My latest but oldest vintage Speedy 25. It’s from January 1988 and that makes it 36 years old now!!

Been well loved, used and abused. The leather is cracked and dried out everywhere but the canvas still holds beautifully ā™„ļø

Hello everyone. I’m new here and I’m not sure how to start a thread but I need some help.
I just purchased a looping gm with a date code of Dec 2000 and I have noticed some small cracks on the canvas. I know I can’t replace it or get it fixed. I’m paranoid now about using this bag but it is my favorite. Are the cracks going to get worse? Should I keep using it? Please help 😩

I was all set to sell this baby but I'm so pleased I didn't. She's been in my collection for years and years, bought preloved, but I always seem to favour my 30's. After using a new cleaning product called 'Peek' on the hardwear (my husband uses it on our classic car metalwork) I'm thrilled with how she has turned out. Speedy 25 from 2002. Now a keeper! x

I have a Speedy 30 from 2007 that I knowingly purchased with two similar cracks along the top by the zip. It's my everyday grab and go bag and I don't mind using her whatever the weather etc. The two cracks have never worsened. I keep the bag clean and condition her regularly but I'm not afraid to carry a ton of things inside and the weight hasn't made any difference to the cracks either. Enjoy your bag x

Thank you ! I’m glad to hear the cracks haven’t worsened! Thant makes me feel soooo much better and more confident. I did condition her and have still been using her! I just love it so much I don’t want to look at it I want to carry it 🤣
