Good for you @daisy913. I'm glad you mentioned to the manager about what the SA said to you about reselling and making a profit. That was completely inappropriate and out of line. Definitely didn't want to lose their commission obviously. Glad you returned too!
This was my first time to make a return to LV, so I was really nervous. I returned it on day 26 out of 30, and the bag was damaged.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone at LV claimed I used the bag, especially when the bag was brought out under store lighting. There were flaws that I had no idea existed, since they never showed up under my lighting or under daylight light through a window. Part of the zippered opening was actually a little worn and uneven with white splotches on what should have been black leather and black edging.

The manager, at first, offered to have repairs look at the bag. It was the pull tab that had the damaged leather, so if they had spare parts, it is something that could be replaced fairly easily. But instead, he came back saying he would process it as a return since he didn’t want to “sell” a bag that was as damaged as mine. I’m gonna guess repairs took one look and refused to work on it once they saw the condition.

Bought in March, but finally arrived today! Can't get enough of this *NEON YELLOW*
Tried the strap with my other brass colored hardware... and I might just have to get the black Coussin MM with silver hardware this fall :lol: also, like men's straps are so much longer and fit better around the *ladies*! Need to find more straps lol

My last contribution to this thread - hopefully any luxury purchase thread - for a while. I have wanted a Keepall 25 for a while and this one has only grown on me since I first saw it, but I put it out of my mind as I knew I’d be spending on Loewe’s last Ghibli collection and LV’s Kusama items. And when a Keepall 25 with the Kusama pumpkin print appeared I thought I was all set. However, I didn’t like it in person, went for the NeoNoé instead … but still wanted a Keepall 25. :lol:

There isn’t much availability left but the CA helping me when I picked up my Kusama stuff in London ordered it from Paris with a delivery time of a few weeks. It actually arrived at the London store in a week, she checked it over for me, sent it off early evening on Tuesday and it arrived just after 10am on Wednesday! I’m returning to Hong Kong on Saturday so I’d been thinking I’d have to wait months to get my hands on it.

Quality looks good and as expected it’s basically the perfect size for a crossbody for me. And it’s colourful but fairly subtle for my wardrobe, hehe. Debating whether I keep the luggage tag on it or not.
 
Oh… I did a thing! :nuts:
Just ordered the new DE Speedy B 25 with the braided strap. Very excited until the package arrives :panic:

I think the new DE braided collection dont get that much interest here in TPF or am I wrong? Seems lots of people are not too crazy about it…:rolleyes:

So I will give it a try and see her in person!

Hello bag twin-to-be!!!

I also had the same thoughts that it wasn’t so popular out there, on TPF and on IG, I only came across one person who tried it out in the shop but did not purchase.

I had use it for about 3-4 weeks now. The strap is exactly the same length as sporty speedy 20 mono (unadjustable woven strap). The strap is the most comfortable leather strap that I owned.
However, this braided 25 strap allows the bag to sit lower as it hooks at the top of the bag instead of speedy 20, it hooks at the mid-ish of the bag.

I hope you love it like I do! Share your pictures too!!

Oh hello my dear bag twin!! :loveeyes:
So happy to read your post and that Im not alone with my choice :blush:
That sounds great, I like it when the bag sits a bit lower. And from the descriped measurements I assume it should fit me very well. I have adjusted the strap of my regular Speedy B 25 exact the same length :idea:
Cant wait to get it :nuts:
Should arrive on Monday, of course Im gonna share pics then :tup:
