. I have had the range of LV bags in the 30 years I’ve loved the brand. I’ve moved back to classic styles ( and I’m almost 60). I have 2 classic speedy 30s in mono and De. I wear them all the time. I like the light weight and how I feel when carrying one. I like dressing them up with luggage tags and adding a strap when I want to be hands free. I’m a grandma who loves her Louies! My granddaughter points them out on people when we are out shopping together[emoji41]
 
This is the danger of pseudo-expert chat.

Leave the jargon of 'entry level' and 'beginner bags' to marketing depts who know nothing but want to impress.

The Speedy 30 is iconic, as iconic as any other bag from any other brand. No one calls an H Birkin a beginner's bag. Just be happy the Speedy is still relatively affordable.
 
I love the Speedy...especially the Speedy B. The bag never goes out of style and really it's just a great bag all around. Definitely get one...I had two and sold them (Speedy 35 and Speedy B 30). Now you've got me thinking about getting another one :biggrin:...and if/when I do, I will never part with it again.

THIS. Well said!
 
So I find myself wanting a speedy 30 again and I feel like it’s a beginners bag. I had one and sold it lol. I have two Ebene and Azur bandouliere 35s, NF mm I’ve had for probably 9 years, Galleria, a 35 mono Speedy, and two Eva’s. I kinda went to other brands but I just keep seeing 30’s and I want one. Oh and I’m 39 soon to be 40 but I dress very trendy when not at work. What’s everyone’s thought? TIA
A Speedy 30 is great timeless bag!
 
You can never have too many speedys. I love my 35s, but a 30 is really nice for everyday, when you're not carrying the kitchen sink. Just so you know, all the limited edition pieces only come out in the 30. So there must be something magical about this size.

Get it, and add it to your existing collection. :heart::heart::heart:

Hey, I work in Marketing, LOL :)
 
I've owned all 3 canvas speedy's. I eventually sold them but I really regret it. Actually, I sold my entire LV collection year ago. Now, I'm slowly rebuilding. I'm currently lusting after a mono speedy b so it will be my next purchase. They just look so chic....:biggrin:

I love my Speedy 40, and definitely don't consider it a "beginner's" bag. Like others have pointed out, it's a classic and it's iconic. Although for me, the 30 would be too small, but I love that there are several different sizes to choose from with the Speedy. Keeps people coming back for more.
 
Why is a Speedy a beginner's bag? Because they aren't an exotic bag? Cheaper than other bags, which today a speedy is not cheap. Timeless & classic & practical. I think there is a bit of snobbery in some circles about speedys. I love my speedys, my favourite model of LV.
