I bought a Speedy 30 earlier this year and returned it bc I thought it way too big. Since then I have thought lots about it and decided to try again with the 25. I bought it yesterday. It looked great in the store but now that I have it home it just feels too small. Should I get the 30 again?? I feel like a NUT!
Agonizing over Speedy! 30, then 25...now 30?

Get the 30 again! You probably just need to get used to it - you will love the extra room. The 30 is a beautiful classic bag!
I went through the same thing. I purchased the 30, thought it was too big, and gave it to my mom thinking that the 25 would suit me better. Then I tried out the 25 in a store, and thought it was cute, but thought it might be too small for daily use. They are both wonderful sizes, and they can be used for different occassions. I just decided that once I'm off my ban I'll get both the 25 and the 30, one in mono and one in damier!
I find the 30 which seemed large in the store was actually smaller in real life with all my things in it, now i wish i had gotten the 35 lol
30 is the perfect size for everyday carrying, but it does sag. weigh the pros and the cons. i say get the 30 because the 25 will always seem too small.
Try putting your stuff in the 25 and carry it around inside your house for a bit. It actually can hold a lot. I'm always suprised when I can fit everything I need into my Ceresis speedy 25, and I'm a BIG bag gal. I adore my Damier speedy 30, but if you found the 30 overwhelming this may actually be perfect if you give it a chance.
Just 2 months back, I was considering a speedy. I went through lots of pictures here on the 25 & 30. Just when I decided on 30(great size for holding lots & looks good when carried), they had to go OOS here. I waited for a couple of weeks then gave up. I will get it someday.
I now have both because I drove myself crazy debating between the 25 and the 30. Unless you need to carry magazines and such, I would say the 25 is large enough to carry everything you need. I can fit a spare pair of shoes, a water bottle, camera, lotion, tissue packet, wallet, keys, cell, scarf, a makeup pouch or two, and still have room for other little things. The 25 is small enough to be carried to dinner whereas I feel the 30 is too big to be a dinner back. Mostly, I like the 30 for days I just want to look chic, or as a carry on bag when traveling, long day trips where I wont be annoyed having to hand carry a bag, when I want to carry a magazine, when I want to carry a lot but don't feel like having to "arrange" my things so it fits (the larger opening helps). The 30 fits A LOT, I can fit 5 pairs of rolled up jeans. For all other occasions, I like the the 25.
I think my 25 actually holds quite a lot, and I was in the same situation as you are. After having both 25s and a 30, I actually prefer my 25s. My 30 is great for daytime shopping, though. My 25s just get more use. Why not both? hee hee!
