Input needed - my first LV purchase

[erinleigh]

Hi all,

I think I've read *every* thread there is and watched every youtube video on the planet, but am still hoping for some help in making my first LV purchase

I've decided 100% on a speedy bandouliere in damier ebene, but I'm back and forth on the size between the 30 and 35. I don't carry a ton, but I'm 5'10", 170 lbs, so am mostly concerned about getting something that fits my frame. Unfortunately there are no LVs near me, so I'm having to order online and hope for the best! I'm leaning towards the 35 because I think the 30 might look too small, but please let me know your thoughts

I'm also hoping for some suggestions on a bag organizer. I'm looking to find something relatively lightweight that will give a little bit of structure, but still give some sag to the bag.

Thanks!

I think 30 is the perfect size, 35 is too big IMHO.

I have a 35 and it's too big.

The 30 would be and look perfect for you!!

Agree that 30 would be best and PurseBling on line has great base shapers. I have one for each of my 4 Speedys. You will love your new bag! Enjoy!

The 30 would be perfect. 35 is huge!

I was trying to decide between the 25 and 30 in the SpeedyB, then when I went to the store, it was immediately clear to me that the 30 was too big (I'm 5' 7"), so I think 30 would be perfect for you. In my opinion, 35 would be too large for an everyday bag.

The 30 will look fine on you, I would only go with the 35 if you carry a LOT.

Good bag choice for your first LV!

I have this organizer in a size medium for my Speedy 30:

Thanks everyone! It's so tough to tell from the photos online, so I appreciate all the opinions... seems like 30 is the crowd favourite

Yes, it's a GREAT size and you can fit a good amount of items if needed.

SUCH a versatile bag!!

Yes, go with the 30! It fits everything you could possibly need.

i'm 5'10 and 130, and i went with the 25 since i have a smaller frame. i think with your height/weight combo the 30 would be the best choice. it's smart to consider your frame when buying

I love my 30. I'm short but it still works for me. Lol.

Well, it depends on what you carry in your purse on a regular basis. I'm 5 ft 7 in and weight 170 and I thought the same you did. But I was fortunate enough to go into an LV boutique on vaca and try them on. When I compared the 30 to the 35 I knew the 35 would be too much bag for me. I carry a full sized wallet, my iPhone, a small cosmetic case, my sunnies in their case, an LV toiletry 19 and an LV 6 key holder. With all that I could still stuff anything extra in it with plenty of room. Hope this helps!!!
