The Speedy Gonzales Club!

[Love_N_Lune]

I shared already in the June purchases thread but wanted to share here, too! I ended up getting the Speedy B30 yesterday and I looooove it. I tried on the 25 but it was just a bit too small, I think the 30 is just right for me. So excited to finally have my first LV bag!! For reference, I’m 5’6 and wear 14/16. Thanks for letting me share! View attachment 4754101

The Speedy 30 looks great on you. Congrats!!

btw, I noticed your Sam Eldeman sandals. I was looking at some color ways but one review said the beads fell off. How are your sandals holding up?

Thank you!!
I LOVE them. This is my second pair. My last pair was black with gold beads and I completely wore them out, like the bottom was coming apart. I think I had them almost 5 years! Beads stayed intact, too. Totally worth it!

It depends on the speedy. With my MWT 30b I use one but with my regular speedys I like the sag! I have a Samorga organizer and a few purchased from Etsy and Amazon. They all do the same thing and there is really no difference in quality. I am impatient and really don’t like to wait 4 weeks for the Samorgas so now I order them from Amazon since I have Prime!

Would you be able to post a link or maybe the seller’s handle for the organizers you’ve ordered from Amazon? I’ve heard amazing things about Samorga but hate that I’d have to wait a month (or maybe even longer with the state of affairs with COVID) for my items to come in.

I have 25B and there isn't much sag so I go without the extra weight of organizers. I keep all my items in various slgs that I can feel around for and know what I am grabbing

I just looked on Amazon and I can’t remember which seller I ordered from. You can’t go wrong with any of the felt ones. I look for the inside pockets that are removable and a velcro bottle holder if you want to carry a water bottle or stash sunglasses in that pocket. I also ask for one side to have one outside pocket instead of two so I can carry my kindle or iPad. I think Etsy is more accommodating for those requests. Again, it’s just a felt insert with pockets to organize SLGs, add a pop of color to a black hole, and help with sag. I’ve spent over $50 and less than $30. They all do the same thing. Hope that helps

Joining the club! This is my 19th LV product, but my first mono Speedy. Lol, usually the mono Speedy is the gateway. This is a 30 fresh from the reopened LV store. It was MIF during the 51st week of 2019.

Speedy B30 lovers...Organizer or Bag Sag? What does everyone prefer? If organizer what brand do you use (comment links to them below)! TIA my LV peeps!

I have an insert (organizer without any pockets) in my Speedy B30 and love it! It is from 47th Heaven on Etsy and is canvas rather than the usual felt, which is less stiff and does not make my Speedy appear too structured.

Does it add any weight to your bag. I’m very interested in this!

It really doesn’t add any weight, and matches perfectly,

Are you in the US? I’ve been searching for a MIF speedy 30 monogram forever!

Yes, I am! I’m in the DMV. Are the MIF ones hard to come by?

 

[Love_N_Lune]

Yes, usually monogram/popular canvas pieces sold in USA are made in USA.

I think mass COVID breakout in US has encouraged LV to use European factories, which also would explain the challenges with online availability.

Thanks for responding! I’ve honestly been looking for years! Lol! Glad you got it! There’s hope!

Makes a lot of sense because I’ve made three online orders since sheltering at home (key pouch, Victorine, and cosmetic Pouch) and all three have been MIF. I guess I lucked out with the Speedy bc that one was purchased in store- Saks in Chevy Chase.
