I tried on a ML last year and put it on my wish list. I was lucky enough to pick one up from my boutique today but the strap length is a lot shorter than the one I tried on last year. I still love the bag but feeling a bit disappointed as it doesn’t sit as nice as a crossbody now on me. Has anyone else found this?

It took me years too. It's me wavering. I wanted to go for a pop of color, but couldn't decide on what color. This year, I went for etoupe in the end and been wearing mine non-stop as well. I barely reach for my etoupe B30 now.
I've been admiring your pictures. Is this yellow, or lime yellow? What is the name of the color?
Was very lucky to be offered one by going to a store opening, not on VIP shopping day but regular opening day. They had at least three. Black w GHW, black w PHW and an orange one. Made coming and waiting in line for 35 minutes worth it.
Wow! That's very lucky and great timing. Did you end up accepting one of these amazing offers?
Yes! Finally after patiently searching for one (not really working with an SA), I finally got one after 2 years. Unfortunately there was no vip room but I did go to a changing room. Grateful and happy.
Black w GHW! Perfect timing because im traveling right now and every day thats not raining, im using it. This bag holds so much!
OMG! Great choice! Black and GHW is such a classic and so timeless! You'll use it for many many many years to come!
They shortened the strap by about three inches. As a petite person I’m actually quite thrilled about this. It’s the main reason I didn’t want this bag because it sat too low like the Chanel woc and mini rectangle.
Is there a way to find out what mini lindy colors are currently available? Now that I want one would love to know all the color choices
Oh no! That would definitely put the kibosh on me ever getting another one, as the strap length on my existing ML is just right for me!
Le sigh, that's so sad to hear.
I know I was disappointed. I contacted customer services but they told me that the strap should measure 144cm and this picture is me measuring out 144cm and my actual ML strapOh no! That would definitely put the kibosh on me ever getting another one, as the strap length on my existing ML is just right for me!

This is so odd. My 2022 and 2024 MLs have the same strap length. My cavalle shoulder straps i use for my kellys are all 105 cm. They make my kellys sit perfectly to my hip at the same height as my ML. Maybe they mean 44 inches? The longest strap i’ve seen is 120 cm. 144 on a ML seem weird.
