Spring Summer 2017

Today I got to play a bit with the new Epi Speedy Bandoulière 25. I actually didn't really like it IRL. The leather, as expected, is not soft and comfortable and the bag doesn't mold to your body. I think this worked fine on the regular Speedy, but I don't know how it will be on the B version in the long run. I'm definitely not going to buy it now, because I fear the Epi leather on the B version will show indentations and weird creases with use.
Anyway, I took some pics so we all could have a little bit of eye candy. They're beautiful anyway. The interior is black microfiber lining and I think it has two slip pockets (sorry, I didn't really pay attention there).
For reference, I'm 5'1 1/5" and the strap is on the shortest setting.

I see your point. They are lovely but look very stiff and rigid, not at all slouchy as the canvas and Empriente speedy.
Thanks for Sharing.

You're welcome!
Exactly, they didn't sit comfortably at all against my hip. And I know that with time they probably would, but that is pretty much what I fear, because the Epi leather is rigid and that would mean indentations and whatnot. I'm seriously going to wait at least a year to even consider buying this bag and I'll make sure to watch a ton of wear and tear videos.

Thanks for the pics. How was it as a crossbody?

Yeah, maybe I'll pass too... I was drooling over the pics, but I also love my Speedies slouchy :/

I totally forgot to take crossbody pictures, sorry! Maybe because the bag didn't sit well crossbody on me, so I put it back over one shoulder right away. It REALLY stuck out too much. Again, I believe this would get better over time, but that would mean unpleasant (at least for me) indentations on the rigid leather.

I am not considering speedy but Epi Alma. Your share is useful, thank you.

I wouldn't let a post from someone trying on a bag for a couple of moments in a store dissuade you from a purchase

I've had very positive experiences with all my Epi pieces and don't agree with much of what was said about the Speedy.

How is the strap? 2 pieces and long like the NM Empreinte?

I was told two pieces. That's the deal breaker for me. Love the 3 piece on my other two.

@mrsinsyder is right, go to a store and check it out by yourself Maybe you'll love it! I now know I prefer the Epi leather on more structured bags, but that's my personal taste.

It's two pieces, but the strap is not as long as the Speedy Empreinte NM one (thank goodness!).

I'm loving the look of Epi Speedy the only minor thing i would change is that exterior decorative side pocket. I wish instead it had an interior zipper pocket(more usuaful to me) + the 2 slip pockets like in the Emp Speedy . I really love the Emp Speedy interior but like the Epi speedy more

Thank you for these pictures and your opinions. This is very much appreciated.
