Default Joy Boston or Azur Speedy? Need Help...

Hi Ladies :)

I was wondering if you girls can give me some input... I already pre-saled the Wave Hobo in white trim, and a Guccissima Abbey in powder? (kind of an off white color) But I been debating rather should I get the Joy Boston in Black & White (Medium Size) for $399 CAD. I am thinking should I forget the Boston and go for the LV Damier Azur Speedy 30... I already have the Mini Lin Speedy 30 in Dune though... but I just thought the Joy Boston and the Damier Speedy is a good summer bag, and they are not too expensive. Btw I am 5'2.5" about 115lbs, I am a casual girl not too dressy. T-shirt and Jeans kind of girl :)

Thanks in advance!! :)

Hi Kar126,

I Just purchased the Joy Boston bag as well at the Gucci store in white and black trim. If you are debating between that bag and the LV Damier Azur Speedy, then I would go for the Joy Boston bag because you already own the LV Mini Lin Speedy 30, plus I think the Joy Boston bag in white and black trim would be a nice bag for the summer and beginning of Fall. Plus, the Joy Boston bag is on sale for 399 and that is a really good price. I have been told that the handle of the Damier Azur Speedy will change colour over time to a darker beige/brown kinda colour....so there will be a big contrast difference of the handle of the bag and the bag itself.

Hope this helps :)

Thanks for you advice. I was wondering if it has a sag problem? And how do you match the joy with your outfits? :) I was just trying to imagine how should I carry this bag... thanks

Azur all the way (although I don't like patina)

hee, i also purchased the gucci medium joy boston bag with the green handles/stripes today from the presale!
but if i had the extra $300, i would've gone with the azur! i also have the speedy 35 (the biggest one), but i definitely wouldn't mind having another speedy(s) in different designs, if i had the money!

I like the Azur better than the Joy Boston!

Thanks girls for you opinions! I decided to go for the Joy because there are SO MANY azur speedies in where I live!.... Also I don't think I will be the type of girl that will be able to take good care of the azur handles (It won't patina nicely if I were to use it as a summer bag to the beach and stuff) I think the Joy is easier to maintain, more unique and not as many people has it yet. Anyways thank you girls! :)

Good choice! I had the azur and sold it......it was so plain in my opinion. The Joy is much cuter with the stripes. At least it has something going on......believe me, I'm a total LV lover, so it's nothing to do with LV. The azur is just BORING!
