Thanks! I have seen that photo and was hoping it'd just be one of those colours that show up a lot brighter in photos than IRL. Guess it is as bright as the photos make it...2015 Grenade it is!

Yup, it's vachetta! It's not as dark as the rest of the pre-tanned vachetta on the bag though. I think that's why it gives the impression of being more glossy.@daisy913 I just noticed the strap is like the strap of the Vanity! Is that vachetta? It almost looks glossy. I’m super envious of that strap... I would have so many bags I can use it with. The Vanity strap, I don’t like mixing leathers and only have one other reverse monogram bag I’d use it with (Square bag, which i primarily carry by hand)
Hmm I guess I just don't have very many bags with detachable straps! It might still look good with the mono Pochette so I might try it with that.Yup, it's vachetta!

Hmm I think the strap would go well with anything in black leather or mono + black accents. If you have any black Chanel bags, I think the strap would work with them too. The strap makes everything hit at my hip bone (5'4", short torso).
If you can't make this look good, who could? Definitely not a fan.Today, 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 of 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 the 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.

Update: I'm going to request an exchange for the egg bag. The alignment bothers me too much. The more I looked it at, the more I saw how the entire back piece was actually slanted. The red glazing on the edge is also really bright and uneven in color. All my other lv bags have a uniform red edge. Had this been a $20 bag, I would have wanted it to be perfect, or I would have walked away. No reason why I shouldn't hold $$$$ bags to the same standard.
When you finally receive your bag, I hope it's perfect and up to your standards in every way.
