Good choice.
I posted on facebook last week that I was getting my first new speedy and hadn't decided what to get. Everyone was telling me to get the Ebene Azur over the monogram- it's classier, it isn't in your face, it's more "me", the handles won't wear, the mono is "cheesy" and everyone has it, everyone will think the mono is fake...yadda yadda yadda...
I went into the store ans *almost* bought it, but in my heart I've always wanted the mono, and the SA looked at me and said, "I can tell that if you don't get the monogram, you won't be happy with your decision."
She was right! I love my mono!
I'd still like to get both of the azurs, but I'm SO glad I went with my heart and not with what everyone else was saying!
