Hermès Lindy Bags

The Hermès Lindy bag is a dramatic departure from the more structured Hermès bags. In fact, the Hermès Lindy is entirely new in the world of fashion handbags. With the Lindy bag, the rolled handles are placed at the ends of the handbag so that when worn over the forearm, the bag is parallel to your arm for a more natural and comfortable position.

Prized for its versatility, the Lindy can be carried by hand, over the forearm, or by the adjustable shoulder strap that is attached to the rolled handles. The look is decidedly relaxed. First released in the spring of 2006, the Hermès Lindy took the fashion world by storm, gaining tremendous popularity with young executives and busy mothers.

The Hermès Lindy’s unique style gives it two entirely different looks, depending upon how you carry it. Carried in the hand, the bag slouches into the center, folding nearly in half for a carefree, casual appeal. However, when worn over the shoulder, the Lindy bag holds its shape and flaunts its unusual design. The bag features dual zipper pulls, a twist latch, five metal feet to protect the bottom, and roomy pockets, two interior and two exterior.

Originally, the Hermès Lindy was released in four sizes, from daily tote to travel bag size, measuring 26cm, 30cm, 34cm, and 45cm. An immediate success, the Lindy bag became a sensation with the release of the 20cm Mini Lindy with its crossbody strap in 2019. Demand for this petite Lindy bag has been overwhelming.
