Mono speedy 30 or 35? Help!

[PennyL]

Hi!

In about a month (end of june.. little more than a month but i'm optimistic haha) i'm going to get my first Louis Vuitton! I worked my ass off for it (3 years of pondering wether or not i would spend it on a bag.. i'm from the netherlands.. we're really down-to-earth when it comes to expensive bags haha)

but now i still don't know if i should go for the speedy 30 or 35.. The most bags i have are pretty big..(i keep everything with me :shame but i'm kinda small and i want my first LV to be juuuust right (basically i'm scared the 35 will look more like a weekender or something on me)

(I'm 5.6/ 1.69)

(Btw i'm new, my name is sabrina , almost 20.. and in serious loveeee with all of your bags )

could you keep me advice and maybe show pictures of you and your speedy 30/35?

thanks in advance

I have three speedy's and they are all 30's. For me 30 is the perfect size

The Speedy 30 would be great for your height. The Speedy 25 is smaller; unless you're looking for a much smaller bag.

No no ever since my bag got stolen in Barcelona i carry everything around in my bag and keep my bag as closest as possible. (With a small bag i'm more likely to put it on a table beside me and that's how it got stolen last time ush: lol)

thank you!
of course i'm going to check in the store also but you guys are the pro's so i thought i would check with you first

I LVOE my Speedy 35! It's perfect for me!

It definitely does not look like luggage. I have the Mini Lin 30 and when I use it now, it seems small.

In the Mono, I prefer the 35 because where I live the 25 and the 30 are way too common ~ a dime a dozen so to speak!

When I purchased my first Speedy I thought I wanted the 40 but when I held it up in front of me at the store I thought it was a little too large and the 30 was just a bit too small but the 35 was perfect. I am 5'6" also and it is not too big, but I never carry a small handbag, I love to keep all of my necessities with me.

Here are some comparison pics of my mono 35 and Damier 30. I hope they help!

Oh good grief. You've gotta be kidding! And I mean that in the BEST MOST LOVING WAY!!! Have you not done a search on my turmoil and strife not earlier last week about this exact same problem???? Oy.....

I'll tell ya - and I don't think this is going to be any help...but I'll make it SHORT:

Went to LV - bought Mono 35. Debated about 30 vs. 35.....but brought home 35.

Thought for two days - damn she's big. Went back to LV - exchanged Mono 35 for Mono 30.

Sitting now for one week. I love my 30. Damn I miss that 35. Crap - what can I do? How foolish would it be to have both? Not only both but I have a vintage French Co. Mono Speedy 25! I'd open my open Mono Speedy store in all 3 sizes (no way on the 40 for me)....

So as I sit here tonight knowing there's the increase coming, I called my SA and said I'm so EMBARRASSED to come back again but ("hey Joelle! How's it goin'? ) what did he think about exchanging the Mono 30 for a Damier Ebene 30 and then getting the Mono 35. "Good one!" he says (of course he does - I'm the customer.....).....

but I FEEL FOR YOUR CONFUSION. I've everyone around me within a 10 mile radius that's not online CRAZY with this....and I'm sure I've made my internet friends a little sick of me as well......

Did this help? Probably not....BUT what I did do is post the difference between the two ON ME. I'm 5'4" and curvy. I got the gambit when I posted "what should I do?" You will never get one answer, you will get every differing opinion and a million reasons 'why' on all these points......and my hubby stands here while I'm deciding between Mono and Damier going "gee that's no help is it?"

Please please please keep ME posted. Maybe you can help me make up my mind....and by the way DAWN - it was YOUR picture that made me decision to do this swap/switch thing tomorrow.....beautiful pictures.......

I'm subscribing to this thread for all the excitement and insight!!!

35 - me in camo pants

Either the 30 or 35 is fine, both are big enough to put lots of things in it. Good luck with your decision.

I have the 30 in mono and azur and am thinking of getting the 35 because of the commonality of the 30. But today, I realize I actually bump into a lot of things when I carry my 30 and if I got the 35 I might be knocking things down. Plus, I already lug around a lot of stuff and am afraid the 35 would just enable me to lug even MORE stuff around. I'm 5'3 and about 135 lbs. I think I am going to stick with the 30.

I like the 35!

I'm 5'5", 125 lbs and have the 35 and I love it, as Sweet Purple said, where I live everyone has a 25 or 30 so its a little different and has that great oversized look that I love. Plus, I too,schlep my entire life with me and there's still plenty of room to spare!

Yes, and in addition to my earlier post I agree here with those that have said the 25s and 30s are more popular.....which makes ME want the 35 even more.
In fact, when I got the 30, the SA said "this is the most popular size..." I don't like being like everyone else!!!
