Buying my first LV bag from a boutique (I have a preloved Speedy 25 and a pochette) Can anyone tell me what things to look for? I've read lots of threads about quality control issues and want to make sure I get one without issues. I'm debating between Speedy B 25 or 30.

Get speedy B 30. :loveeyes:I used my speedy b 30 for weekends and travels. The size just nice and very easy to maintain. Already 1 year 5 months old but some said it still looks like new.

Just put a base shaper in the bottom. I bought one for each of my speedies from purseBling online. There are many others as well-have been a zillion posts on this too that you can research. Enjoy your new bag!

I got it!! :smile1: Speedy B 30 in Damier Ebene.

What do you ladies to do help with the sagging? I'm 5' and about 120 pounds, and find it looks better on me when more structured.

Congrats! I have the same Speedy and love it. It's such a useful bag. For structure, I'd recommend a Samorga organiser. They also come with a double base to prevent any sag and will also prevent your bag from being a black hole. Samara totally changed my attitude about the Speedy.

I would not recommend base shapers. They can wear out the corners of your bag. There are threads on this on tpf.
There's also loads of threads on the Samorga organisers, you can do a search, but here's one of them

Sometimes I just put a thin hardcover notebook/journal or book in the bottom of my bag, especially my idylle speedy b because that cotton material slouches a lot, and with the book inside it really keeps it shape! Plus, a lot of people already have one sitting around so it's readily available! Also, if you get bored, you have a book to read or a notebook to doodle in!! :D

I've been reading posts in this club for a while and your pictures blew my mind! Your modelling shots are amazing, they make me want to get that bag even more!

I've bought a Neverfull MM in DE on Saturday and I was hesitating between that one and Speedy B 25. I'm glad I chose the Neverfull, because it suits my lifestyle better at the moment, BUT I can't get the image of the Speedy B 25 out of my head now... It was so, so adorable, it's haunting me now LOL. It's definitely going to be my next purchase! I can't wait to join this club. I've promised myself to be on a handbag ban for at least a few months, so hopefully, I will get the Speedy for my birthday in October!

Do you feel that the zip on speedy easy and smooth to open and close?
I feel mine is a bit stiff..
my Eva clutch zip is smooth..and can pull off easily..

Mine is easy to zip. If it still feels stiff after a while. I would probably have it looked into. I did notice the nm speedys canvas is so much softer from the beginning.. I kind of missed my om speedy which had the thicker, sturdier canvas. My nm sags so much ( even with just a few things inside) it's getting annoying lol. Anyone else having the same issues or is it just me?
