Hi I'm new here! I came across this mini speedy on a pre-loved website. I think it's soooo cute! But I want to know if this ever exited before because I googled it and was not able to find another one. I know it had different prints but don't know if Damier was one of the options. The date code on it was TH1110

Mini HL in Damier Ebene would have been a Special Order piece.

Weren't special orders no longer available by 2010?

I can't honestly recall when they disappeared for good. They were hard to get agreed for a while (depending on how well known you were to LV!) before they disappeared completely so this might be from that era. An authentication would be in order to be on the safe side I feel. Might also be a mistyped datecode as a 2000 piece would be more likely for the Mini HL.

I miss being able to place Special Orders. I still have a few but got rid of a couple too (DE Montsouris GM for example, should have kept that one!)

That would make more sense. I was uneasy about the date code. I have never placed an SO because I thought they often looked odd... but now I regret it! Lol

Oh Fab! My Epi Mini Looping is offended!! But I agree, some of them don't look right. I couldn't cope with the Amazon in DE; that always looked odd to me!

Anyway, back to topic. OP - an authentication would be recommended. And a double check on the datecode. Hope that helps.

HAHA don't get me wrong: some of them look great! Especially Épi SOs. The one that I find most monstrous is the Broadway in the mono version. It looks so bizarre for some reason!

Thank you so much for the informative reply!
I did mistyped the date code. But the days are the same. Just the letters are different. It's TR1110
I will try to do the authentication on here. I really hope it's a special order. I think it's so cute if it's real. Do special orders have a way to tell they are SO?

Some have a very different date code format but otherwise no. Other than that they weren't made in that material so they're not that common.

Usually special order bags have a date code with three letters: AAS
