Thanks for showing me this! I ordered another one and it looked even worse. So returned both. I'll just try again when they have new stock!

Hi, the hardware not exactly match right???, I got same strap and that what look like on mine.
Thanks, my canvas strap the hardware is more yellow than hardware on speedy 20. So look like mono strap hardware match speedy 20 hardware better !!.
After 2 years of waiting for restock, I’m so happy that I am finally in the club and thankful I got a good one! There’s only this one leather tab (photo below) that is not so perfect. It looks like there are faint veins (like veins under skin) on it. I’ll just treat it as it’s “birthmark”. Can’t complain since the rest of the bag is, in my opinion as good as it could be.

I also have a “is it normal” question. Is the stitching at the back of this strap’s vachetta normal? The front part (2nd photo) looks ok.
That’s unfortunately normal for LV. Have a couple of straps where the stitching on the back side looks the same as on yours.
Congrats on your very beautiful bag!

I have the 12 mm VVN strap that I use with mine — already had it for my pochettes, and it transitioned fine to the Speedy 20. I imagine a 16 mm strap would work just as well.
Ty for the info.
I also tried it with my mono bandoliere xl, and it looks okay, but I really want the traditional speedy look so ordered the vvn. I wish they’d just offer it with a vachetta strap!
I hear you on the traditional look. Currently using my mono strap, but will use my vachetta Speedy Nano strap once the vachetta tones are similar enough.
I used a vachetta strap on my 2004 Speedy 25 before bandouliere was ever introduced, my mom did the same in the 80s/90s with a Speedy 30. No issues and I still prefer that look vs. the big leather bands going down the sides of the Speedy B.
So... Once you get the vachetta strap, it will be lovely! When did you order the strap?
Yes that’s exactly the look I want, traditional old school speedy. Love that! I ordered the strap last week and they said it would be two weeks, which is not too bad. I just got the 20, so hoping the strap will patina at the same rate as the handles. Nice that you have the nano strap!
I checked mine. Your front part is nicer than mine, and my back part is a little bit better than yours but both of them are fine, it’s normal I think!
I love my beige strap so much. It fits my casual style and I look younger
