Help.. speedy hardware issue !
- Thread starter S.m.h
- Start date
I am looking at my Speedy B25 purchased a few years ago and the hardware is still shiny. The lock and key that they provide with this bag is poor quality compared to my Alma PM and will tarnish and scratch very easily. I know this because I was very careful in carrying this bag and was shocked how easily it tarnished and scratched up. You will notice when you attach the strap to the hardware (on the side of the bag) that it will scratch up, no avoiding this. However, I do love this bag as it holds a ton. I would exchange it and pick the best one to take home.
Oh I would return that ASAP! That bag looks used in my opinion, likely a return then resold to you. Hardware that beat up on a new bag and a tarnished lock? No ma'am. Return.
There’s already a thread on this.

That is not acceptable...take it back! I read the previous thread, but didn't find out how this would happen. I don't want to believe that LV would re-sell a used return like this!
Though the hardware will eventually be prone to this wear, there is absolutely no reason for a brand new bag to look like that. I would definitely get it exchanged.
When I purchased my DE speedy 25 the lock tarnished rather quickly. But it was shiny when I took it from the store. It does look like your bag was used, then returned. Hopefully there is another one you can swap out for this one. You are spending a lot of money so you should receive a brand new bag...not one that was returned and restocked!
I'm wondering if they are using a different source for hardware. There shouldn't be tarnish spots after a week. That being said, it will tarnish and get scratched when you use the strap, or hang bag charms from your loops/handles. Its just the way it is. Every year I'll get out Brasso and polish up the hardware and zipper, the scratches minimize and the hardware is back to it's shiny state.
I’m having an issue with hardware too. I just bought this bag. Online. Everything is fine except the brass square hardware is crooked. As you can see. It doesn’t lay right. Should I wait and see if the Vachetta softens and it will adjust itself. Or return it. I’m new to the forum. This is my first message. I apologize.
