kelly 35 Gold/PHW? I love neutral bags and want a neutral colour Lindy. Just not sure if they are both too similar? Thank you in advance!!

I would personally seek variety. If I already have that gold Kelly, I would try and look for another color for a Lindy. Good luck deciding! :smile:

Hi lyseiki8! Thankfully, no hazy days for a long time.
Anyway I'm 5'3 and I will try to post a model shot with both my L26 and 30 to answer your question. Will try to do it this weekend.

I am also curious about this. And it's perfect we have the same height! :smile:
I have an L30 which I absolutely use all the time and I had been wanting a new Lindy. Not sure if to get the same size as I have or if to go with L26.

I love lindy 30, have seen L26 up close it is quite small
I am not sure how other ladies fit everything in a L26 , it would be a struggle for me...
If i put the same amount of stuff which fits in my L30 to a L26,
the L26 would look very bulk / puffy and not the shape it intends to be carried or displayed!

It really depends how much you carry - I have both and what i carry fits in both sizes - a bearn wallet, karo pm (for makeup, contacts etc), tissue, calvi, wipes, sunglasses... in fact i can fit more if i carry my mini bearn instead of the bearn wallet. So its up to you which looks better on you... IF the 26 can fit what you carry... any chance you can try in thestore to see which look you prefer?
