Can't believe I had to wait 2 years for a mini-lindy... patience pays off eventually.

Hihi... so nice !!! Do you find hard to maintain this color? Color or dirt stains ?
I'd personally go with feu, because it can suit both summer and fall/winter clothes... I find bleu du nord is a hard color to pair, it's in that awkward between territory of neither a neutral nor a pop color.
I think here the answer lies in your wardrobe - I started with Feu and now have Anémone …
Never thought about the seasons, excellent point! My heart is telling me bleu du nord but my brain tells me to choose feu.
I know for sure bleu du nord will work out better. I am hesitant because I have 2 blue bags already. If I choose feu, it’s because I just wanted to add a different color to my collection…hence my dilemma.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I hope you have the chance to check out the two colors "in person". I have heard complaints from people that they feel that bleu du nord appears like a "dirty" blue. Feu is very very close to the Hermes boxes. So even if you have no access to the bag, you can try out if an Hermes box complements your favorite outfits. Personally I think one can never have enough blue bags
(I have at least four blue Hermes bags in deep blue, bleu electric, bleu nuit and bleu sapphire and then another four by other brands 
IMO, clemence is a very good leather for the mini lindy. It wears well, and scratches are less noticeable.
I would definitely go for a dark neutral like black, grey, navy or gold. The back of the mini lindy does rub against your clothes so you will have some wear on the back if you use the bag regularly. I like PHW since the mini lindy is a casual looking bag and PHW has a more casual vibe than GHW.
In the end, it's all up to personal preference!

I think that’s what I needed to hear… that it’s ok to get another blue bag, especially if I know it will work for me. Normally, I am not that fickle minded but when I see these beautiful bag collections on tpf, it makes me second guess my decision. Thank you for making me realize that. Btw, saw the two and the blue is perfect!
Glad I could help! Please do not hesitate to post a picture as soon as you receive your beauty. I am quite curious what it looks like now!
tq for the comparison ... i really love ML but the strap is short on me as i am a CB lover and most my bags are CB ... i already told my SA to remove my WL on ML ... what a shame
I bought a bleu du nord ML in the summer (my post is somewhere back there on the thread) and I am finding it is working very well this winter. I guess the clue is in the colour name - blue of the north which suggests the cool northern light. I wear a lot of navy blue and it goes brilliantly with that. I had a lot of gushing in store the other day! Difficult choice though as the feu would also look great with navy. Orange is the complementary colour to blue on the colour wheel. I might get something in feu one day but for me it is a nice to rather than must have. I hope this helps with your decisionThank you for your reply!
