My trusty DE Speedy 30 with her two newly acquired sisters: DA Speedy 35 (wanted a different size and didn't feel the 25 or 40 are practical for my lifestyle) & Mono Speedy B 30.

I think I'm one of the weird ones that prefer the look of the classic Speedy over the Bandouliere version. Nonetheless I know I'll benefit from the bandouliere on the latter at some point.
 
I purchased a speedy 30 DE in Nov. The canvas is squishy and not as thick as the old ones. Yesterday I had it pretty full and noticed the red canvas peaking through the thread holes behind the handle loops where it’s attached to the bag. I’m worried about the integrity of the bag and it possibly ripping. I’m concerned that it’s not the work horse I thought it would be. Has anyone else noticed the red through the stitching? Am I concerned over a phantom issue? Has anyone’s DE bag ripped from carrying too much?
Hi, Mine is that way as well, and I also had a Delightful in the DE and you could see some red as well near the stitch holes, I sold that one due to leather trim issues. But I think it is normal to see the red now due to the changes in the canvas.
 
Hi! I just received my speedy b 30 in DE on Tuesday and I wanted to ask if this is normal for the straps running down the sides of the bag? This is still here when it’s just sitting and not being carried. Thanks for your help!

I have that bag also, and mine is not wrinkled but I sorted through 4 of them at the store to find one that was not, the other 3 they had at the time were all like your photo, If you are not happy I would contact the store and inquire. Maybe you can exchange or have that replaced if it bothers you.

I was able to exchange my bag in store to one that didn’t have any wrinkles. The new bag didn’t have the new matte leather although I did see the matte leather on the Siena pm.
 
Bought this cute little organizer for my Speedy b 25. I cut the flap for the water bottle holder out though because i will never use it. Speedy 25 is small but still found that all my items just collapsed to the bottom and had to search through. Love this little organizer!

So funny that the seller is "Roygbiv" - that is how we remembered colors of the rainbow as kids!

Thanks! I was hoping it wasn't something I needed to worry about. The canvas is so different from my older bags.

Congratulations! I prefer the look of the classic Speedy too! I have the Speedy B and love the strap, just wish it wasn't so obvious- once the vachetta darkens, in maybe ten years, I will like it more:):)
