I LOVE the bag with the green handle!
Do you think it would be a comfortable bag as an everyday bag?

To me , the only cons about this Vertical Box Trunk is the zipper, if you are ok with opening and closing the zipper horizontally around the bag, then it should be comfortable as an everyday bag . It is easier to open/close as compared to Vanity PM and maybe Cannes. @LVlvoe_bug just received hers and she has no problem with the zipper .
I like its special monogram pattern.
Good luck deciding ,my potential bag twins :flowers:

Boy oh boy, what a pickle I find myself in... I just purchased one pre-loved Siena PM, a pre-loved By The Pool Speedy is coming tomorrow and a bag I had forgotten about just shipped from LV!!! Apparently I got the last Neo Alma BB in the continental US.... this is wayyyyyy too much, something(s) going back! I'm not in love with the Neo, she is super cute but shoot, should I just keep it and sell it when I'm through with it?? Ugh, why are these bags so cute...

2021 By the Pool Speedy (as pictured below)..... Does anyone know the popularity for this bag, was it in high demand and do you think it still is? Odd questions, I know, but I started my collection last winter and never had the chance to see this bag. It seems really cute and I found a seller that has it in excellent condition, but I would be buying it before ever seeing this in person. I am so hesitant to do that but if I don't like it and the demand for this bag still seems to exist, would I probably be able to just sell it for around what I paid which will be $2100? Thoughts??

I think it is stunning!!! I bought the tiny backpack in the same collection BTP in brume colour. The same colour as that speedy and I love it so much. It is so beautiful and A sweet colour. It matches with lot of colours :P

Hi! I absolutely love the BTP collection! I have the light pink version of the Speedy 25b and a brume Neverfull. This collection made my heart sing, and still does. The brume color that you are looking at is a little more muted than the light pink, and is a little easier to style as a result. Just a heads up - for some reason, by my research the BTP canvas has a slight chemical odor. Both my neverfull and speedy have it. It is not super offensive, but if you smell the bag up close, it is still there on mine. I store them in their dust bags with bag organizers that have some perfume lightly sprayed on them to mask the smell, and I keep the zipper of the speedy open during storage to keep it aired out. If you look at Rebag you will see that all their Speedy’s from the BTP collection list an “odor” and I am betting it is the same chemical odor mine has. (But maybe I was just unlucky when I received 2 items with the smell - it may not be a wide spread thing!).

Wow how odd! I wanted to order one through an out of state consignment shop but they don't allow for returns and I have never seen the bag in person so I ordered from fashionphile and can return if I need to. Wonder what they did differently with this bag, I'm supposed to get it today.

How exciting and congratulations! I hope you love her, even if she does have a faint odor :).

Do you use your bag often in the summer months? My only thought is how much will I use it. I just ordered the black bicolor speedy 25 to compare the two

I used it last summer quite a lot! I do have a bag organizer in it to keep the light color interior clean and I like the more structured look of a speedy rather than the squishy look. I think it is just such a happy bag and it makes me smile. I do have a couple of other speedy‘s that are better for fall and winter. The bicolor is a lovely choice also! They are very different bags. Have fun choosing - the journey is part of the fun!

I spaced and forgot to ask you if you experienced any color transfer with this speedy? Wondering if it is similar to the Damier Azur pattern that loves to pick up colors...

How cute, what a good purchase! Did you experience any color transfer issues with it? I've been wondering if this bag picks up colors like the Damier Azur canvas.

Mine still looks perfect, but I am very careful with my bags and make sure I don’t wear any of them against denim. If I wear denim I wear my mono MPA or something else crossbody that sits higher than my hip, a neverfull or OTG over my shoulder, or a speedy in the crook of my elbow. Skirts and dresses, or neutral colored pants only while wearing Speedy’s, or any other bag that hits at the hip, as a crossbody. Years ago I turned a beautiful yellow squishy Kate Spade bag blue/purple from denim, and I won’t risk a repeat episode :biggrin:.
