The Speedy 30: Monogram, Damier Azur or Damier Ebony?

[Ms. Pursonality]

My husband surprised me with a very generous gift card to LV for our 20th anniversary two weeks ago. I went straight to the LV boutique and got my first speedy...the 30 damier azur. I did do a little "agonizing" between the azur and the monogram, but ended up with the former. Two weeks later and I am still thrilled with my choice. I live in Tucson, AZ where it is hot 11 months out of the year, so it was a perfect choice. I sprayed the handles with apple garde when I got home and now don't have a care in the world. Love it to pieces. I hope you too love whatever you end up getting

i have the azur and regret not getting the ebene! my azur got pretty dirty (mainly talking about the vachetta here) and also the color transfer from my jeans which isnt that noticeable

I did not read any other responses but I have to say you must get the one you just love . . . there has to be one that speaks to you? Good luck and have fun shopping.

^^This is exactly what happened to me. My heart yearned for the Azur, but since I'm a guy the 30 was too small for me. On my 29th b-day last year, I went to the boutique to get the 40 for gym and there he was, the 30 Azur sitting on the shelf. I went home that day super happy with my 40 but then, my heart continued to yearn for the Azur. On Nov. 2008, my heart fell head over heels w/ Cassis and bought one right on the spot and once again ecstatic but my heart continued to yearn for the Azur. Finally in April 2009, I got the 35 and somehow, I'm now completely satisfied w/ my Speedy collection.

^^My LVOE for Azur 35 lead to my purchase of Keepall 50 also in Azur. I'm now officially an Azur Addict

I am facing the same dilemma myself. My birthday is coming up and I'm trying to decide between the azur and monogram speedy. I'm almost certain that I will go with the monogram because the azur is succeptible to color transfer from denim, which i wear a lot of! I love the azur but I would freak if I ruined it ush:

LV MONO!!!!!!! its classic!!!!! my god!!!! audrey hepburn! bag 1932 mono speedy 30! it started it all hihih

Audrey Hepburn carried the 25.

I recommend either the ebene or mono. Don't like azur with patina or jeans transfer.

 

[msfortysomethin]

I would get the mono first. Its just a classic. Like Chanel. My first bag from a different designer, I always get the classic first then venture out to the different styles and patterns.

The Speedy 30 in Damier Ebene was my first LV and I'm really happy I made that choice. Ebene is very low maintance and looks good with everything.

I would go for Ebene. The Speedy 30 in Ebene was my first LV and it was a great choice because the bag is very versatile and you won't have to worry about the vachetta. I also have the Speedy in Azur but I don't use that as much because I'm always worrying about colour transfer and stuff like that when I'm using it.

I just got the Damier Ebene in the 30 and love it. If keeping the vachetta clean is a worry I would go for for the Ebene.

 

[needlv]

Damier Ebene. No issues with colour transfer against jeans, or stains on the handles.

Damier Ebene! Good Luck!

Damier Ebene - such a classic!

 

[LeahLVoes]

I would get ebene first and next spring the azur...
