The dimensions for the Kelly Messenger GM are 33cm wide (across base) x 14cm deep x 27cm high. It will be able to fit a 33cm (13in) laptop or smaller. I am not yet sure if it will be considered quota.

@r luvs h so helpfully found the dimensions of the Kelly Messenger bag. I measured my 15" Lenovo laptop and it'll fit! ARGH, now it makes my decision of whether to return the Kelly Depeches even harder. (I know they're entirely different bags for entirely different purposes.) I really hope the Kelly Messenger is more attainable than the QBs!!!

I got the Euclide cardholder in Noir and Bleu Indigo Epsom leather last week, my first website purchase. I just got the Evercolor Provence card holder in Gold recently and used it for 2 weeks. Loved it, but needed something less prone to showing stains (and something less delicate, because it is so soft and supple), which has more card slots. The Euclide is exactly what I'm looking for. The bi-color is quite subtle since Bleu Indigo is so dark that it almost looks black.

Been using the wallet daily since Saturday and I absolutely love it!

I will still rotate my cards periodically into the Provence just to change things up. The touch of the Evercolour is divine! Never owned a wallet/card holder with such supple leather.

Are you still enjoying this wonderful piece? How has it aged?

I have the Citizen Twill card holder in Evercolor (2 external cc slots and 1 center pocket). Now I am considering the MC² Euclide card holder in either Evercolor or Epsom. They are hard to find in the US, but will keep looking and waiting.

Last month I was green lit in the Faubourg Saint Honore store. I visited on a Saturday and didn't find anything in the ready goods that I felt like I "had to" buy. However, there was a staff member that I always speak to when I visit the shop and he was not there. It was my first time back post covid, so 3 years. I came back on the following Monday, we chatted for a bit and I told him I as unable to get an appointment to speak to someone regarding leather goods. NOTE: I was not asking him to help with this, he is not a sales person either. He asked me to wait one moment and the next thing you know he is introducing me the the head of leather goods department who then introduces me to a sales associate right away. The sales associate takes me upstairs and flat out says, "What would you like." At that point I realized nothing is off the table, nothing. So I asked what I really wanted, an HAC in 40 cm. She left for quite a long time and returned with a very large box and was apologetic. She said not only did they have zero HAC available, she could not even offer one for special order at this time.... HOWEVER, if I would like a Birkin here is one she can make available. So, I'm not crazy, I bought the bag, however I am very unsure if this is a bag I feel comfortable carrying unlike the HAC. What do you guys think?

I am still enjoying the piece. I use it as my every-day wallet. However, because there is no structural lining between the layers of leather, the cards have warped the shape of the wallet, making it look much more used than wallets from other brands. You can see the outline of the cards inside, from the outside. I do put two cards in each of the internal slots which makes the card shape more pronounced from the outside. However, even when I only put one card in each slot, the cards were apparent from the outside of the wallet.

I still love it. The materials and craftsmanship is way better than any of my other wallets from other brands. I just wished that it looked nicer from the outside once I put cards in it.

I may very well let the bag go onto a home with someone that will truly love it and wait until I get the bag I really want. It's only brand new once and this bag is still BRAND NEW!

Congratulations! I would definitely keep this! While I love my two HACs, sometimes their large size makes them inappropriate to use in some situations, like a nice dinner/evening out. The HACs look like travel bags. The Birkin 40 isn't as tall so it won't look as inappropriate. I'm hoping to get a Birkin 40 (or 35) someday so that I can have a smaller option to carry.

Glad to hear it! Wow, so you currently have eight cards loaded? That’ll definitely warp the shape of this wallet! I only carry four cards and a few folded bills. The card shape shouldn’t be as pronounced from the outside with this setup. I can’t wait to get a hold of one!

I can obviously say the same about the materials and craftsmanship of my Citizen Twill card holder. The Evercolor leather is supple, yet durable and ages very well. My card holder still looks great after three years of daily use.

Hi, new member here. Have been contemplating a Sac a Depeches 21 this year. I don't seem to see a lot of guys rocking this bag online. Does anyone here own one and willing to share pictures? Also, what do you all think of this bag? I like the practicality and the simplicity of this bag, similar to an Evelyne tpm. :smile:

How is the long-term daily use wear/tear of SLGs in Evercolor and Epsom leathers in gold color? I am considering getting a card holder in gold color, but not sure if a light color SLG is a good idea for daily use.

My favourite and most used bag! I haven’t put this bag in it’s dust bag in over a year - I use it pretty much any time I go anywhere. I find myself neglecting all my other bags and just grabbing this one no matter the occasion now :smile: Mini Lindy - Gold Clemence + PHW

It really works for you - quite a revelation
I have never been taken with the standard Lindys
You show how the miniaturisation of the Lindy is a good idea
and transforms it into a different, stylish, useful and usable bag
