Collage of Seaside items:Pochette Grenelle in the color seaside is available now on the US website if anyone is interested! For the Twist MM, it shows the color in seaside when I searched for it but if I go to the actual product page it’s not available yet.
Thanks for this review! U saved me a returnToday, I received the Speedy BB VVN. Tomorrow, it will be shipped back. I wanted to love this bag but I don’t. I tried it with the strap that came with it and the mono bandouliere strap.
For my lifestyle and height of 5’10”, these are the cons:
I can’t think of one pro to keeping this bag. It’s just too fussy for me. On to the next one.
- When worn crossbody with the chain strap, it hits above my waist and the handle that’s closest to the body won’t lay flat.
- The lock looks awkward on the bag and the leather piece where the lock goes looks awkward when the lock is off the bag (that piece sticks up).
- The leather part where the lock goes is not sewn straight.
- When worn on the shoulder, the handle that’s closest to the body won’t lay flat.
- I don’t like the contrasting brick red zipper that matches the glazing. IMO, it would look better with a brown zipper.
- The bag appears to be yellowish in person and photos. My husband said “You bought a yellow bag.”
- The zipper pulls are long and make the bag look busy.
- I don’t like the yellow stitching going across the bag that is there for interior pocket.
- The quality of the leather does not feel that of a bag that costs $2680.
- The chain strap is trying too hard to be Chanel.
