Congrats & enjoy! This is one gorgeous cutie!
Ok, so this was NOT on my radar. Not at all. I can even be quoted as saying, "they ruined a good bag" and "I'm glad I can sit this one out". I wasn't even in the market for a bag, waiting until next summer to consider a Speedy 25 B DA.
Hehe... Famous last words!
This bag kept popping up ATB quite a lot around Christmas. And that's when it started to haunt me. So I kept checking, and often it was ATB! So I did just that. And pulled the trigger. I figured like all the in-demand stuff the order will get canceled so not a big deal.
And then it shipped! And that is when I started daydreaming about it. How interesting you can go from not interested at all to being swept off your feet!

Wow... The color really pops! The canvas feels more substantial, and the microfiber lining is so lush!
Couldn't resist adding a charm.

I feel really lucky to have such a special piece! Yes, it was way higher than I reasonably would like to spend on a handbag but the uniqueness and construction is so much better. The zipper is like buttah! Now just waiting for some kind of opportunity to carry this beauty!
That Speedy DA will have to wait for some other day...
Thanks for letting me share
many congrats and enjoy!
Damier trio messenger, but I’m going to return or exchange it, because of the uneven colour on front of smaller pouch 
Mine just arrived yesterday. I haven’t even opened it yet but this worries me. I’ll check mine and let you know if it’s flimsy.
Thanks for the reply. Maybe I am being too harsh but for the price compared to things like the Vanity PM the quality is just not there for me. I also thought aesthetically it may be a bit more of a pop even in the black but it just seems blah... again I don't know... hoping for others opinions!
Thank you for pointing out this issue and informing members. A couple of months ago, I returned a Damier Graphite Key Pouch (N60155) because of similar discoloration that continued down most of the length of the pouch in a straight line. I did not take pictures of it. If I had easily been able to exchange it in a store, I would have (especially now considering the price increase), but I did not have faith to reorder it online and potentially have to return yet again. For reference, the key pouch was made in the USA, but I do not know the date code.
Good luck with your exchange/return decision!
You weren't asking, but I vote for the exchange because it's a very cool and versatile piece!
To be very honest with you, I would never spent such $$ for a backpack. Moreover, for me, a backpack is not elegant. You wear backpacks for hiking or traveling, but what can you actually for in this size? I would definitely return and get an elegant bag instead.
Thank you for this opinion! I am really struggling with price vs. quality.... I like the bag but I don't LOVE it you know?
I love empreinte leather, but in this model it looks really plastic and cheap (fake).
Completely agree after buying it and seeing it IRL... considering a trade for the New Chain Bag! Thank you so much!
Congratulations are in order. Is this the 25? Looks absolutely gorgeousOk, so this was NOT on my radar. Not at all.
