Anyone ever tried to replace the strap the speedy b comes with? Wondering what they would charge and if it's even possible? I know they sell straps but none are the exact one like speedy b 3 piece strap just curious of cost.


I've done this. It was $175 and ordered as a replacement part. Some SAs will only let you do this if you own a Speedy B, though.
 
So funny you mentioned them I have been looking at their site on etsy and thinking about it - can you post pictures or mode shots with it in there? Do you think it would fit the delightful rings too? I'd love to be able to use it for both and that price is soooo much better too!!!

I've just taken some quick and dirty photos of it on my Speedy B 30. It's the exact same width as the original LV strap, I would say the vachetta is very slightly softer, but it is lovely quality. The hardware is nice as well, and it is the same colour as the hardware on the original strap. The hooks are nice and big and I'm pretty sure it would fit on a Delightful. Hope that helps.

You're welcome - I think it's definitely worth having a spare to save constant wear and tear on the original strap. In my experience, the strap is always the first thing to show signs of damage/use.
I agree - that's what I love about having the monogram strap as that it wears so nicely but wished I also had the vachetta one but not sure I want to pay lv for it or go through hassle of asking in store since I bought the speedy b preloved -/not sure how they will respond. Love finding mcraft strap option!!!
 
Hi everyone, I just got my Speedy B 30 in DE a few days ago and loving it! I have a 25 in DE as well and noticed today that the zipper on the 25 is a lot smoother than the one on the Speedy B 30. It just feels like it needs a bit of a tug. I wasn't sure if it was the cool weather or something that was making the zip a little harder to pull, but has anyone experienced this as well and taken their bag back to the store? Is there anything the store could do?

Mine is indeed the new model Speedy B, I'm not sure when they made the changes (about a year ago I think) in fact there is a specific thread about it. The changes aren't huge, the handle tabs are a little different and the inside pocket has a zipper.

Try rubbing wax paper over the zipper several times back and forth and see if that improves it. I did that to a clemence wallet with amazing results. If there is an actual catch in the start of the zipper, you may want to go back to the boutique and get their advice. I did exchange a new cosmetic GM because there was a catch at the beginning of the zipper that I thought would bother me. The SA was very accommodating.

Just tried the wax paper and it improved the zipper tremendously! Thank you! :smile1:

Nice! Can you order the strap longer from mcraft? I'm thinking I'd like it maybe 2 inches longer for crossbody option.
 
Bought this speedy b in January. After a month I regretted purchasing it because I felt like I didn't "need" 3 speedy B's. It sat in my closet for months, just took it out today. Love this little guy[emoji7] 1460329235798.jpg

She is a cutie indeed !! 💞💞💞I've been debating for months as to which print to get ( Mono or DE??) and being that it's spring/soon to be summer and after seeing this pic I think I'm getting it in mono first it's the perfect time to get its beautiful patina game on .. And then maybe for the fall in DE .. I think thats smart right ?? 😂😂😂
