Exchange her, it would bother me. I know no bag is perfect, but you are paying big bucks for LV.

I'd exchange that too for that shallow print. Don't worry, they'll exchange that for sure and this time double check everything. The piping, the print, the hardwares and most of all the canvas. I've had 2 exchange experiences in LV the first one, i was so nervous at first but if you know that your reasoning is legit, even the SA won't even ask. Oh and its better if you go there first thing in the morning. Goodluck and for sure you'll find your best speedy. :)

Thank you so much for your advice. I had my bag exchanged already for another one and this time i checked each and everything. :)

Here are some photos of her. :)

OMG, I was pretty much set on the 30 until I saw your pics with your 25. It looks fantastic on you!

I am the same way, I don't like my bags to be filled to the top, and love my galliera to have some extra room to smoosh :smile1: So do you think the 25 and the galliera have about the same amount of room?

Aww, thanks! :tender:

The Galleria PM definitely has a much larger capacity overall BUT for the smooshed slouchy hobo look, the same amount of items fit well.

If you were set on the 30, you should go with your instinct. Especially since it is for travel as well! Not really that much difference between the 30 and 25 and they both look great on. I just decided on the 25 since my other bags are bigger and I already had a 30 speedy.:speedy:

You can't go wrong with either bag. Good luck on your decision! :flowers:

Hi there! I was wondering if anyone had any tips on keeping their untreated vachetta clean? My husband just got me a Speedy B 30 as an advanced V-Day / Birthday gift and have been enjoying her for the past week and a half now. However, I'm noticing dirt on the leather and am now worried. The SA said not to use anything but I've been hearing a lot of LV owners rave about LMB protectant and cleaner. Has anyone used this or have tips on how to maintain it? I love the dark honey color but don't want the almost black handles...

Do any of you speedy experts mind helping me out? I am trying to decide between the 25 and the 30. As far as interior room, how would you say each size compares to the galliera pm? I want to use a speedy for every day, but also for travel so I want to make sure it will hold enough. TIA!!!

I found that that the speedy 25 B is very spacious. It feels like a bag I can use everyday in every situation. The space is incredible inside! You wouldn't believe how much I can fit into it if I had to... I'm not the type of girl that crams a lot of stuff that I don't need, but IF I had to take extra things, say I was travelling or a young mom and needed to pack in an extra bottle and diapers...it would FOR SURE hold it without issue. It's a light weight canvas bag that has so little weight to it as it is that you're possessions become the only weight you have to deal with. I found the 30 TOO LARGE. Feels like a bag that will make me HAVE to fill it up in order to look like I have anything inside it, so the sides don't just cave in...lol. If you're a person that carry's everything but the kitchen sink in your bag then get 30 or over. All the speedy's are awesome, but it's gonna depend on your lifestyle. (And also your size...if you're small you might prefer a smaller size..if you're tall a larger one may look better against your body...). I can't tell you how awesome that bandouliere is too...sometimes going hands-free is a must and with the band it's made life that much the easier. ;)

Leave the bag on a shelf. The vachetta Will get an even tan. I takes a few weeks.

Hi everyone question I just bought the regular speedy de and I can still exchange haven't used her yet am highly considering the speedy b in de just want to know how they are holding up and are they the same quality as the regular speedys? Any problems with them? I don't mind
Spending the extra $300 something at all if it's worth it I would get a lot more use out of the strap then the regular handheld advice please!:) thanks

Hi there, I'm not sure if you already received a response to your reply or if you decided to keep or exchange your speedy... IMO, the speedy b is totally worth the extra $. I was initially set to get the regular speedy but after trying on the speedy b, it just seemed so practical. I've had mine for almost a week (monogram) and found myself using the straps ALL the time. I just love the modernized look of the speedy b. :). Also, I'm a mom of an 18month old - so I can only imagine how difficult it would be to have my daughter with me and carry a speedy. Good luck on your decision. :)

I was wondering how often you all carry your speedy b by the shoulder strap and if it cuts into your shoulder? I'm used to a wider shoulder strap. In fact I only carry shoulder bags but something about the speedy b 25 de is delicious!

I was worried about this too, especially after using my Delightful which has a nice wide strap and is super comfortable. I thought I'd never find another shoulder bag as comfortable. I ended up buying the Speedy B 30 DE and I love it! Super super comfortable and no slipping off the shoulders. If you like the look of it then go for it! You won't be disappointed.

Thank you! :smile1: I'm trying to decide between that , a sully, and a portobello. An almost I possible decision ! A speedy would be so nice to have but I'm such a shoulder bag girl ......with young children!

I can't comment on the sully or portobello as I don't have them, but probably others in the various clubs here will have opinions and maybe some YouTube videos will help. If you have young children and decide on the speedy then definitely get the Speedy B as the strap will be a huge help. My children are teens but I still have to carry a big bag as they'll often ask me to carry their wallets, bottle of water, etc at the shops. It never ends! :laugh:
