Question for you Speedy pros-
Why do some speedy’s have a slip pocket in front and others don’t? Is it based on the year?
Thx!
Thanks so much for your “speedy” response. Yes, the slip pocket in front.And the newer ones no longer have feet right?
Any one who knows if the speedy impriente is discontinued?
The classic and bandouliere versions of the Speedy, including canvas, epi and limited edition models, do not have an exterior pocket. Nor do they have feet. The empreinte Speedy has one exterior pocket along the side. The empreinte has been discontinued so you’d have to go the preloved route if you want one. The most recent leather one is all lambskin, but that one doesn’t have pockets either.
 
How do you wear a new Speedy with vachetta handles crossbody? Do you put the handle on the back towards your body down or up? is it comfortable? is there color transfer from rubbing against your body?

I don't typically wear my Speedys crossbody, but I wear them on my shoulder. I always wear the handles down against the bag. I haven't had my mono one long and haven't used it much so I can't comment as to the color transfer. Hope that helps.

I asked this question on the price increase forum as well. Question:

Do you think the Speedy B30 Mono is still worth the price increase of $1680?

I’m lacking this bag in my collection and seem to always find a excuse not to purchase and always end up getting something else. I currently own a vintage Speedy 25 but my daughter has taken it over. I was thinking of the 30B for the crossbody and I love the slouch look. It is such a classic but not sure if I need or want for this new price. I want to make a decision before the next round of increases. Any opinions welcome :)
