Hi,

I just received my new speedy b 30 in DE after ordering over the phone last week. I can’t find the date code in it. It’s not under the flap or stamped onto any of the other leather pieces. I also noticed that the DE handles and strap are not as shiny as they used to be - I’ve had this bag previously in a 35 before I decided it was too big. I also compared the handles to the DE luggage tag I have and they don’t match.

Has production changed since I made my last DE purchase several years ago? has anyone else ever received a bag with no date code? I’m wondering if supply issues has something to do with it. Anyway, I like the bag, I’m just curious. I don’t have a store in my state so ordering online or via phone are my only options.
