Lindy Lovers I need advice please. I bought an A stamp verso clemence Lindy advertised as a L26. When I opened the package today to my surprise it looked huge and I quickly realized it's a L30. I don't carry much on a daily basis and I'm petite. While I like the longer shoulder strap I'm afraid it looks too bulky on me. Your thoughts or opinions would be appreciated. Should I keep or return? (Btw, I do own an evercolor L26 already)

(And I know dragonette rocks her 30 and we are similar heights but I swear she looks taller, lol)

Verso Lindy is just gorgeous!
It actually look ok on your frame, may be it is in black colour and don't look very bulky.
However, I would say to return the bag if you are so used to small bag and don't like the bulkiness. :smile:

I used L26 more than a L30 as like you, I do not carry alot daily.

Side note: My L26 black is also a verso, black/toffee. Seems to be same as your new L30 verso. Hehe

Hello sis! [emoji112] [emoji173]️
I hope you are enjoying carrying our twin bag as much as I do. This is in clemence leather, less stiff than Evercolor and hence, may be less boxy, looks smaller than a L30 in Evercolor in my opinion. ;)
Hi sis!! I've decided to part with the L30. I love the clemence leather but the size is too much. I only carry 4 small items daily and they swim in the bag. I will try for another L26 hopefully in black but whatever comes my way first that makes me happy will be the 'one'. Sorry to be sisters with you so briefly :sad:

Don’t be sad, sis. By returning the L30 that does not suit you is the right decision you made! :) The next Lindy that comes will be a better choice. :)

I'm glad you came to the right decision for you! I think my L30 is a bit floppier and softer, so it looks a bit smaller. When I tried it on at FSH, my SA told me to put my (very heavy) camera into the bag. It collapsed very nicely and I decided I wanted it right away, even though previously I always thought L30 was too big for me. For some reason, my L30 feels a lot softer than the other L30's I've tried before. The others I've tried always struck me the way yours felt like to you - HUGE like a gym bag. I think there is such a thing as bag fate. You just know when a bag is meant to be yours. :)
 
Lindy 26 in Evercolor Gris Asphalte from London NBS [emoji5] I’m 5’3 and usually wear heels... have tried my friends’ L30s in darker colours and they looked big on me. The 26 does fit a lot less, if I have my glasses case + wallet in the 26, it won’t fold like a fortune cookie because of the content...

26 is a perfect size for you

I so admired the L30 on you dragonette but you're right about bag fate :smile:
