Those of you who aren't necessarily Lindy fans but got this bag (I remember a couple commenters saying it in this thread!), can you let me know if you are enjoying the bag a lot?
Was asked by my SA if I'd be interested in one. Thing is I am actually a little on the fence...don't get me wrong, I think the bag is super duper cute, I just don't know if it's for me as I've never been too attracted to the Lindy style. So if anyone were in the same boat as me, I would love to hear your thoughts. I am trying to remind myself to not get caught up in it being a "hot" and "hard to get" bag (also, hopefully it's gotten better now that it's been a while?) and only go for it if it truly is something I want and would be useful. TIA!

I have never been interested in a Lindy and I got the ML. The simple fact that it goes crossbody adds a lot of value for me. It's also adorable and fits a surprising amount. Do you like how it looks? Do you like the color combo you are offered? Do you think you would use it? Do you love it? These are the things I would ask myself upon seeing it in person, if you do get an offer. Don't count it out just because you don't love the Lindy, but also smart of you to be conscious of not getting caught up in the hype.
I think you have a very practical perspective. I'm a practical person in general but when it comes to things of beauty (H world), sometimes I do get carried away. Aesthetically, I think that the mini lindy is very adorable, and I like the look better than the bigger sizes (even though those are more practical). I actually don't like the "dumpling" look of the bigger bags. There is a part of me that wants it because it's an it bag right now, but it is expensive for what it is. I think I would only get it if the specs were exactly something that appealed to me, I wouldn't make any compromises. I think the mini L is cross-body though so that part does appeal to me.
Thank you both! That's exactly the type of advice I was hoping for
Skybluesky, like you, I too don't quite like the "dumpling" look of the Lindy either, and that's why they never called to me, but at the same time, I respect how that is what makes them special and unique. While the mini Lindy is cuter to me, I also think that it loses that unique "Lindyness" because of it. Hopefully I'm making sense! I do love and use cross-body bags heavily though, and with what Rhl2987 said about its surprising capacity, it does sound like this will be a very practical bag for me.
I will take your very useful suggestions and think about the spec (color), will only try if it's one of the shades I'm looking to add to my bag collection. Time to find the comment with list of current colors & text SA!

You're welcome! You're right, the dumpling look is what really makes unique. Without the dumpling look, it's almost more like an LV speedy, but it's still really cute. It would be beautiful as a neutral or a pop color, but I don't even know what specs I would want it in (I'm a firm believer in seeing a bag in person). From what I've seen and heard, it tends to fit most smart phones, and the square-ish shape allows it to fit a fair amount. I saw a person with one in gris asphalte or etoupe with gold hardware and it pretty adorable.
FP has another one up for 12.5K. It's nuts!! I did see two sell and get returned though - people are maybe buying it just to try it on at home.
I'm in this camp. The bigger Lindy never got me excited. I've tried the Mini Lindy a bunch of times and I think it's very cute. It's also tempting because they are SO coveted. I want a crossbody mini bag that closes fully (unlike the Evie TPM) and is a little less casual than the TPM. I ended up buying a Loewe mini Puzzle which is just a tiny bit bigger.
I know this doesn't exactly answer your q but I've tried this bag on so many times. I do think it's useful and adorable. But for me in the end it's a no.
There was one on the website at some time this evening. For the past 4 hours at least, “not available” to add to that cart. With stores closing and no new stock for stores and the website for ~6 weeks (or longer) according to information from other threads, this may have been the last one online for awhile.
OMG I AM DEAD. Congratulations, she is beautiful! That SWIFT! Drool.
