Speedy Bandouliere 20

I bought speedy 20 with black strap when they first launch. Then I am not happy with the strap and sold it. I missed it, so I bought another one with pink strap last May. Not so long after that, they launch it with adjustable strap. I feel sad/angry/unfairness because honestly I am not 100% satisfied with this bag because of the strap length. I love the bag size, but I just can’t enjoy using extender which I am not sure why. Feels like too much chain/hardware on it. It’s a small bag after all. Again, I sold it and order a new one with adjustable strap. Now I am waiting for the bag to arrive. I hope this time I am happy and will keep it forever. Will do reveal once I have it.

I’m also pretty bitter about the strap. I wish they made it adjustable to begin with!
 
I have the 20 as well with the original pink strap and I have to wear it with extenders. I got used to it and I wear that strap on one other bag, my fuschia Maxi pochette also with one extender. I think Louis Vuitton has people on social media, on the forum, they look for trends, they look for the do it yourself stuff that all of us do and then they copy it and sell it because they would rather have the revenue then having us customize it. We saw it with the tp 26/15, we’ve seen it with them adding scarves to handles, etc. Cynical I know, but one of my favorite prints, the sunset in the men’s long was “borrowed“ from an Instagram artist and they finally had to credit him when they sold bags with his print and enough people called them out on Instagram about it. They see companies like Mautto raking in revenue because they don’t make their straps adjustable, voila, adjustable strap.

Guess I haven’t had enough coffee this morning :P I agree with both of you, any strap should be adjustable because all people come in all sizes and heights and one size is definitely not fit all! @balen.girl hope you love your new adjustable strap!!!

I know how you feel abt the strap. Like you were ripped off right? And fancy doing it for the same price that it’s currently at too so ppl will definitely be unhappy. If they increased it by 100-200 to distinguish it from the non adjustable pink one it wouldn’t angry the ones that got it prior, but like this it does. I have the original one too and have to use it with an extender. It’s ok but not ideal and original. Hope you love it when it arrives.

Yes I agree!! 100%. But then what also angers me is the adjustable straps that are still too short. Like the psp ones. They are called adjustable but when I tried it in store it’s still too short for me so how does that work? It’s adjustable but only designed for certain heights? LV needs to get their act together. Adjustable should mean it fits for a wide range of heights!!

Oh no… I never tried the length of the new one because I bought it from CS. I hope the length is good for me. Else….. There will be another version with longer strap and adjustable ! What a nightmare………

Thank you DrTr. I really hope this time will works. To be honest, I am exhausted after chasing 3 times. As we all know, this bag is hard to come and for all 3 purchases I need to keep asking my SA. And now I am still refreshing my tracking, hoping the ETA will change. Can’t wait to see..

Which extender did you get in the end? I remember there was such a pretty flower motive one, did you get that one? And would you mind sharing where you got it? Thanks!
 
Hi @EveyB of course. It’s one from Amazon with 3 flowers on a gold chain and round clasp at the ends. Yes the one you described sounds right. Did you want it for your speedy 20 too? They have lots of pretty designs and cheap too. Adds great length to the strap now for me. Let me take you a pic and share with you later.

Thank you Bumbles! Could you share a link or the item name? :)

I‘m quite happy with the length of my jacquard straps, but the Buci has this leather strap that can be adjusted to 3 lengths - shoulder, long shoulder and crossbody. The crossbody is way too long on me, so I‘m thinking about wearing it crossbody on the long shoulder length setting with an extender. And I remembered that you got some pretty ones :)

The strap extender will work perfectly for you and I’m sure you will love it. Here is a pic and also the link. You can choose from many pretty designs but the one I got was my favourite. Simple and very pretty. Let me know what you end up choosing. Enjoy!
