I can't decide between the two pattern. Most of the LV bags I own are in the mono print. I just LVoe that pattern and I feel like it is easier to wear. I am a very casual person - t shirts and jeans kinda gal but on occasion will dress up.

Normally it wouldn't be much of a question. I would get the mono but a part of me thinks I should venture out and change it up a little and get the Speedy in the DE. I just don't know if it would 'match' my outfits. I wear a lot of whites, black, gray, pink and purple. On weekends I live in my jeans or black exercise pants (when i'm out running errands). Also I have two little boys who are 1 and 3 so I'm thinking the DE would be more of a worry free bag were I wouldn't have to worry about the vachatta?

I guess to answer my own problem - get the DE and if I don't like it exchange for mono?

I would stick with mono. You seem to truly love that design and know it works great with your wardrobe. Just pre-treat the vacchetta and use one of your older bags when running around with your two little ones until the Speedy B has developed some patina and you'll be fine. Why mess with a good thing if you know it works for you!

To be honest, I've never treated any of my bags before

Any tips / recommendation?

I haven't either!
I know many members use Loving My Bags and Appleguard. There is an entre forum dedicated to pre-treating your new vacchetta: Cleaning/ Protecting Your LV FAQs
I have always felt if LV wanted the vacchetta to remain pristine they would have taken care of that during the manufacturing process. I love the patina and don't mind the occasional spot - it'll all even out in the end!

I have 4 bags all Mono . Im thinking of getting something DE for a change .

Since you have a lot of Mono already, why not try the DE print? It is fuss free, and no vachetta to worry of :)

I would say DE since you have other mono bags, but Speedy B is very pretty in mono

Maybe see both in person and see which one attracts you more? they're both gorgeous, gl
