I am liking the azure speedy as well but only for spring and summer. I have a damier and mono speedy and I wouldn't wear my damier one past May personally, too dark w/ that brown leather trim. I would love to get an azure speedy as well, but I can't spend that kind of money personally on a bag that will only be worn May through Aug., that's only 4 mos. I'd rather get a red or mandarin epi speedy as my all year summery bag as well. how about either or those?
