Does anyone know if the L30 currently is or ever was available in either of the two combos below? And if so, any chance someone out there has a Href they could share?

- Swift, gold, GHW
- Swift, gold, GHW, verso interior

Thanks :)

First-time poster here!
I'm having a hard time deciding on whether to keep this beautiful Lindy 30 in Rouge Casaque that I just got from Fashionphile. The color and condition are gorgeous, way better in person than on the listing.

I've had my eyes on a size 26 for a long time, but I was out for one on the pre-loved market. Lately it's been terribly hard to find one at a price I was willing to pay for pre-loved, so I pulled the trigger on this one. Quarantine has given me a bad itch to buy stuff.
I'm quite petite, 4'11" (maybe 5' on a really good day) and I find the 30 to be quite heavy with only essentials (picotin 18 fits everything I need comfortably). I can't decide if it's too heavy for practical use, and I have to admit it's a little large for my frame. Compared to my LV Neo Noe (my pre-covid work bag) though, I don't think it looks too outrageous.

For those of you who have both sizes, is there a big difference in the weight and size? I've gone back and forth so many times on whether I will come to love this bag more as I use it, or if I will regret removing the tags!

also please disregard my messy WFH set up in the background, lol.

For what it's worth, rouge casaque is my personal favorite true red (and this is within the H world of reds in which I love so many!) This is a beauty :) My best friend had a L34 in RC once upon a time and I literally did a jaw-drop the first time I saw it.

I would suggest pick a color that you love as decision making point. For example I wanted a bambou and it’s only available in Clemence. Both leathers are wonderful, Clemence is a bit heavier but with such small bag weight does not matter. Personally I prefer crossbody bag in more “durable“ leather like Clemence which easily wipe it down for color transfer from jeans.

Thanks Tonka! that makes a lot of sense. I would love a dark blue with ghw or maybe a gold ghw....

I have both sizes. The L30 is great for traveling. But the L26 is my favorite for everyday. Especially in the winter when I want hands free. I haven't used my L30 since I got the L26's because it's too big for everyday (I am a bit taller at 5'2"). Unless you are going to use the L30 for travel I would hold out for the perfect L26. I cant suggest anyone ever settle for a bag. It's too much money for something to sit around gathering dust.

So i just had to post an update, because I was seriously tripping at how big the L30 seemed when I got it from Fashionphile. I have never inspected an L30 in person aside from seeing it on other people in passing, so when it was larger than expected out of the box, I just figured it was just me. Turns out, Fashionphile mislabeled it as an L30 but was in fact an L34. I don't know why I didn't measure it right away out of the box! So on a 4'11" frame, understandably it was just way too large to use. I feel so stupid LOL.

I did end up finding a beautiful Magnolia L26 from Rebag which I just got today (prompting me to actually measure the RC one). It's perfect and I couldn't be happier! Now for more things to reopen in LA so that I can take her out...

:panic: I love my L26's! When I got my first one a few years ago I used it non-stop for at least 8 months. I had to force myself to change bags!

I know these are addressed way back in the Ode and Swift threads but would like to revive a few questions for updated info... Thanks :)
- Is Swift noticeably lighter than Clemence in the same size L?
- How does Swift do on a L30's corners? I have an Evie in Clemence and try to switch up the leathers when getting a new bag.
- Does anyone have photos of the inside of a L30 with a fourbi in there? Would love to see both how it fits and how it looks from the outside, like if the fourbi changes the dumpling shape or is soft enough to allow the L to look as if nothing is in there.

I think the length looks totally fine but I get that it could feel like it looks too short - I am the same height as you are and wear my crossbody bags on the long side... H's short cross-body straps is a pet peeve and I've heard I'm not alone :)

I like bags to hit at my hip, not at my waist, so the bags where you can either swap out straps or creatively "lengthen" the strap (i.e. I use a twilly to extend my Evie TPM strap like this https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/what-fits-in-the-evelyne-tpm.1012292/post-33510466) work better for me than the fixed strap bags. Just personal preference though!

My first post on this forum and I'm a newbie to this Lindy group. Finally got my first leather Hermes after owning two other canvas models!

Wanted to share my joy in getting my L30 in Canopee GHW! I love how versatile this bag is and how
I can use it as an everyday bag as it goes well in whatever outfits I'm in; be it yoga attire or tee shirts and
shorts. :)

Also bought a couple of protections for my new "baby" which I totally love -
1. Bag Pillow from BAQ (https://www.facebook.com/baqbaginbag)
2. Bag Liner called "Lindy Smile" which will not collapse when the Lindy folds into dumpling shape; also from BAQ
3. Silicon protector for base studs

Wishing everyone a great week ahead. :)
