The Gucci x Adidas bowling ball bag and cap I picked up today. That’s my soulmate LV CA in the pic with the beige shirt on. It looked really good on him and he purchased it. I’m happy I have someone to shop with. :heart: View attachment 5421119
Aaaww! I would shop with you in a heartbeat, I have yet to find a fellow LV aficionado :love:! On the other hand, it would probably not end to well for our wallets!
 
Thanks for your input, it helped a lot :smile:! I decided to keep them for now, maybe replace the dirty handles at some point and wear them again! Also, I finally figured out how to multi quote :biggrin:!
My newest addition arrived today, folded like a cute dumpling :love: @bigverne28 they also do the new packaging for bags now! Ignore the ripped package, I am not of the patient sort :blush:

Woohooo CONGRATS ! :heart: :love: I was about to reply ur question thread , but now I saw this ! You wont regret it .... I have 4 Speedy (2 of them is B ) and I feel you .. I dont use any of the non B enough and been on a mend to let them go.. But everytime I put them for sale, 3 minutes later I took them down :biggrin::biggrin: Still have all 4 of them and although I cant justify enough to keep the non B, I just dont have the heart at all to sell them..I got too attached to them more than other styles :love: The B is way much better to navigate the world with small children ...

Yes, you‘re right! With kids (and smartphones in our hands) everything changes! Back then when I bought them (2004/2006 I think) I wasn‘t aware there was a model with a strap (or maybe it did not exist then). I have/had a lot of bags from back in the days but none of them are so sentimental to me as these two :love:! I took them everywhere, even for going out in the evenings! I generally don‘t get attached to new bags quite so much. I sold my first ever LV, a PA last year and immediately had regrets, only to rebuy it soon after!
What sizes/pattern are your Speedy Bs?
 
Just a bit of update of my Alma that I got last week … I decided to keep it as it is .. For now … Maybe after I passed my new vachetta phobia then she will off to repair :lol: I cleaned her bottom with ALOT of stuffs , and it was actually went very well..;)

The good thing is , I dont have the fear and anxiety as I have when I took the Noe out so this old lady is a keeper :love:FYI, now the Noe is out with MIL, she asked if she can borrow it coz she misses her.. Go for it ! But I warned her if she make some stain there, the next repair will be on her credit card :lol:

Now back to the Alma … Below is before and after I clean the bottom.. Not 100% yet , but I will re-do the conditioning next week;)

Looking great, love the patina! It looks like a bag straight from the Orient Express :love: ! When you had the Vachetta replaced on your Noe, was this a service they offered happily? I am a bit shy to ask about it, which is stupid given that I buy new stuff too…:blush:

I think the B only out around 2010 -ish ? Again, I know how you feel. Speedy's has also special place in my heart :heart: :heart: I have one B 25 in Mono and 35 in DE ... I added B25 only few years ago ( 2020 I think ) but the B35 is from 2014 :smile:

Hahaha , yes it did straight from the Orient Express :love: No no , purposely I went to the store just for handed her in , I was also abit ''embarassed'' when I handed the bag to them. The CA that I knew very well, immediately eased my worried and compliment my old Noe since its vintage, and the canvass holds very very well and she said she loves when ppl comes and asking for repair especially the oldies but goodies one .. If you have a good CA at the store, the go with them so no judgement will pass on ...

Congrats on the new speedy! I always wanted one in DE. Funny you should mention the multi quote. I only learned how to use it a few days ago. :lol:

Aaaww! I would shop with you in a heartbeat, I have yet to find a fellow LV aficionado :love:! On the other hand, it would probably not end to well for our wallets!
Thank you...I'd love to shop with you. Two shopaholics going shopping together would not be a good thing. :lol: We would enable each other to buy everything.
