I've always wanted a Damier Speedy and convinced myself that I needed something other than my Coach bags. My Coach bags are all on the large side, I tend to like larger bags in general.
First question is regarding size. Speedy 25 is out of the question, but it seems like a toss up between the 30 and 35. I am 5'6", and I didn't want to end up with something that looked too small. No problems always carrying it in my hand or the crook of my arm, if I wanted crossbody or shoulder wear I would just use one of my Coach Isabelles. I like the proportions on the 30 between the length and the handle size, the 35 seems a tad too wide for the handle size but that's hard to judge from a picture. Which do you prefer? I plan on carrying a full size iPad in an Apple Smart Cover, zippy accordion wallet, makeup pouch, glasses case, and iPod zippy case full time.
Next question is, do you prefer Ebene or Azur? I Initially preferred the Azur but started worrying about color transfer, yellowing over time, and protecting the vachetta from our Nebraska rain/snow. I think the Azur is gorgeous but.. not as practical as the Ebene? Ebene looks like it would be great year round and seems lower maintenance? Opinions welcome!
Next question is, living in Nebraska, there isn't a store around here that I would be able to purchase from. Have you ever ordered from louisvuitton.com, if so, how has your experience been?
Edit: I'm leading toward the Speedy 35 in Ebene.
