After continuing my series of designer-inspired reviews, I’ve received such a demand for more Hermés! I’ve been wanting a bag that’s stylistically similar to the Hermés Lindy after seeing my friend Wynn of Wander X Luxe sport a real one (you go, girl). Lo and behold, here is my latest genuine leather Hermes Lindy-inspired bag for just $47.74!

Compared to Wynn’s 30cm Lindy, my 26 cm bag is a little smaller. See below image:
After purchasing my Hermes Birkin-inspired bag in a size that was too large for my preference, I chickened out on buying the larger 30cm size and bought the smaller 26cm. Unfortunately, it was too small for my taste. That’s what I get for being too lazy to measure… but hey! I can always buy another one of these in the bigger size and still spend less than 1/60th of the designer price.

- Perfect stitching
Cons

What I love about the Lindy the most is how different it is compared to other bags. Thanks to its unique shape, it can be carried over-the-shoulder on its flat shoulder strap or looped on your arm through the double handles. Get it in black, grey or tan and you can match an endless variety of outfits. If you want to make a more upscale statement, get it in the bold orange that the Hermés brand is known for.

The opening of this bag is extremely convenient. It has a top flap that can be left unzipped yet can still cover the opening of the bag, unlike other bags with a top opening that leaves all your belongings exposed to the elements. Even more convenient: there are two pockets on both sides of the bag that makes it perfect for your cell phone and cards, so you don’t have to go through the hassle of unzipping your bag and rummaging through your stuff to find it. I personally love being able to quickly slide my phone into that pocket when I’m running errands and have to use both hands for something.

I’ve been using this handbag for a little over 2 months now and it’s held up surprisingly well. Granted, other bags I get are always made of genuine leather or suede, so that could definitely be a factor in how well my bags have worn! Of course, there are several vegan-friendly options at the beginning and end of this blog post.
Most of the items I buy from Asia are usually shipped in plastic mailers and bubble wrap, but this bag was actually delivered in a cardboard box (yay!). I’m assuming that the shape of this bag called for a sturdy box that wouldn’t bend it out of shape.

Like most Aliexpress items this handbag also comes with free shipping, so expect delayed delivery times! It took about 3 weeks to arrive. But if waiting 3 weeks isn’t up your alley, Ainifeel on Amazon sells the same Hermés Lindy-inspired bag for $125 in the 30cm and in a variety of colors. You can get this bag in as little as two days with free Prime shipping!

The versatile design of the Hermés Lindy makes it perfect for a variety of outfits from casual to sporty and even elegant. Although it is beautiful, I just can’t fathom paying an upwards of $5,900 for it.
