I’m finally here!

Lindy was the very first H bag I wanted. But it’s been so hard to find the specs I wanted - noir clemence PHW. So... a Birkin, a Constance and an Evelyne later, I finally have a Lindy.

I always thought I would be going for an L26, because I tried the L30 always stuffed. Surprisingly, the L30 is actually perfect for me. Thank goodness my SA encouraged me to try it with my stuff in it. The way it collapses is just perfect.

Presenting my L30 Noir Clemence PHW from FSH.

Ok SUPER giddy here! I’m new to the Hermes forum and I have been lurking here for a few months now. I went to Hermes today to pick up a twilly I ordered online and I decided to also try on the Evelyne in the store because everyone has been recommending it as a solid bag if you have kids. I tried it on and it was beautiful but a little big on me (I’m 5’0).

I’ve always wanted a Lindy but it’s a bit out of my price point at this time, but I decided to have a lil fun and asked if I could try the Lindy 30 that was on display. My SA said she would bring out a Lindy 26 because it would work better with my shorter frame. When she removed the Lindy from the dust bag I actually gasped because I didn’t expect the bag to look so stunning! It was Gris Etain in gold hardware. I tried it on and I knew I had to have it. It just blended in with my casual style. It was one of those insanely expensive impulsive purchases that I knew I would regret if I passed on. (Also the SA kept telling me over and over that it was a rare size and color and she couldn’t promise if I’d be able to find it again, wondering how true that is?) Can’t wait to show you guys what it looks like with the twilly on! Will share pics later. Thank you for letting me share my first Hermes bag story. [emoji4][emoji208][emoji92][emoji94]

I think my SA knew I have a thing for grey and gold because I was also wearing my Céline belt bag. [emoji6]

She is absolutely beautiful and so fun with your twilly too. I have a 26 Gris Etain PHW and like you said, I literally gasped when I saw this color and like you it was such an impulse as I never really considered a Gray in the Lindy. So glad I got it in my collection also. It’s a chameleon, yet softer IMO.

Congrats again!
