Just got a pre-loved classic Speedy 35 in DE (date code circa. 2018). I’m a fan of the DE newer models with matte leather handles/trim. However, this one comes with the old shiny leather.
Can you tell me the wear and tear with the shiny leather? I plan on using this bag strictly for travel purposes, so it will need to hold some clothes, toiletries, etc (no laptop). I tested it out to see how much it fits and I am concerned how the bag handles/chaps hold up over time if the bag gets too heavy.
Thanks!
