The Hermès Mini Lindy Thread

[MadTulip]

What colour is this does anyone remember?

It looks like rouge sellier.

Yes, I think it’s Rouge Sellier.
For comparison, see the interior of my verso coin purse, which is also Rouge Sellier. (That said, the colour could show differently as my coin purse is Epsom and the Mini Lindy would likely be in Clemence…

Joining the ML family with this Nata Swift verso with Lime interior. Even though Nata and Swift were never high on my list, the Lime interior killed me and i wanted it instantly the moment I saw the verso… it’s like a little egg! what a nice surprise.

A summer Mini Lindy fresh out of the box. Going to try to use the new XL twilly to wrap the strap if it’s long enough

Love this bag. Do we need to be concerned about color transfer? No one said anything in the store. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Color transfer is less about the bag and more about your clothes. If you wear clothing where the dye is likely to come off (like jeans), then yes, you should be concerned. The leather itself will not draw out color from your clothes.

Here's my ML in Beton. Found a hack to shorten the straps to use it like a shoulder bag with a twilly!

Looks super cute. I think I’ll do this with my bag too!! I’m not a big crossbody girl but I definitely wanted a mini Lindy in my collection.

Is it comfortable to wear like this?

Yes, I use it when I wear jeans or dark colored pants to avoid color transfer!

For those who are based in US, would you say it’s hard to get ML in neutral colors in boutiques nowadays? How is the pre-spending situation?

There are some Black Friday sales going on on secondhand store websites, and so far the price for ML in gold is about 1.8 times to twice of the retail price, and non-neutrals (red, orange, blue, etc) or non-clemence can be about 1.5k-3k above retail.

I’m still debating if I should just abandon the idea of buying from those sources and bite the bullet by choosing to visit local boutique. It’s 2 hours drive round trip, but with the pre-spending at least I get to choose what I really want? But, how do you know if your SA can really give you what you want (color and leather) especially for a non-quota bag like ML?

Thanks for your input and Happy Holidays! ❤️

Yes, it is still quite difficult to get one from the store. For a brand new client, I would expect to spend $10k to $20k before a successful offer.

I am not sure about the US but I am sure that ML is a very popular bag and at this time you will have to develop a relationship with an SA . At our boutique you can be waiting over six months minimum..I don’t think that a round trip of 2 hours and dropping tons of money in one trip will necessarily get you the colour and choice you want. But miracles can always happen at H.

Thanks for the info!
Sounds like I do need to have $10k-20k worth of non-bag items that I wanna buy, otherwise it could be disappointing

At this point I think I’ll just stop by whenever I can but not expecting to get an offer like that… usually that’ll make the shopping experience more pleasant
