I just got a classic speedy 25 and bought a separate strap to attach to the handles when shoulder/crossbody carrying is necessary. I know people say not to do this now, but LV actually advised clients to do this for decades before speedy B was released in 2011. For smaller sizes (25 & 30) if you're just carrying normal stuff as opposed to bricks I don't think it will hurt the bag. And the new playing cards speedies (I think they're part of the new cruise collection that will be released soon) have straps that attach to the handles!

Speedy b looks like a gym bag to me, and the leather strips down the sides can get weird and wrinkly...

So, I vote classic speedy, and add a strap when you need it.

Do you have a photo of you using the strap please?

I think it also depends on your body frame. I’m 5’2 and when I wear my 30B it looks like a small gym bag with all my school stuff in it lol. But I don’t mind how it looks. I used it for school and travel mainly. I sometimes carry it without strap but find it a bit too big and heavy. I got speedy 25classic at the beginning of the year just because I love the look of classic speedy. I thought I might not use it much since it doesn’t have strap, ended up using a lot more than the 30B. But now I’m thinking it’s the size rather than the strap that made the difference tho.... Now I feel I’m totally not helping you lol.

You have probably right. I’m 5’5 so it’s sure look the same on me. I have a meeting on Friday at LV. Try to have my eyes open for some other bag. I would like to have a bag that I can close with a zipper. I have a delightful that I love but I use it every day and I want to save on it.

Classic Speedy. Personally, I don’t like the look of the Speedy B. It look like a gym bag. The bottom of the bag is huge. If I’m out, I pretty have a good idea what bag I’ll be using. There are plenty of nice looking crossbody bags. Classic Speedy is so classy handheld.

Hi everyone :smile:,
I looked at the Speedy and some other bags. I changed directions and ended up with LV Soufflot bb in noir. It’s elegant and I liked the compartments. I can wear it crossbody, in my hand an on the should. Also liked the combination between canvas and the black leather. I Didn’t liked the look of Bandouiler. And also was the strap very thin. No so I decided if I go for a speedy sometimes it will be a classic.
thanks everyone for your thoughts. Have a lovely day!
