So after going back and forth about buying a mono speedy i think i'm going to buy one. For some strange reason its the only highly replicated bag that i don't mind owning........
anyways been reading alot about the speedy sagging, aside from a folder, cardboard, or magazine are there any other ways of preventing it from sagging? do they always sag? I would feel weird to have a piece of cardboard on the bottom of my designer purse at all times....(no offence to anyone who does that JMO)
I'm planning to get a 35. Any advice? thanks

I think it's Kat that has a piece of cut and sanded down plexiglass in the bottom of hers. That would be something a little more permanent than cardboard. You could also get a purseket to distribute the weight more evenly on the bottom of the bag, but the large size might be a little small for the 35.

Hmm...well, if you're bag isn't going to be stuffed with your items, they will pretty much sag to some degree at all times. But I have a speedy 30 that I pretty much carry at least once or twice a week, and I've never really minded the sagging so much (maybe it's just because I can't see the sag :) ). I don't have cardboard or anything in there and it's fine with me. Does this help? :)

Your local home depot should carry it, as well as maybe craft stores since there are crafty uses for it as well !

I have the Speedy 35 and LOVE it. Its so substantial in size. it says "Hey, here I am."

If you live close to a boutique I would try both on and see how you feel. I'm 5'4-5'5 and the Speedy 35 looks fine on me.


Either one that you get you'll be happy. Its a classic bag. Timeless.

Yes there are a million fakes out ther but you can tell the difference.
And nothing beats the confident feeling you get knowing you're carrying the real deal :D


Good luck and post pics when you get it;)

I have the 35 and 40. Love them so much!!! I posted some pics in several threads here of me and my 35. I have a catalog at the bottom of the Speedy so it doesn't sag!
