Hello everyone
I got my very first LV in May from a luxury consignment store in Amsterdam that my boyfriend bought back for me. I got a Speedy 25 in monogram, she's 19 years old and I think she's in great shape. The inside is spotless, no stains or anything - the only thing aged is the outside leather pieces, especially the handles but they aren't too bad either.
My question is would you replace the handles on a vintage Speedy or any LV for that matter? I'm debating it for when I can afford it down the road. I'm kind of thinking I should just leave them because the handles are part of it's history. Below are some attached pictures of my Speedy
