I have just got the Speedy 25b empreinte as an early Xmas present. I have owned the 25b in DE and mono in the past but sold them, even though I do love the bag. It is my favourite size of Speedy. I think ultimately I am now into more discreet LV when it comes to medium size bags and this generally means the non-canvas items. I love empreinte leather and think it really elevates the Speedy bag. I still prefer mono and de for smaller bags or SLGs but really really love the empriente Speedy. I also ordered the de 20b Speedy recently but returned it as it was just too small and I felt it looked like a novelty bag on me (I’m 5’9 and over 40). I don’t believe in age dictating bag choices at all but, for me, I think I am done with the trendy, influencer type styles and this includes mini sizes of bags that were originally bigger.
