Good luck! I also tried Fashiophile and eBay, and decided the eBay route when selling my original speedy 25. That was a little scary because the girl that bought it had no feedback scores. But the reason I opted to sell on eBay was just to squeeze out a few dollars more. ;)

I thought about selling on eBay but I personally just don't feel comfortable doing that right now. Knowing my luck something would go wrong, haha! I know of a great consignment shop in my area and I've spoken to the owner before, she was so pleasant. Hopefully that'll work out for me if Fashionphile & Yoogi's doesn't!

Good Luck! I sold my Speedy B30 Mono few months ago, didnt regret it, it was too big for my liking. I end up got my Speedy B25 and I love this size for long shoulder/crossbody style more!

Excited for you!
Time to fund for your new love!! I enjoy so much doing research and trying new bags in the store before I make up my mind everytimes.

Thank you!

I think I'm a little turned off by the Speedy B at the moment to get another one in a different size. Maybe in the future if I miss it I'll get a 25 :)

I may be a minority here as I still love my speedy b 25 after more than a year of usage, it's my most used LV and I carry it crossbody :) I find the speedy 30 size is better for classic handheld.

I think the Noe bb is cute but cumbersome to open and close. It's like te speedy B too bulky too wear as a crossbody bag. I have the petit Noe in epi leather.
I've thought about the speedy B but ended up buying the classic speedy Ebene 25 because it truly looks better handheld. But I've got the men's bag the Mick in pm size to compromise the lack of having a good comfortable crossbody bag. I've sold two speedy 30. It is a learning proces. Good luck

This is sad to hear as i am thinking of getting the mono speedy 30 in a few weeks. Did any other bags catch your eye. Vernis, Epi, Empreiente ?

Well, it depends if you want to have a causal bag or a more formal one. For quality wise, I think Epi and Empreiente are better. But I was looking for a causal bag, otherwise, I would consider Epi and Empreient.

You should go to store and try it on, maybe you will love it anyways. I am probably just too picky,

Good luck.

I don't think it would crazy to do that, as long as you know for a fact that the 25 is what you want. You know, try it out in person and compare it with the 30 to be 100%.

Not at all but make sure you are sure about that. Go in and see them up close and personal.

When I bought the 30 last year, I did try the 25 on and really liked it, but the SA told me that most people buy the 30 and because I was so tall, the 30 looked better on me. I really need to stop listening to other peoples advice and go with my gut feeling!

I am so happy that I am not alone with my problem with the speedy b. It was exactly as many of you did mentioned. At first big love, but...... After a while I didn't like it any more. The most think I dont like are the straps. I dont undestand why there are two parts, they are hurting very much on the shoulder. I am also thinking of selling it.

I think mainly these "issues" are with the B30. It seems like more people are happier with their B25 than the 30. I agree that the 30 seems better as classic handheld just because of the way the middle caves in when carried with the longer strap.

There's actually a way around the opening/closing of the Noe line if you tie the string a certain way! There's a few videos floating around on YouTube & Instagram or I know that a lot of SA's also know this as well. I don't plan on using the Noe BB as a crossbody and I don't mind the bulkiness as I'm already used to that from having my Speedy B. I just bought a preloved Epi Petit Noe as well! I don't know what it is about the Noes... I just love them for some reason. I've been in love with the mono Noe BB since I first laid eyes on it, haha. Also, I was going to purchase a bandeau to use instead of the leather tie... but we shall see! I'm going to see how the Epi Petit works out for me and go from there.

I would say go try on the 25 again - like really truly try it on. Put your daily essentials in it and see how it feels, etc. If you are still in love with it, I would totally get it :) I plan on doing just that with the Noe BB later when it comes time to buy it! And I agree, go with your gut feeling!

Yeah... even the vachetta strap hurts my shoulder. I took mine out again yesterday for a quick grocery shopping trip and it just wasn't very comfortable on my shoulder. The more I wear mine, the more I don't like it! I have my fingers crossed for good quotes from Fashionphile and Yoogi's....

Did anyone notice too that the buckle dug into their collarbone in the front when wearing crossbody? The pain was excruciating at times that I'd put my finger underneath there at times just to relieve the pressure..thoughts?

It bothers my collarbone IF I have it crossbody but I don't wear it that way. I carry it on my shoulder at all times and my vachetta strap digs into my shoulder 😩
