So excited with that after 5 months I finally was able to get the speedy b 20 online. However, when I opened the box, I found a lot of creases on the handle the stitching on the left side is a bit far from the border. The vanchetta on the handle and below the handle seems to have some discolararion. Do you guys think I should send this back? Just so sad because I waited for this for so long.

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!

I see the small dent on the vachetta and the scratches in the hardware. I received one with dents on each handle and maybe three of those small dents that’s on yours, but mine also had some stitching issues that caused dents on the canvas that couldn’t be pushed out. Luckily, I was able to exchange mine, but for another with a different type of dent/imprints on the vachetta chaps around the stitching, but good stitching around the piping that didn’t warp the canvas part, so I was happy I was able to exchange. I think the dent would bother me, but maybe because I received one with more dents and I couldn’t un-see it. Maybe it could get smoother with use? I’m not sure. As for the hardware, I’m wondering if the bag was on display at the store and a lock was placed on it causing the scratches? I’ve seen brand new locks at the store with deep scratches, so if the hardware on this bag is the same, it might just show scratches more easily with use. My speedy 25 has the non shiny gold hardware, so doesn’t show scratches as easily. I guess when I’m buying something new, I would like for it to look new and without scratches even though I know eventually with use, the hardware will develop scratches over time. Some people might feel okay with the scratches knowing it will appear that way over time anyway. You should be happy and comfortable with your new bag though. So if those slight imperfections bother you, maybe you could do an exchange too. I think many people have said it’s more readily available now, so maybe it’s possible to exchange? Best of luck to you in deciding! ❤️

Too right!! You couldn’t decide so you bought both speedy 20 right? :biggrin: :biggrin:

I’m thinking about the next summer drop in June (the shimmering Empreinte), will you be collecting more colours of the speedy 20 if they look pretty?:biggrin:
