wander over to ebay too (or resale sites) and look at vintage epi bags in size 25. many look quite good still (holding shape) in comparison to canvas and leather bags. a lot depends on how you treat your bag too, and what you place inside over the years.Which bag do you think have a better tear & wear on the long term: Speedy 25 Empreinte Noir NM or the soon to be released Epi Noir Speedy? My SA advised against Epi Speedy, because of the aging of the Epi on an unstructered bag like Speedy. I like both the Epi and Empreinte Speedy look.
