TPF's do you use a purse organizer or base shaper in your speedy B's and why???

I just put a purseket in my speedy b a minute ago. I needed the extra pockets for organization. It is such a cavernous space in my speedy that I couldn't find a thing. Now it's much more organized, which I love.

I have a DE Speedy B 30 and recently bought the large purseket and red base shaper. I have to say I love it! It adds structure to the bag and organization. I can reach into my bag without looking and pull out what it is that I am wanting. I also think the base shaper adds a little protection to the bottom of your bag for marks or whatnot. My husband who cares nothing about my handbags commented on how my bag looks much better since the addition. I don't feel it added that much weight. I watched many YouTube videos about it prior to purchase and found discount codes from pursebling. Hope this helps!
 
Hey Speedy B owners!

I read some quality issues about speedy b especially in DE. How's your speedy B so far?

IMO..I have some issues with the brass and the zipper pull. They look old or tarnished already!! The strap ring however still shiny but the rests are just bad including the lock and key. The differences are so obvious I wanna faint coz it looks almost fake... I only had it less than a month. I wonder if I should complain to them or bring back to them..... Sighhhhhh I love her but she needs to be changed or something...

Can you post pictures of the tarnished hardware?
If you feel that strongly about it I'd 110% try and take it back and see what they say.

The comparison of the ring on strap and the lock is sooo obvious. The ring attachment on the strap has the same color as my alma hardware, it remains shiny all the way, i have never taken her off since i used her. But everything from lock to zipper pull and the ring that is on the bag has all been discolored. My zipper pull already has 2 small scratch on the side and discolored. Unlike the ring on the strap it looks the same... Oh welll

Mine is the same way. Let me know what they say. I just thought that's how it is suppose to look. I didn't know there was a shiny lock.

I have both the purse organizer from pursebling.com and a base shaper. I haven't use the base shaper yet. I kinda like a little bit of sag but not too much. The organizer is very helpful and it has additional pockets so it's alot easier to find my stuff when I need it. My speedy 35 B fits great on my shoulder. I haven't use it as a crossbody yet but I will someday. :)

Well, they don't do nothing bout it. They said its normal for the lock to tarnish yeah we all know that, but the point is the quality is bad. And the hardwares on the bag are not consistent, one looks new, some hardware looks old.... I end up leaving my bag for heatstamp, I don't feel like arguing coz what am gonna do... I've used her anyway... I just hope the next batch of the spedyB model that they will be producing has all the same consistency of golden color. I've noticed the newer versions have golden color and shiny all around... Which I like actually coz always look new

Speedy B or Trevi PM...??? can't pick

I own both & prefer the speedy b since I'm more casual. The Trevi is beautiful but I filled it up too easily & weighed it down. I love the 3 carrying options with the speedy b. I use the Trevi for more formal/dressed up occasions.
 
I love my Speedy B35! Since I was on the fence for sometime (with normal speedy 35), I wanted to post some more pics of it to show how versatile it really is!

I don't know if anyone else does this, or would do this but I used the strap on my pochette! So heres a quick day to night outfit change I did today. ;)

blog for more pics
instagram for fun!
Hi, I love your pics, great modeling. Can you do a close up of your pochette with the speedy B strap on??

thanks hun
