Which color did you get? I think the azur is the thinnest and has plastic feel to it. However, I have a speedy 35 in azur and I love the look

I'm just looking for an opinion. I live in the US and my son bought this bag for me in Rome in Nov. It's the Speedy B 25. I absolutely love it. I noticed there is a small bit of the dark brown color that seems to be a defect in the pattern on one of the squares. Part of me wants to complain (too late) and the other part of me feels like it gives the bag character. I did take it in to the store and they said it is just a color defect but there is no damage to the canvas. I feel like it gives the bag character and I love that it's a made in France. I just want to continue enjoying and use it. Has anyone ever seen this before? Thanks. I love this forum!
So I had to really look to even find it. Like really hard. I always notice all the small issues with my bags. My husband always says"no one will even notice it". And I love your use of the word character. Like my newest bag had some dimpling at the top of the bag. It's really minor and seems to just happen with canvas. But I got all anxious. My husband purchased the bag on a business trip to Norway. It's special to me because he went out of his way to buy it. So back to your post. It's just character of the bag. It's wearable and no one will ever notice it.

Thanks so much for your response. I appreciate it. My husband also says just enjoy it and don't look so closely. It meant a lot that my son and daughter in law bought if from Rome and I didn't want to exchange it. THX again for your response. I'm just going to continue to enjoy the bag. I love it so much I'm even thinking of getting one in monogram.
You'll have to show us some mod shots using the pretty 25.
I agree! It was a gift, MIF, from Rome, and beautiful. Enjoy your Speedy.

Thank you! I try not to be too anal, but guess I am. I'm loving the bag. My favorite of any so far.
Um.....nope LOL!
I bought two 35's at one time due to the versatility. Money well spent IMO.

I also had to look really hard to see it. No one is going to notice except you as it is so tiny. Enjoy the gift. It's beautiful!
Thank you so much. I am just going to ignore the slight imperfection. I was at the mall today and stopped in to LV to inquire about purchasing a key bell clochette to add to the bag. I had heard you could only get one if you owned an Alma but the SA at the boutique in Bloomingdale's let me purchase one for $60 and had it in stock. What a nice surprise. She even put it in the LV dust bag and a beautiful LV box. It looks great on the Speedy 25. Doesn't take much to make a girl happy!
That's great! Would that Bloomie's happen to be in NY and NJ? I would love love love to get a clochette for my DE Speedy B 25!
It was the Tysons Corner Bloomie's in Northern VA. The SA's are super nice in that store. I've purchased and browsed in that store and always get treated well. Good luck to you in getting one. Let me know if I can help at all.
