Not really a hack and I know other members are doing it... but I've been going back and forth trying to decide whether to buy a Speedy b 25 or 30. I've watched all the youtube videos, read reviews, even tried them both on at LV loaded up with all my things! I love the way the 25 looks but I'm worried about the small size. I don't really like the 30 worn crossbody AT ALL but I know it's more "practical".....
So I bought a gorgeous pre-loved Speedy 25 for a steal and a vachetta strap from Valuebeltsplus - both on their way! This way I'm not out over 1k "deciding if I like it" LOL and then having to deal with selling a bag I might not like!
Plus, even when I do buy the Speedy b I'll still have a cute classic 25 and a vachetta strap (which cost me $18!).


Btw, I'm pretty sure k-craft and rebirthday are the same seller. I have a ton of those chains and they are awesome! They have given new life to my pochettes the past few years. :)

Can you post a picture of the vachetta strap you bought? I bought one last year also from eBay (can't remember seller) for my speedy 30 but it ended up just looking awkward so I never used it. I think my strap was too wide.

I bought the 1 in. natural vachetta -- in gold tone and 48 inches. I used my Eva strap to decide on length. I think 44 inches would've been a bit too short--the bag would be too high on my side worn cross body. Here's the link!

This is the exact strap that I bought! I hope it works out for you. It looked terrible on me. Either because I have a speedy 30 or because of my body type (petite, curvy). Also beware of this seller, s/he can get nasty if you email to complain about something.

Ugh! Hopefully it won't look too bad. I figured it's cheap and at least I can decide if the 25 works with it. Eventually I might buy a pre-loved LV strap if this one is crappy. Thanks for the heads up though- I'll make sure not to complain...now that you mention it, when this seller was on ebay I had asked if they could combine shipping if I purchased two straps (one vachetta and one to match DE) and they said NO, it has to be two identical straps. I thought that was weird and being really stingey!!

Keep us updated! I also bought a thin vachetta strap from the same seller to use with my mono and DA pochettes. I absolutely loved it and it made my pochettes so much more functional.

Repurposed that old Cles Pochette chain ring to use for my 6 Key Holder.
Thank you LV Greenbelt for the FREE chain replacement for my four year old Cles!
