Just wondering about caring for my new red baby!

Got the epi speedy in Red which came with silver padlock and key.

Do you guys keep the padlock and key hanging on your bag at all times? Just wondering about scratching, etc.

Thanks!
 
I totally understand where you are coming from. I used to leave the padlock with the key inside of the padlock on my bags and luggage, but I found it to be much better to leave the lock locked on one side of the pull of the zipper and have all the keys in a Louis Vuitton Key Holder. That way if you want to lock it, you have the keys safely tucked into your bag.
 
i keep my keys and lock on the d-ring inside my speedies, that way i don't lose any of my locks and keys, while keeping the shape of the leaf for the lock.
 
Lock and keys are on all my bags expect my mini lin they are inside attached to the d ring. I do have one key from that lock and one from my lockit on my key ring just in case the other key gets lost.
 
Congrats on your Epi Speedy!!! I keep the lock on while I'm using the bag, because I like how it looks, but I just leave the key at home (if I purchase a key holder, I would prob. put the key in there). I take the lock off when I am storing the bag though.
 
I keep my lock (without keys) on the leaf but never actually "lock" it, KWIM? I keep the one key in the pocket and the spare in a box on my dresser.
 
I only lock the lock on my damier speedy, I hate how the leaf gets dirty on my mono speedy. But I always keep the keys on the inside pocket.
