Just for scale here is a pic of my tape measure in front of my toaster oven.
As you can see, 40 cm is way longer. Depth and height are about the same.
If you want luggage, I would keep me eyes peeled for a Keepall as they are really meant for short trips. IMG_1481475641.041585.jpg

Forgot to tell you, ladies!
Yesterday, I walked past a shop with a few used bags on display.
In fact, there was an auction sale in the afternoon.
I had seen a 40 cm LV Speedy in excellent condition.:smile:
I asked a friend to attend the auction with me.
Long story short, my friend had to leave maybe fifteen minutes before "my" bag's turn...:nuts:
The organizer of the sale said
" We have an Internet offer on his bag. €170!
Anyone here interested? €180?"
I had a sort of panick attack. Much too shy..... to say "Me":tdown::tdown:
I didn't say anything.... The person on the Internet got it for €170!:frown:
I was devastated. Angry with myself.... and with my friend who is used to auction sales and would have bid for me....:oh:
See how childish I am?:sad::sad:

Hehehe. Yes, I have posted that bag at least once before today - but, I have so many bags it is hard to remember them all (I cannot remember them all!) [emoji3]

I [emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️ that Minelli. It is always so nice to see it again. [emoji4]

Hmmmmm. I do understand that you are disappointed. But, maybe that Speedy just was not meant to be? Sometimes we are more in love with the price tag than the actual bag. [emoji8]

I know--that red tone!:hbeat:
Unfortunately, my cut-rate ninja squad is moody today.
And having grumpy naps with their teddy bears

Maybe next week, they'll leap into action...:rolleyes:

Thoughts of the postina will soothe your thoughts.:coolio:

I found bag I like on poshmark.
But am too alarmed to buy.
Especially after reading tpf poshmark reviews.:whut:
Tragic.

Lazy ninjas.
Maybe you are feeding them too much Christmas Kugel?
Posh mark doesn't seem to have enough staff to determine real from fake, or seem to care much.
Sad.

I really wanted the 40cm too! It only makes sense to get the biggest one you can afford. It was just such an awkward size.
You will find the perfect one for you I am sure!!!!!
For 20+ years I wanted a Speedy. When I finally got one I was disappointed. The handles were too small for a mature woman and the zipper was scratchy.
So I swapped it out for a Delightful which suits my lifestyle better and have been happy ever since!
I hope the same thing happens to you!!!

True. I was happy to be able to find a bag that works for me!
I always loved the logo print and sold off most of my bag collection to afford one.
I discovered after several trips to the boutique that most LV bags just aren't for me.
Too big, too small, straps too narrow, etc.
so I have the Delightful (hobo) which I still had to buy a long strap for and the Totally which is a tote.
Then I moved on to other brands. Which sometimes works out, though lately I have had a run of lemons.
Not giving up. Still on the hunt for the "perfect" one.

I do like the Siena and the Tourenne a lot. I saw a T in action on the Christmas Market on Friday. I like to see the Mono - on others. I am not sure, if I would feel comfortable with LV on my shoulder.
Have you used your 2 bags lately?
Hehehe. We all hunt for the perfect bag... I have the feeling that we will never find it, though... [emoji6]

I have an old Speedy. 30 cm. I find it a little small . Maybe a 35 would be better...:confused1:
The Delightful is a great bag! :smile::heart:

I have had my Del out recently. Things are mostly calm here so it's safer.
It's been bitterly cold due to a Polar Vortex so back in the closet she goes til it warms up to normal temps.
