So..I was reading a thread about someone wanting to exchange their speedy B because of the piping and it got me wondering - what are some things you look at before deciding it's the "perfect" one for you?

I have/had a speedy 25 in mono and speedy 30 in DE and speedy b 30 in mono. The things I mainly look at are the threading making sure it's straight and not double stitched and no scratches/scuffs on the leather parts.

I normally look at the print alignment first then look at the stitchings then overall condition, make sure no darkened vacahatta leather and scratches.

Help! On my speedy b 25, the front chap has what looks like two horizontal lines that aren't getting a patina as much as the rest of the chap. Has this happened to anyone else? Any idea why? Thank [emoji175]
 
[emoji47] Reading this made me so sad. I hope you know we would love to see your pictures. There isn't a single one of us that feels picture perfect, hell even our ridiculously expensive bags aren't perfect but we still love them! [emoji4]
Thank you! I'm sad too :sad: There were a few period of time in life I felt great about myself (when I was under $118 lbs), well, didn't last long enough :sad:
 
Thanks for the advice! And the stitching better be perfect lol, I had to exchange the first one I had because of multiple stitching issues!
Guys, the stitching isn't a big issue (well I know we all want a perfect bag but it seems it's a bit more difficult nowadays to get a perfect bag), I have a bag that has such a big issue that I don't even want to talk about it. :sad:

Personally I'd rather be happy and enjoy life than worry about being a certain size and shape. This philosophy also carries over into shoes, you'll never see me in high heels, I value the comfort of my feet, and how I feel way more than how they look. [emoji6]
Guys, the stitching isn't a big issue I have seen quite a percentage of bags have bad stitchings (well I know we all want a perfect bag but it seems it's a bit more difficult nowadays to get a perfect bag), I have a bag that has such a big issue that I don't even want to disclose it. :sad:
Oh no! Now that's sad!

OK, now you see why I'm who I am :p I wears high heels, and they are high, like at least 3.5 inches high to 4.5" or even higher :smile:

Can I please get some advise? I just bought my speedy 30 b in DE. The lock is tarnished and the strap on the inside has rippling. Only on inside. Hearing all this about being perfect but should I exchange? I just got it yesterday.

The lock is tarnished already? kinda of strange. I can't see how rippling is your strap, DE strap is very stiff, so maybe as soon as you bend it, it shows wear more obviously compares to the monogram one. If it's from yourself handling it, then I probably won't exchange it because it will happen to the next one too.

The lock is easily to be re polished though.

Yes it's DE. But I just removed from box like that. I'm wondering if I bought a return. I think I will take it back. I can't see polishing s new purse lock
