So I’ve been on and off the fence about the de speedy 30. Not looking for the b style. It seems that no matter what bag I buy and love this bag is always on my mind. I know I’m in the speedy clubhouse here but I’ll ask anyway- is this bag still a classic? Thanks for your help!

It's not classic - it's legend. ;) It will never go out of style.

I’m now the proud owner of this beautiful de speedy 25 ❤️ I’ve wanted one for so long, and am so so excited to have it! The size is perfect, and I have to say, I really am liking the de over the monogram.

GRATULATIONS :flowers: !!! I have the same bag and I like it so much :heart:! You can wear it casual with a strap (I have one from Mcraft leather) or more elegant with a beautyful bagcharm and handheld.

Thanks!!! Do you have any issues with the long strap scratching up the hardware? I’m guessing you just clip it to the hardware on opposite sides, right?

I don`t take the strap very often but I like to have the option. My speedy is only 1 year old and I see wear on the hardware - but on all pieces not only where I clip the strap. As I see on the picture you have an older speedy - I think the quality of the hardware years ago was better!

Good to know! I might have to consider buying a strap for certain occasions! And - yes, I was able to find one from 2007. It was in mint condition - no stains or wear anywhere except a few scratches on the hardware! Even the corners were in great shape. I am guessing that the prior owner didn’t ever really use it...

What a great luck! I think in the future I will buy more older (preloved) bags because I´m curious of the quality.

Nice~I just sold my speedy b 25 in DE and am thinking of getting a regular speedy 30 DE instead. I also use a strap with my mono speedy 30. I can't make up my mind between a MWT speedy or the DE regular speedy. I am really liking the handheld look better but I love the black leather with the mono. My birthday is next month so I have some time...or be content with what I have!
