I've been looking at a lot of LV Speedy's on Ebay, and am confused about what color the handles should be if the bag/handles are brand new. I've read a bit about the natural "tanning" process that occurs, but some of the bags on Ebay have really light handles. Is this a sign of a fake?

I apologize in advance if I've posted this is the wrong place, or if this was already written about somewhere else (I did do a search). I really want to purchase an authentic bag, and appreciate any help you might provide. :smile:
 
I loooove new Speedy handles!!! The first pic was the day I got her, the second pic was a week later after being carried a few times. I hope the patina is a sloooow process!

Thanks, BrunetteTiger! That bag is beautiful!

Is there anywhere on TPF that lists what to look for to determine if a Speedy is authentic? Soooo scared of buying a fake....

Your best bet is to find an auction(s) on ebay that you are interested in and post the links in this thread:

And our "experts" will help you and tell you if it is fake or not. And they are very good!

Good luck!


I loved the new pale handles when I got my Speedy but since I have been carrying it it's still pale but dirty! And I have tried wipes and magic eraser but IDK it still looks eh to me.

LOL... I wash my hands too!!!!
