I have a damier speedy and when I use it sometimes, i see that the leather pull shifts from middle (straight like how its suppose to be), and goes off to the side. and then i will move it back. Its not tight at all.

is this normal? my speedy epi doesnt have this problem, its like the metal zipper part clamps tightly on the leather pull so it doesnt move.

thoughts?

thanks for the input, ive only had 2 speedies so im not sure what the norm is for this problem. but i guess its not a problem, maybe its not meant to be completely tight that it cant move. but my leather pull is still tight, but it "CAN" be moved around, whereas the epi doesnt move at all.

louielover, you should get a small q-tip soaked in 70% alcohol and dab at it until the pen erases. I work in a science lab and know for sure that alcohol will erase all sorts of ink, including permanent sharpie! It won't ruin the vachetta... it may dry it out a tiny bit, but you can always remoisturize it with leather treatment.
I have a luggage piece that mildewed on the vachetta, and when I contacted a leather shop I had to soak it all in alcohol with no ill effects. You can PM me if you need more advice!

I just tried that on my MC Speedy and Onatah Cuir GM...... didn't work AT ALL for the multicolored canvas, but better on the leather Onatah (still had some marks on it)
