Unpopular opinion:

I desperately want to love the mini lindy. It looks very cute, but it just doesn’t carry well. Of all the photos I see of people carrying it, none of them screams chic and it’s as if it’s not meant to be worn. It’s a box that protrudes from the widest part of you. The ‘ears’ look very awkward. It probably doesn’t help I’m petite and the strap is not adjustable. I might change my mind when i get to see one in person though.

Even my husband commented that he does not like mine as the proportions are off. I would tend to agree - it's a little awkward, and the strap is way too thick for the size of the bag. I find it hard to get in and out of, too, TBH.

Hermes granting iconic bag offers to social media bloggers who barely spend coz they know these bloggers can help promote their brand more by making us regular customers ‘beg’ for our dream bag and tempt us to spend a lot more on other items to hit our quota spend. I guess it’s just another strategy ‍♀️

Not a fan of using necklace chains and twillons to turn a kelly / Constance wallet, kelly pochette, b25 into a shoulder or sling ‘mini bag’. If you want something with a strap, get a woc/bag that has been designed for it. I understand it is hard to acquire some of these more popular iconic bags e.g Kellys and mini Constances but equally trying to compromise and settle for something that isn’t exactly what you want is also not satisfying.

Umm and adding a ’handle’ on mini c isn’t my cup of tea. Looks cute sometimes if set up proportionally but I feel for the leather strap.. I guess the strap is a bit long for some people?

Totally agree with your first point here. In the last month I've seen 2 influencers post YouTube videos about their new quota bags they were offered with nearly zero spend or store history. One of them even mentioned that one of the SA's mentioned to her that he loved her videos so they obviously knew who she was.

I don't think Hermes "GIVES" away bags to influencers... but I have seen several influencers recently mention that they suspect their influencer status may have helped them get an offer very quickly with nearly zero spend.

Yup. Seen TWO influencers in the last few weeks post YouTube videos about their new Kelly that they got with nearly zero spend. One even said the SA recognized her and told her he loved her videos.

They might 'speed up' reception of highly coveted bags. We have insane waiting list for Mini Kelly (was told by a SA who is a friend to not even bother). The influencer lady who is an official local Hermes ambassador got a craie one. Good for her as she's really cool and classy but I even remember I was in store when she ordered her B30 (not MK) and MK arrived out of the blue not long after.
