You know what? I just bought a new version speedy b25 mono yesterday and now you have me reconsidering...... I really want a speedy b25 in mono but I just bought speedy b25 DE last month (I love mono more but needs a worry free bag with kids and rainy days)...yes the vachetta kinds of bothers me I know I just have to baby more. I am not working, just a housewife with 2 kids, so my lifestyle quite casual. Speedy b25 definitely suits my life style(running around lol) and I really carry not much. But a worry free mono bag just SOOOO TEMPTING!!! I am such a mono lover! This Pallas definitely ages well..... black is always classic and easy to match.....
