Greetings!!
I am strongly considering the speedy b epi leather. Can anyone who has this bag tell me what the like and dislike? Also if anyone passed/ returned this bag. Can you tell me why?
I couldn't find much when I tried to search for reviews. Any information is helpful.
Thanks in advance!
I love the epi speedy and I think you should definitely try one out at the store to see if you love it! But I would keep a few minor things in mind to help you get a great bag.
I just recently got the marine rouge empreinte speedy and the denim epi speedy, and while I love the look of the epi leather, I find it hard to get the zipper past the edge of my bag. After I fully unzip the bag, when I try to zip it back up, both sides of the zipper would get stuck on corners. The leather would get pushed together so tightly in that area that it is a tad difficult (and quite annoying) to try and rezip! Especially when you are in a hurry trying to pay at the store!
I end up not zipping the bag open fully, past the top edge of the bag and down the side, so the opening is basically the same size as the canvas speedies! That's why I use my empreinte one more, as it zips open and close without any problems, allowing me to use the extra wide mouth opening!
And I agree with the above poster! My bag has a little lump on the back, that only gets more defined with use. Nothing you can do about it, it's just the way the bag is structured.
So just make sure you check your bag for lumps to make sure they are minimal, and also look to see if your zipper gets stuck at the corner when trying to zip it closed. If those two things don't bother you or you find one without those minor issues, then you'll LOVE the epi speedy!! Such a classic and beautiful bag! Totally worth adding to your collection!
