I don't own a mono speedy. I know they are the quintessential LV bag, but I typically go for the road less traveled and I just see too many of them everyday, they kind of lost their specialness for me. I love the versatility and usefulness, I just have never taken the leap. Also everytime I get close a new LE comes out and I have to put the funds to use there! However, I must admit that photo in the celebrities section of Audrey Hepburn with her speedy is truly what elegance and beauty mean to me, so perhaps one day!
