The Speedy is a pretty casual, unstructured bag that develops a sag so I am thinking that the Mono pattern goes better with it than a Damier pattern would. IMO the Damier pattern looks best on structured bags like Ribera and Belem.

Am I alone in thinking this way? :oh:

I know what you mean. Is the damier a thicker harder leather? Will it keep its shape better than the mono speedy does?

I spoke to a LV SA about the material. She seemed new so could not be entirely correct, but she said that the Damier material is different than the Mono. The Damier's canvas has a waterproof coat on it and that it would not sag as much as the Mono Speedy.

I Love My Damier Ribera...I Personally Do Not Want The Speedy Right Now. But, I Definitely Would Like To See It IRL...I May Change My Mind!

I love to see IRL before buying it. My DH think it will be sweet after he saw the catalogue. I can't wait till June for damier and also I can't wait for August for Black and brown mini speedy.

I'm totally agreeing with you until I see it IRL. I love a little sag!

I really want to see it in person to make sure I don't like it better than the mono. I think I like both but I am leaning towards mono lately. DH likes mono more than Damier. He agreed that it is a casual bag and the mono looks more casual. :amuse:

I have a speedy 25 cerise and a speedy 30 in damier. The damier leather is so much thinner therefor sagging alot more. It's definately not attractive at all. It has to be pretty full not to sag at all. The monogram seems to have a stronger hold.

I actually have mine on ebay.

Definately looking to buy the 25 instead.

So you special ordered the Damier Speedy 30 and didn't like it cuz of the major sagging? Are saying the major sagging doesn't look good since its Damier pattern?

Looks nice in your auction :yes:

Did you stuff your damier when you take the pics? It seems nice and hold very well. Good luck with the sale, I hope you can sell it before June.

I am getting the same impression everytime I look at pics of the damier speedy then back at the mono speedy. The mono seems a lot more casual whereas the damier would look great if you were really dressed up. As for dressing down, the damier doesn't seem to go with as much stuff.

I have been leaning towards mono too though.
