Would you buy the Speedy?

I've always wanted one but until now have not been able to afford it. Is it 'Out'?

It's a classic! Buy one, if you've always wanted one you know you will love it. Go and have a play with one, go home and think about it and if it's love you will know Grin

I agree - it's a total classic. I would like the Speedy Bandouliere which is the classic Speedy but with a shoulder strap. Looks younger and more casual and less 'lady who lunches', if you know what I mean. The bandouliere version is more expensive though.

I saw the bandouliere actually. The strap is appealing when I'm trying to strap my toddler in the pram or car! Will be visiting LV for a play soon :) x

I've got the LV Alma Epi in black. It's a classic much like the Speedy. I very much like the understated elegance of Epi. Have you considered Epi?

I agree that the strap would be v useful as mine doesn't get much use now with 2 kids.

Yes alma epi is lovely but slightly out of my price range. Has you seen it in red? Gorgeous!

I have one, I really like it. Had it for nearly 10 years and still use it nearly every day.

MadisonMontgomery · 15/05/2015 14:52

I ordered the speedy 30 the othee day, can't wait for it to arrive. Nearly got the bandoliere but don't use shoulder straps enough to be worth it. I know some people think LV is tacky but don't care - wanted one for ages Smile

PicnicPie · 15/05/2015 14:53

It is pretty expensive now. I got mine when it was only £525!

If you've had your heart set on speedy, go for it. It's not 'out' it's def a classic. Just don't get it in the monogram!!

Online it says the 35 is £525 - That's the one I want.

Aww but I like the monogram??

OP posts:
PicnicPie · 15/05/2015 14:58

I was referring to the Alma being 525 when I got it over 10 years ago.

Get it. But do go into store and check out the various sizes and materials.

I got one last year and absolutely love it. Definitely go for it

bereal7 · 15/05/2015 15:05

Nooo they will never be out. Personally, I think they look tacky in the monogram print. I'd get one in DE ...and off I go to stalk Louis Vuitton

Redglitter · 15/05/2015 15:06

Monogram gets my vote Smile
it looks great

What's DE?

OP posts:
Stepawayfromthezebras · 15/05/2015 15:42

DE's Damier Ebene - the brown checkerboard pattern. I prefer it to the monogram but different strokes innit

Ahh yes, I see it now. Off to LV for a feel!

Tell us how you get on and which one you come back with Grin

Cheesymonster · 15/05/2015 16:41

I'm eyeing up the bandouliere in the Damien ebene. But a little voice inside me is telling me I'm nuts to pay that much for a bag that isn't leather. But I turn 40 this year and want to treat myself - also considering an Alexa.

Let us know what you get OP Smile

I'm turning 40 too, but not til Jan 2016! So perhaps I'll just feel until closer to the time! I don't mind that their not leather. I have the papillon which I used a lot about 15yrs ago but not much since and it's still looks really new.

TobikkoRoll · 15/05/2015 17:11

Ha! I'm planning on getting a Speedy for my 40th too Cheesy and MrsWhirling. I like the Monogram or what's the pale bluey one? With a strap. Going next week to have a drool Grin

I bought a monogram 25 speedy about 15yrs ago and I still use it now!

WhiteConverseSkinnyJeans · 15/05/2015 21:07

I had a monogram Speedy 30 for my birthday a couple of years ago from dh. and I loved it at first, but I just started noticing there was just too many copies about, I felt like people would assume mine was fake too

so I sold it Blush
