for the love of god, pls don't !!!. If color transfer happens ( which is inevitable for light coloured bags), just send them in for cleaning ( Hermes Store) ASAP.

[emoji4] I’ve been spraying them with the Apple Garde rain and stain water repellent. It was just fine. Maybe someday , I’ll bring them to the spa. But it takes long for the turn around.

Yes Thanks! I kept browsing and saw that post. Very helpful. :smile:

They closed the Hermes boutique near me in Jan. 2017 and now I feel lost. I can’t pop in to try on bags and gaze at all the goodies. I’m about 6 hrs. from one now.......:sad:
Glad you saw them.
That’s terrible. Maybe there’s a 2nd hand shop that sells high end things closer to you? Maybe send them an email asking if they get a L26 or 30 to give you a call?
 
I just got my Lindy yesterday:) What a great Thanksgiving holiday!!!
Now, I’m thinking to get a Mai Tai insert for my Lindy 26, but I’m not sure a bag can be shaped like fortune cookie with this insert. Can someone tell me about this? I also would like to hear any other insert recommendations for Lindy.

Did you see my picture above your post? It will still fortune cookie when you hand carry although I didn't post a pic of that. I can add a pic with the insert a little later today. What Lindy leather did you get ?

My lovely baby is Clemence. I want to have some support since it will be soften soon. I love to see the picture if you could post!
 
Thank you posting both sizes to compare!

I really want a Black Lindy and am currently debating which size. I prefer the Birkin 30 over the 35 and recently sold a Birkin 25 as I found it too small for my height. I’m 5’7” and thin so I’m not sure what size for my 1st Lindy. Since I want black and not a color (for now) I’m thinking a 30?
L30 is a good size, i'm 5'4. But now that i have l26, i think i like l26 for fun and l30 for office or for everyday too. I mainly got the l26 for traveling purpose as well. I carried K28 with me past few travels and they get quite heavy.

As promised here is a pic of my Lindy with the Mai Tai insert inside. As you can see it will still fortune cookie. Her insert is very thin and flexible. IMO I think the MT is better than the Samorga for the Lindy.

Thank you for the picture and comment. It’s so helpful to decide the insert for my Lindy. I just ordered Mai Tai. I hope it will arrive soon because I’m waiting to use a bag.

That's great news. What color insert did you order? And I hope you'll share a picture when it arrives, with your new bag :flowers: And what color is your new bag? So many questions I have :lol:
