I have noticed that on some DE bags! I was hoping they wouldn’t do that to the classic speedy.

Are both of these yours? I love the look of the older DE but someone said that the new model is better, less treated and won't have the wrinkles. If you own the new one, I would love to hear about your experience.
I would be less concerned about the matte leather and more concerned with the popped and wonky stitching on the chap!
I don’t like it. Saw one yesterday and strap was so wrinkled up. It is softer but then that means wrinkles easily
Picked this up yesterday. I wish it were a 25 as this is too big for me but I’ll figure something out hopefully
I bought the new one yesterday, brought it home and found a stitch undone, so I returned it today. My SA is going to keep looking for me when a new shipment comes in.
Can I please ask what is this? I know it’s a Speedy, but like the black trim.
Thanks!
My World Tour Speedy, which you can buy online or in store. You personalize it how you want with stickers, initials, black trim or vachetta trim, etc.
I am considering a Speedy B 35 in azur. I have the same bag in ebene and it is perfect for me in every way.
I will be my first new bag with vachetta, and I don’t want to treat it with anything. I want it to patina naturally and I am not worried about waterstains. I find them to give character.
But I am worried about the handles getting almost black/grey patina as I have seen on some bags (though on original Speedy, not B).
I use my bag as a shoulderbag most of the time. The rest is in the crook of my arm. I only carry it by hand very few times (getting out of the car and so on). I never have bare arms (only on vacation, and I would not bring the bag there). So it will be touching fabric and not skin.
I know there isn’t a guarantee, but does it sound like it would get those dark handles easily?

I'm curious about the patina too. I also have a DE Speedy. I would like to own a Speedy in the three standard prints. I agree with you, it is perfect for me in every way!
I finally bit the bullet and part exchanged my monogram Deauville for this Speedy 30 Azur. I just found I was never using my Deauville and as all my other pieces are monogram it's nice to have a change and let someone else get more use out of her.
Apologies for the photo quality, the patina is a lovely uniform honey colour.
Now to use her....

I think I asked this question in some forum but can’t seem to find it, so I’ll ask again... a friend said she loves Speedy and I wanted to gift her a Speedy 30 in mono. My question is, do any of you use inserts? I guess I am wondering about the bottom bottoming out. I have a Speedy 30 in empriente (and really wish they would make more, I really need black!!!) and don’t have that issue. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
