Why Speedy?

It means timeless elegance to me because it is:

Classic & chic
Versatile
Roomy
Lightweight
Functional
Time and weather proof (yes, despite the vacchetta.. my 5-year Mono oldie just proved it today .. it was pouring with rain.. no stain!)

Whate else?

Speedy is THE ultimate bag..
 
just so iconic. i only have a damier azur speedy but my name is also down for a bordeaux speedy. i can't WAIT for it to come in. it is going to be my alternative to a regular mono speedy, which i am afraid if i purchased i just would not use since i have so many great bags already. so LE it is!
 
It's classic and I love the little lock! It just pulls it all together for me. It's not my all-time fave bag but it's definitely awesome and holds a ton while looking great.
 
I thought I would never buy a sppedy but I got the cerises speedy and now I am hooked. It is just such an iconic bag and I love handhelds. It holds everything I need and is timeless.
 
I have 3 and I would love to have more. I agree with everything that's already been said. Plus, it comes in so many great fabrics and patterns you can build a collection from many different lv lines.
