Still waiting patiently for my SA to call me...sigh...I dunno what number I'm in line so probably not gonna get a call until a while! Since that store gets very limited pieces...maybe I'll call and bug them tomorrow!!

yay, that's what I'll do!!!

Maybe I should change my name to LvStalker

You are the LVStalker and I am the hopeless Detective! LOL! You'll change your name and I've changed my voice so many times just to get an info about the WC in Brown.

I know I might get banned from all the SCP Boutiques soon!

I, too am Asian and petite, and I found out a couple of weeks ago from my SA that we'll be getting the 35 here in Vancouver. I turned it down again, as I did the white WC Speedy 35. It's just too big!

Tomorrow is the day ladies, let's hope for the best.

Just got this news today and my whole weekend is ruined because LV won't sell the 30 speedy to the US except to Hawaii and Asian Countries only. I, being an asian, just doesn't look good in 35. My poor american husband just patiently listened to me rant about US not getting the 30. He insisted buying me another handbag to cheer me up but still doesn't make me feel any better. I told my husband that all I want is a firebird and a WC speedy 30 and US just don't have it.

I'm sorry this happened to you, that really is sad. I hope the best for you in your next bag with whatever one you decide to go with.
I'm 5'3" and petite framed too (mama is japanese, tiny) and papa is spanish. If this consoles you, I always wear heels, wedges, hardly flats and this seems to help. I love big bags though and usually tote them around. IMO petite chicks look hot with large bags...but that's just me and I know that a lot of girls aren't comfy with that look or structure. Plus because the Speedy 35 is unstructured, I understand. I wish you well.

I know, C!

I was wondering how big the 35 would be... would be so pretty and stunning to use as a weekender bag only.

A., I think you should not buy it in the 35 and use it as a weekender bag, waste of $$. Rather get it off from Ebay (if you prefer to get it new) and pay a little more but you will make good use of it. I think that is money well spent. I bet you'll look so HOT in the 30. That is just my humble opinion.

Thanks C! DesigningStyle said the same thing. This is an excellent advice.

I really appreciate it.

We have the same dilemma on the 30. Hope you get a way to get yours brand new.

I am the same height as you are but is s much bigger width wise . I got the white WC35 and it looked like a luggage on me. I returned it and is so happy with my decision. I have the 30 and I love it to death. U are the Ebay expert so you shouldnt have any trouble getting one (just wait a few weeks after the launch date, you'll find one that is not too ridiculously overpriced). I live by the rule, if I am going to spend more than 1K for a bag, i better LOVE it and make good use of my $.

Give it a good thought A.

I know, excellent point there, C! Thank you so much!

How frustrating for you.

I adore the 35 size and all big bags in general, but I'm 5'7" and probably wouldn't carry such a size were I shorter. Even with the Neverfull GM I tried on it's still ridiculously big on me (but I do ridiculous, lol).

Perhaps some kind soul in Hawaii or Asia somewhere could grab one for you? I hope you find the one you're longing for.

swalk · Jul 12th, 2008, 11:06 AM

Awww... I was hoping for 30 too.. I'm only 5"4...

Do you know where in Asia (other than Japan) will get 30?

I called my store today (12th...), still NOT ARRIVED yet.. not even 35 :(

Hawaii and asian countries for 30 only. Hawaii will not do phone order or ship to US. They require in person with ID. US is 35

PurseNut911 · Jul 12th, 2008, 07:11 PM

I hear ya about the unfairness of not being able to buy the 30 size in either color. I refuse to buy one off e-Bay at a markup.

I bought the white WC 35 thinking I would get used to this size, but since I am petite, this bag is too overwhelming. I've sold it already! I hope LV offers a WC size 30 in the near future to make us happy here!!

swalk · Jul 12th, 2008, 07:19 PM

Do you know which asian country?

I'm going to Beijing for the Olympics, and dropping by HongKong, Thailand, and Singapore before heading back....

Since they are not Japan, I doubt I can pick up a 30 in my trip ><

Have you gone to boutique to see the bag yet?

Keep us posted!
