Dear Lindy experts, I need some advice.
I’m in the market for a bag I can use for work, something that can fit all my basic essentials (wallet, keys, sunglasses, makeup pouch...) and also a water bottle and lunch (yes, well-secured, no spills!). I don’t need to carry files or a laptop. Shoulder carry is a must, I know from bitter experience that handheld only doesn’t work for me.

I’ve set my eyes on Lindy 30, but based on the reviews I’ve seen and read I hear many say they’d prefer the size 26 - some even regret buying the 30! The weight and bulkiness seem to be some of the main issues. I don’t think the 26 is big enough for my needs, but the comments make me hesitate... is Lindy 30 the right bag for me?

Would you recommend Lindy 30? What are the pros and cons? Do you think some other bag would be a better choice for me?

I would get the smaller bag and bring a cheap lunch bag for lunch, that way you can use the bag for other occasions (weekend, etc), and you don’t have to worry about any spills/food odor. Also, what if you want to dine out for lunch sometimes? As I get older, I’m appreciating smaller purses more and more.

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. :smile:

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. :smile:

What a gorgeous colour! I love green. Waiting for mine to arrive. It’s vert olive. Can’t wait! Is this colour easy to style with other colours?

Hi! The bag looks great on you. What is your height? I’m deciding between 30 and 34.

Hi everyone, it’s my first post on TPF. I just got my first Lindy 26 bamboo PHW from the H store and I’m in love!

When you’re not using the Lindy, do you store it with a bag pillow? I thought about getting one but I worry that it might stretch the leather and ruin the shape.

I’m thinking to dress it up with a twilly. What do you think will go with this summery green? TIA! :)53DB3131-8C81-4EB4-A00B-F421581728D1.jpeg717A4730-BC83-4AFF-88E1-46F73D82ED33.jpeg

Congrats and welcome. What a beautiful refreshing color! When I store my Lindy's I use several air pillows (like what comes with your Amazon delivery) I also use my bag insert in my clemence Lindy because I don't like it too smooshie. On my evercolor Lindy's the air pillows are enough. Hope this helps.

Thank you Addicted to bags! Mine is in clemence leather. Which insert do you have and how do you find it? I’ve watched some videos that said the insert changed the natural slouch spot on the bag and loses the dumpling shape. TIA! :)

I have the Mai Tai insert. The Mai Tai fits the best imo. If you like the bag to become super slouchy then maybe you don't need the insert. But the Mai Tai does not seem to have changed the slouch spot nor does it leave an imprint. I'll try to find pictures

Did the bag come with air wrapped in tissue paper? The color is gorgeous. Totally smitten.

Hi all!

I got the strap from a shop on instagram called eon.stores, but I also saw a bag strap shop on etsy called shoulderbagstrap.
I requested a 1.5” (4cm) black strap with clemence-like leather, and since I’m only 5’3” I found 29.5” (75cm) length is perfect for me (lindy handle is around 5”).

Awesome idea! Can you show us how the strap is attached please?
