Thank you SM! It’s such a cute gorgeous bag and the strap is special too. I just wish it was longer or adjustable. I have to get extenders to wear with it and also checking out generic vachetta straps too. I didn’t take it into LV for the stitch as I thought in the place that’s it’s positioned it would be low risk or getting worst. Fingers crossed! That’s for sharing abt your bag. I also read a lot of members have slightly wonky handle too and wrinkles so I guess it’s common. And also due to the small size bag it can be hard to make. Larger bags are easier I think.Congrats! So excited for you!
I think overall your bag looks great. The wrinkles on the handle are not bad at all imo. I have wrinkles on my handle and I'm ok with that.
When I first saw my handle at the store, it was quite crooked. The SA just pushed it to one side to make it look better, and it has stayed straight since then.
Re the loose thread on the strap, I think an LV SA can fix that. Can you take it in to see what they can do to the strap?

Honestly, I'd rather have slight stitch indentations than crooked stitching. The leather does soften with use, plus it darkens so it won't be as noticeable. In Jan of 2021 I received my Mon Mono SpeedyB 25. It had what some described as "puffy chaps", that is, the triangular part of the leather that attaches to the canvas were very puffy, almost like there was a little padding in it. But I just looked at it, over a year later, and the puffs have flattened out. So if you use the handles regularly the dents should fade with time if they really annoy you.
Bought this for myself as an early bday present - I went into the Miami Design District store just to look. I actually asked to see cosmetics cases but when the SA went into the cabinet to get something out, I spotted it and went I NEED TO SEE THAT! I totally didn’t intend to buy a bag but I couldn’t pass it up!
what a cute! I just purchased exact same bag 2 weeks ago from Atlanta store. So happy!
Update!* my stalky skills have paid off re-ordered Speedy 20 540AM Tuesday and received it TODAY She is PERFECT including brand new lock and key still in box Made in USA and canvas is soft and squishy
I received my speedy 20 in the mail today and I'm kind of disappointed. Not sure if I'm just being super picky but the bag seemed like it was used and returned. There are small areas of dirt on the vachetta leather and there is a small dent. Also theres scratches on a part of the hardware. From far away it isn't noticeable but it is definitely there. Would love to hear any opinions on this and whether I should return!

The dent wouldn’t bother me personally but I think the scratches on the hardware would. That said I received one with a wonky back handle and after sitting with it overnight and kind of pulling the handle into place I’m in love with her and decided to keep! Maybe sit on it and then decide.
Thank you for the advice! Yeah the hardware scratches was definitely noticeable- I will sit on it and see how I feel in a day or so
Same here, a couple of small things but it took too long and 2 canceled orders before I got one so kept it
Honestly these are such minor things in my opinion, almost have to get a magnifying glass to see. You could probably remove that mark off the hardware with a jewelry poishing cloth.
Mine has one chap with a larger mark and 2 lines on it and the the 'made in' tab on the side looks slightly crooked but I kept it. I waited too long and 2 orders over 2 months canceled before this one. I will just keep it
Yeah reading this thread I've noticed that people have had various minor or major issues with theirs and I think mine are minor, especially since you can't see it from far away. I will definitely try a polishing cloth to see if the scratches are less noticeable. Thanks for the advice!
After placing an order for this bag last october - then (foolishly) canceling it after getting the empriente 20 - I was able to score one online this morning! I feel like such a dummy for not keeping my order in october and getting it before the PI 
But as nice as the empriente 20 is, I figured out that I want this one, too - more casual and the size & opening of the 20 is just so perfect so why not have two?!
Strangely it offered free overnight shipping... Now I wait to see if it is a good one or someone else's junky return. Fingers crossed it is a good one!
