I'm thinking about getting a mono 25B but I'm a little worried the handles might get color transfer from my jeans when I wear it with the long strap. Has this happened to anyone?

I have a DE 30 already, but I've always liked how the mono looks, and I want something smaller.

I have a mono 25b and I have never had any issues with color transfer on the vachetta.

I had a little bit of colour rub onto the leather when I wore with black jeans. The leather was very new and hadn't developed much. I just used a new, white eraser and carefully rubbed it off.
 
Can you post a pic crossbody? I'm still so torn 25 or 30...
I'm having the same issue. I have a classic speedy 30 which I like the size but I purchased a speedy b25 and tend to use it all the time because if the shoulder strap.
I want another but torn between the 25 and 30.
I like the size of the 25 but hate the opening. I also tend to fill it and have to half empty it to find stuff.
But I'm worried if I get a 30 I don't want to looking to big as a shoulder bag.
I don't wear the extra piece in the strap and don't wear it cross body.
 
I think either choices is fine. I had tried both 25 b DE and 30 b DE and finally decided on mono speedy b 30. I like the soft strap and I like mono look of 30 b, and this one I plan to keep for a long time so I don't mind of geting water marks, patina etc.

If I had got de I might choose 25b but the strap is so hard and the opening...

I wear mine crossbody.

I have a Speedy B 30 and I only really ever either hand/arm carry or wear it as a shoulder bag (no extra piece in strap).

I am 5'4"/118 lbs and don't find it looks too big at all. As you know probably from your classic Speedy 30, the 30 is a little "smushier" than the 25, so it tends to not hold its shape as well, and I think that reduces the size visually. Especially since you won't be stuffing it, like you do with your 25.

I would probably suggest at least giving the Speedy B 30 a try in store, or ordering and trying at home, since you already have a Speedy B 25 so can easily compare the two. It sounds like the 30 might be a better option for you given your comments on the opening and space needed.
