Is the Lindy 26 big enough for everyday use?

It fits a phone, small wallet, keys, sunglasses and a compact pouch. It will not hold a laptop or A4 documents. Most owners treat it as a day bag, not a work tote.

How does the Lindy differ from a Kelly or Birkin?

The Lindy is soft-sided and meant to be carried on the shoulder or by short top handles. The Kelly and Birkin are structured hand-carry bags with a flap and turn-lock. The Lindy is more casual and easier to wear daily.

Does Clemence leather scratch easily?

Clemence is grained and fairly forgiving, but it scuffs at the corners and softens with use. Light marks often blend into the grain; deeper scuffs need professional care.

Can the shoulder strap be removed?

Yes. The Lindy has a detachable strap, so it can be carried by the top handles alone. The strap attaches at the sides and adjusts for shoulder or crossbody wear.

What comes with the bag?

A full set typically includes the bag, detachable strap, clochette with lock and keys, rain cover and the orange box. Confirm the included items before buying, since pre-owned examples vary.

Is the 26 the right size, or should I look at the 30?

The 26 suits smaller frames and light daily carry. The 30 holds more, including a small tablet, but looks bulkier on the shoulder. Try the 26 first if you want a bag that stays close to the body.
