THX. I'll def check out that thread. Love the azur but am afraid of what will happen when wearing it crossbody.

That's one reason I did not buy the Bandouliere. I figured there would be less chance of color transfer if it was carried in the crook of my arm. So far I've worn it with everything but jeans. I'm very careful with all my pieces, so this one isn't getting any extra treatment. Got to say, I really am enjoying the look of this canvas. It's so refreshing. It won't be just a seasonal bag for me as I live in Florida.

Anyone want to post modeling shot of speedy b25 on monogram as cross body ? I sold my 35 speedy b a year ago because it was just too big. Headed to Hawaii in a few weeks and am just craving a cross body. I don't want to wait months for the pochette metis. How are you ladies and gents liking your speedy b 25's?

Has anyone who has had their Speedy Damier Azur B awhile now had any luck with maintaining the lighter color of their vachetta? Any tips? I love the look of a new Speedy DA with the light vachetta. I'm trying to cover mine with a light scarf if it is sitting in my car to minimize sun exposure on the canvas and vachetta. I know it is inevitable that it will patina. Just want to postpone as long as possible. TIA

I have the DE and love it. Use it all the time. Mostly cross body. I did get an extra hole punched in both straps to make it longer.

I have the DE and love the speedy b 25. My favorite bag to use. I use it everyday and always wear it crossbody. It's so easy to wear and is very comfortable. To me it's the perfect size. I had it in a 30 and sold it for the 25. So much happier with this size. I'm thinking of getting it in azur or mono. Leaning more towards mono due to keeping the canvas cleaner. Good luck to you!

Good question. I just got my Speedy 30 last week... and my Neverfull GM about 2 weeks before. I too put a lot of thought into the "Speedy Strap Conundrum". I opted not to get the strap based on the following: My Neverfull is a shoulder bag that can hold a lot of stuff if I need to carry everything in the universe (or not) - The Speedy can hold a lot, but I doubt when I use it I will over load it; which would then make it so heavy I would wish for a shoulder strap. I decided I would only need to carry the Speedy when I wanted a more classic look and profile. Big shopping days would dictate carrying the Neverfull.

Which canvas are you going to get?

I was thinking the way you were when I was planning to purchase my speedy. I went with the speedy b 30 in DE. And I'm so glad I got the strap. I don't carry a lot but it always feels like I have bricks in my bag. Lol the strap comes in handy when need it the most and I don't carry my bag for long periods durning a normal day, only on my commute to and from work.

I need a monogram bag and I'm trying to decide between a Speedy B or a Neverfull MM. I'm not afraid of keeping the vachetta pristine like I am about the DA canvas... So for you, the Speedy feels good to carry with the strap?

I have never used mine without the shoulder or crossbody strap. Just recently sold the saleya pm because it was only a handheld bag and it was making me crazy to not easily put it on my shoulder. I prob only used that bag 5 times in the 11 years of owning it. Good luck with what you decide.

I think I've narrowed it down from Empreinte Speedy to a Canvas Speedy B 25 but now I have to decide on canvas: mono or DE.

I've been looking online, YouTube etc but can't make up my mind.

I own a NF MM in DE and a Pochette Metis in Monogram.

I like both bags equally! I will mainly use her xbody or on shoulder. Any recommendations?
