Just wanted to let everyone know that I was able to order my Speedy 25 in the Damier Azur Canvas today! I placed it through the LV Concierge Link that I found here on Purseforum. I first made contact with the Service on Monday 4/26 and they advised me that “an opportunity may update within the next two weeks”. And lucky for me that opportunity came today! They really were Great to work with.....
Thats awesome! Congratulations!

I would love some advice: I’m thinking of spraying my Speedy B 30 in Mono with Apple Garde to protect the vachetta. I read somewhere to use two coats on it and to cover the canvas while spraying. What are your thoughts on treating with Apple Garde? I have other LV pieces w/vachetta trim which I have never treated before. So, this is new territory for me. Thanks!

Everyone says apple garde works on vachetta to prevent stains. It doesnt prevent it from patina but it does slow it down. There might be bunch of videos on youtube.

Any update on your order? Concierge just got back to me regarding purchasing the speedy 30 azur they said its still not available. I hope you get yours soon. Send us pics when you do!
 
Here's a pic of my Samorga insert for my Neverfull MM's in my new Speedy 35. Fits perfectly, keeps a little more structure (which I prefer), and protects the interior. I may wind up ordering the thinner version at some point but this works great with loads of room to spare!

I used AppleGuard on my mono speedy when I bought it two years ago.
- covered the canvas with paper towels held by painters tape, and sprayed the handles and trim.
- wiped dry the metal.
- applied 2-3 coats - letting it dry in between coats.

The vachetta dried completely normal with no blotches. I haven’t used it a lot so the patina has been slow to develop. The one time I was caught in a drizzle, the vachetta did not have any spots.

Since then I have used the Apple Guard on my PA DA and any light colored leather shoes and sneakers. Yesterday, I purchased a strap for my PA so I plan to apply AppleGuard before using it.
