Hi All,
Some questions regarding mini Lindy and hoping to get some insights here: does purchase of a mini Lindy count toward pre-spend for a quota bag in the US? or does it subtract the existing pre-spend? My SA said there is a long wait-list for a mini Lindy...does this mean a no? Any insights would be appreciated!

my understanding is that no leather bags or SLGs count towards any pre-spend. Like all the other cute mini style bags they are definitely in higher demand. I started asking for one in 2019 and only now just got one.

The SA I spoke with (not my home SA) said they treat mini Ls as a quota bag. This is in Crystals store in Vegas. Again he’s not my usual SA, so I dunno how true it is. So just keep asking her maybe once in a while so she knows you’re serious.
In my experience anything I buy goes to purchase history. Last year I bought a mini Lindy which counted towards getting a B. But it could be different with other stores. At least this is my experience with two H stores in two different states.
I don’t believe it’s gonna “subtract” from your purchase history. But if you get a mini L and are hoping for another hard to get bag, you might just get one this year and the other next year. For example, I already got myself a mini C and a CTG from my SA this year, so I don’t think I’ll be getting a quota bag offer from her anymore til next year.

Thank you all for your replies!! @Ethengdurst , it’d be great if the mini Lindy could count towards a quota bag in my store!! Your store is so nice!! Seems like my pre-spent is close enough to get a quota, but I was hopping if I could get a mini Lindy, and that could be added to my pre-spent for a sought-after color. But it seems like impossible. Thank you again for sharing your experiences!
 
Hello lovely TPFers! This is my first ever post so please bear with me. I have been reading your kind, supportive and super helpful posts. Being of a certain vintage, it’s taken me a while to decipher the various abbreviations (I wonder if there is a glossary?) but I’m getting there ☺️.

I’d like to share with you my latest H purchase. After a year of drooling I have recently taken ownership of a bleu du nord lindy mini. It’s been quite a quest. As an aside, I wonder if a PhD could be studied in scoring a hard to source H bag? Subjects covered could include strategy, going up against bots on the internet and behavioural economics with the store SAs

Anyway, going off topic there. So here she is (spookily enough the background wall colour looks a lot like etoupe!).7282119C-3B14-4836-8733-B71B230992C5.jpeg I absolutely adore her and you are all right, she can carry so much. All my other H bags are in neutral colours so the colour was quite a departure for me. But I reasoned that of all the bags to buy, the Lindy mini was the one to do it with. An SA in the SS London store did tell me that Hermes is known as the “House of Colour”. Having said that, I’d also now love another in gold which would match my gold verso garden file. Let’s hope Lindy mini’s are like buses - you wait ages for one and then they all come at once!

I saw recently on instagram a creative person had shortened the strap to make it a handheld by wrapping the folded strap with a Twilly. But i wasn’t sure from the photo as to how she had done it. Does anyone have any tips?

What a beautiful colour! So glad you love it! And you are hilarious it’s just what I needed this morning indeed let’s wait patiently for the bus!

this is so cute. I love the color!
 
Allow me to share my mini Lindy! I’m Newish to Hermes and have been trying to get a mini Lindy since the beginning. Though I was really hoping to get a neutral color, I know that ML in general is hard to come by as usually reserved for long term clients.

I decided to accept the and have that pop of color in the bag collection. It’s framboise verso with rogue sellier in swift and PHW.

Excited to use it but also concerned with the swift leather. Any other swift ML owners please share your experiences with the bags if you don’t mind. Thank you !

also, anyone use a liner or something with it ? Please share if you use one or not.

I got a ML in swift vert bosphore color about 6 months ago. Have only carried it a few times but I am enjoying the smooth swift leather. I ordered an insert from from White Fox bags on Etsy in July but it won't arrive until sometime in September

Congrats! Such a beautiful colour and verso as well. Very special. I have a mini L in swift and also other bags in that leather. In my experience there is really no need to baby the bag. I don’t have problems in general with this leather. Use it in good health :smile::heart:

I don’t use a liner so can’t help you on that

Thank you for sharing! I will learn to let go a bit and not be too bothered with the leather. It’s my first swift so extra special

This is so beautiful!! Please share photos of the inside! Verso pieces are the best in my humble opinion. H does really beautiful colours (even though so are their neutrals) so I think you made a wonderful decision!
Mine is also in swift, verso sesame and bleu brume interior, I haven’t had the opportunity to use it much (thank you lockdown) but it doesn’t feel any more delicate than other H leathers. I decided to not get an organiser despite mine being a very light colour inside, because it’s already quite small inside ( although deceiving spacious?!), and I didn’t feel that I needed it either yet.
Hope you enjoy your bag!

Thank you for sharing and also big congrats to your new bag! I bought an insert - let’s see how it works out. I’ll be happy to take a picture of how it looks in the next couple of days
