Beautiful bag!

I'm thinking of getting one just like this for my next investment bag..I hope you don't mind if I ask you a few questions for research.

How do you like this bag overall? Did you get the bandolier/ do you feel like the bandolier version is worth considering? Anything particular you like/ dislike about the style when you're using it?

I appreciate any information you're willing to share! Thanks for showing off your beauty!

Thank you.

This is the classic Speedy 30 in DE, which I bought long time ago, before the bandolier was introduced or it was already, but I was not probably aware of it at that time. Just like any new bag, I wore this bag regularly; was my “go to” bag. It is still in pristine condition despite its usage. I use it as is,or sometimes crossbody using the LV strap that I purchased, whenever I was feeling lazy and wanting hands free. However, I have not used it for over a year until today. Just took it out from the dust bag today, as am trying to rotate my bags.

Do I feel like Classic Speedy is worth buying? Yes, coz it is a classic , so it will never be dated. I still like it, but I liked it more a few years back. I have not been reaching for it, as I have in the past. Currently, I have been leaning towards crossbody . Do I feel like bandolier is worth considering? Absolutely! I am actually buying Speedy B 25 next week, or the following. I have been planning to buy one since few weeks ago, but has been holding off momentarily coz I just bought the Pochette Metis last month. I thought the urge is gonna go away, but it’s not. So, I’m buying.

You can never go wrong with the classic or bandolier, as they are both LV classic bags. I guess it boils down to your personal preference— handheld or crossbody. One thing is sure though, one Speedy is never enough. Once an individual have the classic, she would want it in different finishes. Some May want the classic when they already have the Speedy B and vice versa. So, beware if this is your first designer bag purchase. LoL

Thank you for the advice!

I'm thinking of getting a Speedy 30 in DE like yours. I tried one on at the LV store near me a little while ago, but I just couldn't decide on the bandolier. I want the bag primarily for hand/arm carry, but I think I might still go for the bandolier version because there are times (like grocery shopping or when your hands get full) where it's convenient to have the long strap to carry the bag with temporarily.
