Mautto makes straps that match the vachetta or ebene leather, so does Mcraft on Etsy.
I just looked at Mcraft and they are really good-looking. But if it gets caught in customs, it will be almost the same as a LV strap.

Makes sense. USA doesn’t charge unless it’s over a certain amount. Maybe your country is the same?
but thank you very much for your suggestion 
I wouldn’t worry about it. The bag looks great. Enjoy it. Most likely you will use it for years. Speedys are workhorses.View attachment 4286509 View attachment 4286510
I just recently purchased a preloved Speedy B 30 in Monogram. It is a 2012 MIF bag, in great condition and the price was good. I had noticed a marking near the heat stamp. A round mark but I did not think too much about it as I knew the bag was authentic as I knew both the seller and, for peace of mind, I also had ProAuthenticators authenticate the bag. ProAuthenticators confirmed the bag to be authentic and advised the round mark indicated an LV employee purchase. I asked ProAuthenticators if this negatively affected the future resale value and they said no. At first, I thought this was a good thing as it is further evidence the bag is authentic. But, now I am second guessing whether I should return the bag. Will this be a negative should I later sell the bag? I love the bag. Don’t really have plans to sell it. I don’t want to be overthinking this. Thoughts?

Yes!! Totally worth it.Did you get the vacheta replaced? It looks gorgeous
Here is my xmas gift to me , a 1995 speedy 30. I cleaned her up and think the "cooking smell" is finally gone with a bunch of my perfume sprayed papers sitting inside.! Seller said no smell but she obviously was nose blind! I dont cook so not a fan of deep fry smells. I also made my own base shaper by cutting up bristol board from dollar store! Wearing her tomm!View attachment 4289491 Here is my xmas gift to me , a 1995 speedy 30.

It was honey patina, some marks, but part of character. It was dry, so i put on thick hand cream and squeezed my skin onto vachetta. I did it twice and looks better. Worst was getting smell out, took a few days.How is the vachetta on such a vintage bag?
