The History of the Hermès Lindy Bag:
The bag was made to be comfortable and flexible, it was named after the famous American dancer from the 1920s known as the Lindy Hop. Its parallel handles allow it to rest comfortably on the wearer, and its optional shoulder strap gives it more carrying options. The center of the bag droops as a result of the handle placement. Two outside pockets are located on either end of this purse, and two zip closures are located on top. A clou de selle touret lock closure holds the Lindy in place.
