Taking care of your Speedy

It’s best to stuff your speedys. I use air paper or bubble wrap. If they are stored folded, I think it increases the likelihood of cracking in the wrinkles when they age. If your speedy has Vachetta, I put a cloth under the handles so they don’t touch the chaps, which could cause uneven patina where they touch. I take the lock off the tab for storage if it is a regular speedy, not a bandouliere, and store it inside. Of course, use a dust bag for longer storage times.
 
I have them folded because I don’t have much space to store them but I did it since 2010 and they are still in good condition.

Would prefer to store my bags filled if I had the space though.
 
Honestly I don't take care of mine at all! I usually just throw it up on the shelf in the closet without stuffing it or even making sure it's upright. I don't wipe it down with a cloth, or anything like that. And you know what? It still looks fantastic with a beautiful patina 10 years after purchase. The canvas is quite durable - try not to stress so much and enjoy the bag.

I use a rolled up bath towel in my Speedy 30 and then store it in its dust bag. I have a base shaper that I bought off Etsy. I now use toiletry pouches to keep things organized and not all over the place.
 
I had issues with the lock... it tarnish a lot and in my case it also tarnish the zipper and the zipper pulls.. I love the lock.. but I decided not to use it anymore in my Speedy B.
 
I have a samorga organizer for all my speedies... it's a real game changer! It keeps the shape of the speedy without being too rigid, and actually makes the bag functional and easy to use.

Same! I’ve had my monogram speedy since 2009 and I don’t do anything to it. It still looks great today.
