Interesting detail about early 1990's speedy 25's

[bellacherie]

While having my speedy 25 authenticated, the issue was raised that the monogram alignment on the bag was not normal.

I have done some research and discovered that speedys 25s made during the 1990's (early to mid) have this same monogram placement.

I'm not sure if it is limited to, but it appears these speedy's were made in USA.



Here are some pics of what I mean -

I noticed that issue. It's good to know! crjhht - the LV's on a 25 should be at the top and the bottom but as you can see the LV's are actually in the middle and bottom instead.

ooooooooooh I see! Thanks for explaining it!

Sorry I should have posted a link to how they normally are.

Here is a link to the standard alignment (see side view)

I have a speedy 25 that has the lv's placed lower on the sides, (Ref first pic's above)... Mine is made in U.S.A date stamp - SD0062, (Have no idea what age my bag is)....
