I love them too, but afraid I would just keep it on display for looking rather than using. And that's a lot of money for... Basically a piece of art!

I prefer this Classic one over the Speedy B because It's the classic the original . I just LOVE the original for it's true design with no add-on . I have gone shopping with my Classic Speedy 25 in Mono so I know what I am getting myself into . Lol
I have seen some you tube reviews where they say they regret not getting the strap.
I just think that's a matter of preference. To me personally even the size 25 looks funny just hanging on to the body. Also if you put enough stuff in it I can picture it sagging, hanging in the middle part of the bag since it is attached with the strap on both ends. I prefer keeping it as it was first made , the original it does not bother me much if I have to hold it onto my wrist or arm even when I go shopping. =)
Just received my new baby today I am so excited Iher.
Hearty congratulations, it’s a good buy—even after several years, this bag will still look new.
The strap on the Speedy 25b didn’t fit me well, and I found it uncomfortable, which is why I bought a classic and a LV adjustable strap at the same time.
The separate straps are made better and are narrower
Hi guys..I’m new to LV, hope someone can help answer my concerns. I recently bought a speedy b25. I just inspected it at home & there’s two things I’ve noticed:
1. A crease / bent on the leather on the side of the bag (see right side of photos attached) where I think may be a pressure point with the bag folded.
2. Wrinkles in the inside of the handle. Tricky to capture in the photo but u can feel it easily when u run your fingers through.
Is this a normal or a deal breaker? Should I exchange or will I just get that with another speedy? Please share your thoughts! Thanks [emoji1317]

My handles have wrinkles like that. It’s not a big deal to me. The creases will come out once you start using the bag.
Thank you so much for your reply, Sparklett22! What about the bend in the leather on the side of the bag? Is that a normal feature of a new bag?
I didn’t even notice until you pointed it out. Yea, I would take it back on the bend. Over time and use, you might get a bend like that but not a brand new one. If they have a better one without the wrinkles on the side, I’d get that. Good luck!
Ok thanks hun! Hopefully the exchange will be fuss free..
Hello, everyone! I finally joined the club! [emoji322]
I noticed though that there are some cuts on the leather handle though. May I please have your thoughts on this? Is this normal or will this lead to the leather cracking in the future?
Please accept my apologies as I couldn’t get a good picture of it.

I did own the speedy 35, but like you, I too am only 5’ tall and sold it last year. It was just too ridiculously big on me for an everyday bag. I wanted it to be perfect, but the 30 is much better on me.
