Just wanted to post more ootds with my speedy b! It's definitely my favorite style bag and I'm currently waiting for a preloved speedy b 25 in mono to come through the mail. Since it will already have a nice vachetta I won't have to baby it and it will look gorgeous with a nice honey tan! I'm super excited!!
The damier ebene is size 25
The monogram is size 30

For everyone's reference I'm 5'0 😊
Hope you enjoy! And if you don't follow me on instagram its @heyyy_june I post mostly ootd featuring my lv bags! 😊

Love your casual style and videos! I'm also 5'0 and indecisive between the 30b mono and the 25b in ebene. Which size do you tend to use more as a everyday bag? I got the 30b in ebene since I have small kids. I wanted a carefree bad; however, I ended up returning it because when I put a lot of things the strap was becoming very uncomfortable on my shoulders. I was thinking the mono 30b is more comfortable and I can use it as a travel bag as well. Do you put a lot of things in the 30b mono and do you find it to be still comfortable to wear as crossbody and on the shoulders? Do you use the 30 mainly for traveling? Pardon for so many questions. I only plan to buy just one Speedy and wanted to make the right choice.

Hi ladies, hoping someone could help me. I purchased a speedy b25 in DE about 3 weeks ago and I just noticed this weird round imprint on the shoulder strap. It's actually around one of the holes on the strap. I also noticed a crease mark near the same area. Could someone tell me if this is normal?

I think this is normal. It is typical of this type of treated leather on damier ebene bags. I have seen it on this thread and on YouTube videos.

Well this is my first Speedy and the reason why I never kept a Speedy (bought a DE but returned her) was because it was too squishy and unstructured for me. I'm not sure the Speedy is for me period. I have a DE Sienna that I love, an empriente twice bag, and 2 Epi pochettes. I'm used to a flatter handbag. So to try to answer your question, it is stiffer or more structured then the canvas which is why I liked it. Wearing it cross body feels really awkward for me because I do like flatter bags for that (can't wait for the new empriente PM to arrive!) I think this is more of a handheld or in the crook of your arm bag. But you know what, I still haven't tried my new Epi with the original strap. I think the bandolier strap I bought makes it stick out further. Overall for me, I do like my Epi, I just don't know if I love her. Does this make sense at all? Lol

Thank you! Yes it does make sense! whilst I love the look of an Epi Speedy B, I think if its not comfortable crossbody, it would annoy me too much. Thanks again!

Hi!
I bought my speedy b25 in december and today I noticed that stitches on one handle are more visible than the others.. Now I am afraid that handle will separate from canvas with time. I'll insert the picture, maybe some of you have seen this problem. I don't really know if that is problem at all or maybe normal with these bags?

Looks normal to me. The stitches have to be there.
But I don't inspect my bags that closely, can make one overly obsessive!

:smile:Thank you for your reply. Only that one handle has stitch (red one-upper part on photo) that is more 'out', looks like it is stretched out in some way and if I put more stuff in bag while carrying it by handle it may separate that part of the handle from canvas. At least I thought that it may happen. Because other handle's stitches are not even visible and very well made. I am glad that it is normal. Funny story is that actually my boyfriend noticed that stitch yesterday while looking at the bag! :biggrin: I didn't even inspect bag closely in store when I was purchasing it so I am really far from being overly obssesive.
