Okay so I am planning to purchase my first LV handbag, a Damier Ebene Speedy 30. I have been hesitating for a while because I don't want to impulse purchase and I have some questions about it that I think you lovely TPF users can help with.
1. I have heard things about quality going down with LV's products in recent years. Are Speedys still worth the investment?
2. The price increases are getting a bit absurd IMO. I was looking at Speedys at the top of the year, then decided I would revisit the purchase once the weather broke (since it was such a rough winter weather-wise). With the price increases I'm not sure if I want to spend $1K on a CANVAS bag. Agree/disagree? Are other styles a better choice to consider?
3. I've considered getting the Speedy B in DE because although I LOVE top handles, it would be nice to have the strap option once in a while. Thoughts on springing for the Speedy B as opposed to the Speedy? It's not the price itself that bothers me, but more that the price increase to purchase a Speedy B seems a bit inflated when the only real difference is adding a strap -- unless I'm missing some other feature(s) of the Speedy B. Would love to hear from people who were on the fence as well and/or own both.
Ahh, thanks for your help in advance! Like I said, this would be my first Louis bag, so I'd love to hear the opinions of you devoted LV customers
