Yes, I use my strap with the Odeon MM about. I love it!
Same! I really want to cut off the strap on my Nano Speedy but I’m too scared.Yes I had the same thinking as you. Also debating to cut the strap on the old nano speedy so I can use an adjustable strap...granted I haven't worked up the courage yet
No not yet. I don’t know what to do with the vachetta handles. My first bag with so much vanchetta. Don’t know if I should spray it, treat it or patina champ. So confused and worried it will get stained. Any words of advise? And I still have to get some extenders too@Bumbles have you had a chance to use your speedy 20 yet??
You may not like my advice but that’s ok. Lol. In all my years of buying lv I do nothing to vachetta. I do not treat.No not yet. I don’t know what to do with the vachetta handles.

That’s an honest answer and I appreciate it. The only other bag I have is a nano turenne, with not too much vachetta and I didn’t treat it either. This was also early days where I had no idea and just used it as is. It has a lovely golden patina now. There is a few wet spots or dirty marks but only visble if you start inspecting it closely.
hi Bumbles - I’m with you, the 20 was my first bag with vachetta handles. I have almost no vachetta in my collection except for tags on pouches, personal preference primarily. But my first trip out with my 20 I pulled a boneheaded move and spilled tea in my front seat with my 20! I was horrified as it was untreated. Luckily only a small spot of tea on the back handle. In some ways it helped - I can’t see it unless I look specifically, and I’m not so worried anymore. I did however treat it with Collonil, but I didn’t have the guts to spray it. I put it on a clean white cloth and wiped it on. Now it’s protected and I treat it as any other bag. HTH - it isn’t simple (at least for us obsessers here on tpfNo not yet.

Oh no,…. Your speedy! But so glad it’s ok and worked out in the end. Thanks for sharing that. It’s always so stressful and nervous racking with this vachetta, but wants it starts getting patina it’s gorgeous.hi Bumbles - I’m with you, the 20 was my first bag with vachetta handles.

At the moment I’m just admiring it’s cuteness and putting near the window for it to tab slightly by itself. Super slow process thoughIt’s looks fine to me, and you said when you zip it up it’s not noticeable so I wouldn’t worry. I have another bag where the zip is like that unzipped, but once zipped up it’s fine. Enjoy your gorgeous bag!
And you said apart from this it’s perfect, so that’s great. You may of read a few posts back, my brand new speedy 20 has wonky handle, cotton thread on strap loose and handles wrinkled but I’m ok and accepting it (thanks to all the lovely support here, seems like it’s liveable with), so your zip is fine!
I honestly can’t tell! Congrats on your little cutie!

I think it looks fine - as I‘ve used mine the zipper is a little more open when unzipped so I be you won’t be able to see that at all. It’s such a great bag. Enjoy!!
