I’m a man and 5’11”. I find the 35 and 40 are the only sizes that work for me. I have a Mon Monogram in 40 (bandouliere) and a Monogramouflage 35. Love both. I have always thought I’d also like a 35 bandouliere in DE, but I’m not sure I’d pay what they’re asking for that now. It’s more than what I paid for my customised 40.

Speedy 25b. It’s the perfect size for my daily items and more. I had a 35b when my kids were babies/toddlers but that size is too bulky now. I had a 30b in my last job but I’m now working from home so only need a ’handbag’ rather than work size.

I had bought Speedy 35 & Speedy b 35 several times, turned around sold them, Now I regret a bit should kept 1, certainly wouldn't buy them at current prices now!

I have a 25B in DE and a 25 in DA. I find they're spacious enough to hold everything I typically need. I personally wouldn't get a larger size because if I need to carry more, I would use one of my Goyard totes or Prada backpack.

I have the Prada backpack as well. I love it, but I've been using my LV's a lot more lately.

Brought in my 40 yesterday to LV to get the vachetta replaced and it's going to cost me $900 for all of it, including the replacement of the inside pocket. Ouch! I thought it was going to be a lot cheaper, but I went ahead and placed the repair order anyway. He quoted me 14-15 weeks.

I received a 16 week quote recently and my little Speedy mini came back at week 10.

**********************
I loved my 25 empriente and kick myself for selling it, and had a 25 DA for a short while and somehow found the size annoying. Maybe it was the DA. I don't know. I like it on other people, but it annoyed me in a way I cannot explain.

I adore Cheries, and am quite certain a 25 with cherries would not annoy me at all. Not at all.

I find my 30B DE very useful but often wonder if it would be fun to carry a 35. There are some fine preloved 35s and 40s out there in mono, but that's a lot of logo for me to want to carry.

40 seriously seems like luggage to me, but I don't know, I might dig it.

Very curious how a 40 would work as a work bag. For work, one tends to carry laptops, folders, iPads and the like. Seems like a tote shape is a better work shape. How does your 40 work as a work bag? Does this make sense? I have a Chanel Cerf that is the perfect work bag, but it is a little heavy. Sometimes I think having a lightweight option would be nice (like a NF).

I would use it for work but I don't have the kind of job where I need to schlepp a laptop around. I just prefer to bring my larger bags (Noe and Speedy 40) during the work week where I have it loaded up with everything that I prefer to walk around with. On the weekends I use my Alma BB for something smaller and easier and mostly handsfree for when I want to use the strap.

A part of me wishes I bought the 35 instead of the 40, but I'm not going to buy another Speedy at this point. Especially since I'll be investing $900 with the new vachetta soon lol. I guess I've just always preferred larger bags. I came really close to buying the NF GM, but instead bought the Alma BB. Totally different bag, but I realized I needed and wanted a smaller go-to bag for nights out and weekends.

I have a 40 and I adore it! It just fits everything and then some! I do admit that it turns into a black hole when trying to find stuff but I’m going to get a organizer soon. I love it when I need to bring my laptop to work or need to pack extra stuff. I want to add a 30 to my collection for more everyday use, but honestly I love my 40!! Picture of me carrying it attached:
