For anyone who can’t stomach the Birkin waitlist, the Lindy and Picotin are the smart plays. I’m torn between a Lindy 26 and a Picotin 18 as my first Hermes. 👜
| Bag | Carry | Formality | Value retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lindy 26 | Hand / shoulder / crossbody | Sophisticated | Excellent |
| Picotin 18 | Hand / arm | Casual | Very good |

I’m leaning Lindy 26 in Togo because I want one bag that goes from office to dinner. But the Picotin’s charm is real. Lindy owners — how does it feel all day? And does the strap make it worth it? 🧡
