LV Speedy B 25 Unboxing (Keep or Return???) 😬 

Why is it so important to you where the handbag is made? Why not focus on the quality of the item?

They keep incresing the price and decreasing quality at the same time! Even fakes can do better nowadays.

I don’t think it’s being picky when it’s pertains to a $1600 item. I would return until they get back to making quality products.

I purchased a tote from Gucci and it came in a shopping bag , then inside was the box with lovely cushioning and tissue paper. LV NEEDS to step up their game!!!

I don't see how people can say you're too picky when you're spending THAT much money on a bag. I would probably do the same with a $20 bag 😂

Louis Vuitton will only learn to provide quality items when customers stop accepting their crap. If you’re not happy, you need to return it, that’s way too much money for a faulty item, regardless of how much you can afford/ disposable income you have. Edit* Having said that, ask your SA about it. Some people have said it should sort itself out in time. Your SA will know how the brand new display stock behaves (for want of a better word).

I would keep it. It’s beautiful. The zipper will straighten and the glue smell means it’s new. But if you don’t like it now you won’t ever, and return. 💕💐

Feel like right now you can’t find a perfect item from Louis Vuitton. It is so annoying. My 2 DE Canvas speedy B all like this kind zipper only the mono one is straight. My leather speedy is straight too. I am thinking maybe the DE canvas is a little bit stiff. Smell is like chemicals right? I never mentioned in my video that my key cle also made in USA, that smell is really bad. I was planning to do the giveaway for that piece, after I smelled it, I just can’t. If someone get that piece, people will hate it. I really feel bad about that smell. So I totally understand your feeling if you want to return it❤️

My thoughts :) 1. The zipper can’t be ‘tight’ as the bag won’t have any room to open. The slight wave in it I see as the same as the wrinkles in the canvas.... once you start using it’ll sort itself out. 2. The smell is quite likely a spray put on in customs due to COVID.... I know places are using chemicals on items posted internationally to kill any virus. 3. There’s a shortage of boxes, ribbons that are made in Asia. This is due to the state of the world right now, not LV specifically. 4. If you don’t love the bag then you’ll know in your heart to return :). Go with your gut. Cheers from Australia x

There is no such thing as “too picky.” These bags are luxury items and they promote their quality over other brands. You pay for the name, but you also pay for the craftsmanship. You do not expect faults with these items. Do not except anything less!

Lately i have seen so many who got warped/wonky items, including myself. Returned 4 items already because of that reason or i feel it was already used. 🥺 im picky too so if there is something about the item that bothers me, will return or exchange it.

Return. 💯. I had 4 montaignes that had to be returned. Pretty sure one of them had been heavily used given how scratched up the hardware was. Also had a crooked Pouchette Metis. Personally, done with LV til they can get their act together on quality. Zero packaging. No protection on the bag. Honestly coach does a great job as of late.

the zipper will straighten in time as it was folded that way

Return!! It will keep bothering you...

Congratulations on your new bag 😍 Mine was exactly the same when i first got it! I think the wonky zipper is partially due to the way the bags are squished in the packaging 📦 I absolutely LOVE mine now though! The creases and zipper issue fixed themselves after a couple of weeks of use 🥰🥰🥰

If we weren’t picky, we’d be wearing Walmart crap

Getting a perfect item from LV these days is like winning the lottery... ugh 😭😭😭

waviness will go away for sure! the zipper is alright, it’s just new and you need to break it. smell should not bother you, just air it out. it’s a beautiful bag, I have all the sizes and I love them all!

We are sooo alike! It’s your money and they are not cheap so if you don’t like, something isn’t right or feel right return it. No shame in that.

Hi doll, most Speedy bags have some waves in the zip in the beginning. It works itself out with use. I've had many Speedys over the years, currently two in my collection and the waves are now gone. ;) Good luck with your decision!

I would suggest you return the bag. I believe that when you are paying so much money for a luxury bag, it has to be perfect, free of any flaws or blemishes. Last year I also bought Speedy B 25 with a similar issue. I returned it promptly, knowing I would regret it if I didn't.

The exact same thing happened to me! I bought my Speedy B in a boutique and it had a horrible odor and a crooked zipper! I almost didn’t buy it but I am so glad I did. Made in France and is now perfect after using it!❤️😃❤️

My DE B25 also had the zipper a little wonky initially and I had to let my bag “settle” after being folded up but as I used it the zipper became more aligned and smoother. Hoping that’s the case for you if you decide to keep it!

Oh boy !!! Not sure if I told you about it but I recently purchased the speedy 25b in damier ebene but had to return it because one of the handles had a mark on it and it bothered me, it was a made in France one. While I was in store I was able to get the pochette metis but I honestly hope that I will get the speedy again. Love that bag! I have the speedy 30 in monogram but it's too big for me, probably will sell and buy the 25 since I never carry a ton with me on daily basis. Edit: my speedy that I returned also had a wonky zipper it bugged me too and it was not smooth too.

I have seen some awful made in France bags as well as made in USA bags , like you said no matter where it’s made , today it’s the luck of the draw with Louie lol . I just bought the Iena MM in Damier Ebene and while it didn’t arrive folded , the zipper is not wavy like that speedy b you show here at all . I thought about the speedy b 25 again in DE but I am not a fan at all of the matte leather on the speedy in particular , I prob should have kept my speedy b 25 that was made in France and perfect and also had the more shiny /polished leather . I think the zipper will straighten out but if it doesn’t zip like a smooth Lv zipper I think I would send it back too . Could just be because of it being folded or it’s the reformulated canvas which is softer and is going to cause the indenting because it’s much more mailable today . Thanks for sharing 🥰🥰

Hi! Love your content just subscribed! I recently did a review of my classic speedy b30 de that I purchased preloved when she was about 9 months old. Love mine, no issues with the zipper, mine is super straight soft and mif as well. I would return that little beauty if it’s bothering you. It’s a style that is usually available and not so hard to find so I think you’ll be able to find one that you like. ❤️

If you’re not happy, don’t hesitate to return it. To me, the bag looks like it’s having a bad day.

I think you're over reacting about the zipper. It will straighten out over time, but if it's really bothering you, return it. It's your money after all and it's a lot of money at that.

I don't like the zipper either. I recently purchased online for Kirigami Pochette and Alma BB from LV. Both have been returned due to the quality issue. So disappointed. I would return this speedy if I were you.

Keep returning until you’re completely happy. They’re too expensive to keep if you aren’t 100% satisfied.

1. Return it ....between the wavy ( which actually will probably straighten in time) the smell & price ....bye 👋bye 👋....you’ll NEVER be happy w/ this particular bag. 2. The LV packaging is just awful ....when I asked about the no ribbon 🎀 thing I was told “No ribbon during coronavirus” WHAT? What does a pandemic have to do w/ use of ribbon? SMH 🤦‍♀️ 3. The whole made in France, Italy, USA makes ZERO sense to me ....having lived in all 3 countries ( I’m American, my parents born & raised in Italy 🇮🇹 (Tuscany) & I worked in France 🇫🇷 for 2 yrs) BY FAR ....Americans are much MORE prideful & workaholic in their products ....Italians a DISTANT second & the French just about forget it ....they couldn’t care less about their work ....no pride @ all ...go on strike @ drop of a hat .... NOT everyone & not all the time ....but generally this is so ....I usually hope my LV items say made in USA ( & I’m NOT a flag waving everything has to be made in America person AT ALL) just my experience... Return that bag .....Good Luck

I just wanted to say this video taught me how to inspect the bag before buying it from the boutique yesterday. I'd say the zipper issue is really distracting and will never keep a bag in that condition. Happy I managed to get a Made in France speedy b 25 in our local store here in PH, and this is my first LV purchase too. ♡♡♡♡

I know this video is 3 years old but I just returned this same bag upon receiving it. I know it’s common with LV from what I’ve researched that the hardware doesn’t match but it really bothered me upon receiving it that a brand new bag had such different hardware. But also they had the strap rolled up in the bag and it was already all creased. I ended up getting a preloved one for almost $900 less and it was in better shape than a brand new one from the LV website. It’s so disappointing that a brand with this reputation is allowing such terrible quality issues to go out to customers. The return was extremely easy but the experience was such a let down so I plan on looking for preloved from certain years when the quality was a priority.

Mine was like that but the more you use it the more it straightens out.

Not liking the crooked zipper either. It took me 3 tries before I found the perfect cles. Good luck and don’t settle if you’re not 100% happy!

Hi! I asked my SA and they said they aren’t using a ribbon anymore to have less contact with the boxes due to Covid 😭

Hello my dear no the zipper is not ok , I have my speede 25 and the zipper are strait so I would returned this bag !I send you pictures of my speede and also is maid in France:-)! Thats a real shame that you have to go through this , this is not right !!! Sending my love from Scotland Xxxxxx

I love your being so honest. It’s ok to return. The right bag will make you so super happy AND it will not smell. My Speedy zippers have never been easy to slide.

So I just bought one from the store 2 weeks ago. It is stamped on the side with Louis Vuitton Paris. No “made in ?” Stamp. Does it mean it was made in France or how can I tell?

I exchanged my speedy 20 because the zipper was so scratched the new one is as well 🤦🏻‍♀️ idk what to do I haven’t even used it it’s been 3 weeks since I bought it & two defective bags

i would keep it bc mine was like that as well and after a week or two of using, it straightened out... i think we examine too hard especially being luxury enthusiasts on the internet 😆💕

I got a key pouch like yours made in USA and it was foul smelling also! I put a bit of perfume on a piece of cotton and left it inside to see of that would drown it out. Then later I read online that putting baking inside will help remove smells. So I tucked a tissue inside my cley key pouch with baking soda on top and the zipper open for several days and it actually removed the foul smell for the most part, except it’s left with a faint perfume smell. I wish I would have just tried the baking soda.

return it..I want the speedy 30 but I will get it in store because I want a made in France..I have only orderd over the phone...I have never went into a LV store lol...they need to do better with the packaging and use paper and ribbon..they have sent be items in the dust bag and box no paper no ribbon nothing..these companies need to do better..After I get my speedy thats it for a while

Not normal send it back,I received one from France it was terrible sent it back received one from USA and it was perfectly made.

I don’t judge you, i was obsessed with the cannes bag, ordered it twice from my SA and each time it arrived with the bag feet all scratched up.

If you spend $$$$ to buy buy a bag from a French fashion house, it should come from France. IMHO

Absolutely return. If it’s bothering you now, imagine how much more it’ll irritate you as time goes on. You should get perfection when you’re spending that kind of money. The smell could be to do with a spray to combat COVID. The smell will probably fade in time.

It kills me that they have made in USA bags. No one shopping at a French company wants a USA made bag. Lol

I CANT GET INTO THAT MATTE BROWN LEATHER, I DO NOT LIKE IT AT ALL. I'M VERY PICKY I RETURNED 3 WONKY NEVERFULLS 4TH ONE WAS PERFECT WHEN I SPEND THOUSANDS ON A BAG ,IT BEST BE PERFECTION. AND MADE IN FRANCE OR USA MEANS NOTHING.

I just snagged a pochette Métis online a week ago and they shipped it in the dust bag with no box, just a sitting inside a shopping bag 🙃 I spent 2 grand on a bag with no box. I feel a little silly being annoyed but come on!

For over $1600 you deserve to have a perfect bag! If you look at 9:50, you can see that on the right side of the bag, the top row of stitches by the zipper lines up with the squares, but on the left side of the bag, the stitches are higher and don't line up. The wonky zipper isn't the only thing wrong with that bag and for so much money there shouldn't be any flaws. I'm glad you ended up finding one you're happy with

I can’t believe people. It YOUR money ! Do what makes you happy. Plus the handles looks a little off to me

I agree with Mimi. If you already can’t take your eyes off the zipper before you use it, you will probably keep thinking about it. Return or exchange- the right one would come!

If it bothers you I would return it cause you won't be happy with it especially when you pay that kinda money

This video wound up being A LOT longer than I had planned! 😬 I had a lot to say, apparently! A bit of a rant? A bit of chaos? Confusion? 😆 Thank you for bearing with me - and if you made it to the very end, kudos!! 👏 I would really appreciate your comments down below! 🙏 PS - LV giveaway coming soon!!! 😁

Return....mine never looked like that! I own 3...that zipper would bother me

Wow neat picking to every little thing i felt bad on your fam /husband 💯 period plus ebene looks ugly when it gets old rubbish its easier to see turn black scratches 😅😅😅

i wish lv would stop folding these bags. i had gotten an ebene bag gracefull had an odor strange one,i retuerned it.

its my first time watching your video. i have bad experiences about LV brand new items. I bought an LV PM Agenda online and I found out that the product I received is defective. the ring is not aligned straight so I requested for an exchange. however the second one I got is also defective. the ring is not properly closing. so I decided to just return it and bought myself a second hand piece in mint condition for 75% off the retail price lol. there is nothing wrong in being picky if you are receiving the perfect items for what you have paid for. XOXO I will pay more for a good quality items but of course if its brand new, it shouldn't have any flaws.. imo.

Beautiful bag! The leather looks black not brown.

You’re not being picky! Esp for a designer bag, and the zipper is a very important function- it’ll drive you crazy so I’d recommend returning. I’ve had to return 4 purchases to LV - the quality has been disappointing. And I totally agree with the packaging lately. It looks like it was a returned item (which is fine as long as it’s still considered new) that was quickly checked and thrown in the dust bag to resell. No ribbon which is lazy and lame.

The zipper might get better after you fill the bag up with your belongings

Congrats on getting a made in France bag! I think you have a right to be picky!

Gosh I've seen replicas with better packaging that this. What the heck?

Honestly the whole bag looks like it’s been thrown in a washing machine. I know it hasn’t but just the whole presentation is terrible. These bags for the money should be boxed with lots of stuffing and then wrapped in tissue paper. LV needs to step up their presentation!! It’s lazy!! I purchased my speedy’s from both online and in store in the early 2000’s and I honestly can’t remember their packaging being so bad. I don’t believe my speedy’s were flattened like that. In fact I know they weren’t cause I never had to deal with the creasing. As a matter a fact I was told years ago by a LV CSR to never fold the bags due to it causing the canvas to crack. So I don’t understand why speedy’s are packaged that way today. I also still have tissue paper with tiny Louis Vuitton all over it that was part of their packaging. Those days are gone but shouldn’t be. Their prices keep raising and so should their quality as well as how you receive your item. That’s part of the whole luxury experience. Anyhow keep us posted on what you decide to do. I do believe the zipper will settle down after using the bag a few times. Hope it all works out for you!! Thanks again for sharing and no you’re not being too picky We like what we like 😉

If I were you I would return it. If you paid for the highest quality ...🙏 Bad smell and the zipper ... is a no no no ... 🌼 Did you check the stiching?

I just received my speedy 25 made in USA & the stitching on the inside of the bag, where the zipper is at, is frayed. It’s frayed on the outside of the bag in the same spot too 😖😖👎 I contacted my SA & sent photos & videos of it and she said we can do an exchange sucks because you pay a lot of money for these items for them not to feel luxuries or have the quality of being luxuries items.

Hello. If you aren't happy with it, I would wait until you are able to find one that will make you smile each time you carry it. That said... I LOVE Speedy bags and own a few in both bandouliere and classic styles. Like you, I can't do heavy bags on my shoulder, so when I have to commute to NCal (from LA), I actually use the 30B as my mini carry-on. I can fit a crazy amount of stuff in there and keep it secure and use the =

The Speedy has been haunting me too. You are not being too picky. Considering the amount of money we pay for luxury items, we expect the quality to be perfect. That zipper would drive me mad! OCD twins 🙋🏻‍♀️

I love Lv Speedy b 25, one of my wish list. Yeah the zipper bothers me kinda weavy!

Return this bag and stay away from it lol I have speedy ban ebene made in France the zipper is same. It all tarnishes. My canvas thinned the corners are dark. I didn’t use it much at all. The strap is soft but something about it thins my hair( like it snags it and cuts it) I don’t like this bag even though it’s pretty after a couple of months when you see it’s all tarnished you will change your mind about this bag. Like I said I didn’t use mine much (total of like 3 weeks) but it looks like I wore it to death on every way the bag looks. I know myself if I took it to lv and told them this they would think I used and abused the crap out of this because it seriously looks like i wore the life out of it. I wouldn’t recommend this bag to anyone. My sister had the mono and her only issue is hardware all tarnished fast and that’s it. I have all other issues......

I would return it, that wonky zipper would bug me too! It’s definitely wavy looking

The bag is coated canvas and not leather! Except the handles and piping! And they use the same material and hardware for LV rather they made it in France or on MARS 🤦‍♀️😳

If the zippers on the other ones you saw aren’t like that, then you should return this one and wait for another opportunity! It’s too much money to not immediately love it. If you have an issue now, return and try again because it’s not worth taking an chance on whether it will straighten out or not. Love you and good luck on finding a new speedy

I think after I buy the Celine Box Bag, this will be one of my next handbags. It is just so cute with the strap. I already have a classic speedy 30 but still think a 25b would make sense for my collection!

Speedy zippers are like that. I have 3. It’s a huge zipper. Will never be buttery smooth. That’s normal.

Yes girl, my speedy b 25 is my favorite bag ever! Perfect size and versatile! Bag organizer helps a lot 💖

The zipper is definitely faulty, I own 3 speedy 25 and I've never seen this before. I would return it. I've had my SpeedyB 25 DE for 6 years, the leather strap does get a lot softer and my leather has a beautiful shine to it including the handles. All mine are made in France but I'm from the UK so it's normal, but to be honest I couldn't care less where they're made as long as they're made well. I hope you find a perfect one. Thanks for sharing

Omg I thought it was just me with them being lazy about their packaging. The first item I ordered had the ribbon but the bag had a defect, then the last 2 I ordered had no ribbon and the item looked used and scratched already. Pretty irritating and is turning me off of the brand for the moment.

Return it because it will bother you! I ordered the Pochette Metis 3 times online and returned all of them due to quality issues. I was sad lol but on my bday last year our CA called hubby they got one in at our local store and thankfully it was perfect! For the price we pay, we are allowed to be picky.

Honestly, I would send that back. I order the same bag, (size print and all) 5 times this year and have not kept one due to the imperfections. Last one I receive was a made in France and it had a hole (literally) on the handle. Just disappointing because they increase the price but the quality is just not there with it 😕

Yep! I love LV but the packaging does leave a lot to be desired... also, it's because it was smooshed in the box, it should straigthen out with use - at least both my speedies (purchased '09 & '10) straightened out.

I feel that the shape is classy and definitely better with the base shaper. However i do feel a tad uneasy with the small zipper opening. But overall a good size. Thanks for sharing dear! New friend and hope you support back?

Return it. The smell and the wavy zipper would bother me too!

In as much $$$$ you spend & the price increases, you shld be fully happy w/your purchase. You should never settle. Stay safe😷

That's wacky cause it was folded

i just received my neonoe bag without LV box, really LV? so disappointed with how they package. and also i have speedy b 30 my zipper like that and it doesn’t straighten yet. love gucci packaging feel like we buy something luxury but yes they are luxury item. LV need to fix this issue!

The wavy zipper would bug me.

It’s beautiful. If the zip bothers you then return it. I would keep it since it is hard to get France or Spain 🇪🇸 items. Can you please send me the site you are currently using for on line purchases. I ordered two SLG and they were made in USA. Disappointed ☹️ love 💕 USA but not on LV items.

I think, just the way they folded it.

Ah congrats! I was lucky to capture a made in France speedy b25 demier ebene last month and my zipper was the same way! BUT with after use it’s straightened out! I had been ISO for over a year 💗

My speedy b 25 came in with zipper looking exactly like that!! That was around March, so I couldn't go to the store for an exchange... What I have done was stuffed the bag and allow the bag/zipper to expand/stretch and left it there for a couple of months. I was 100% as paranoid as you when I first got the bag..Over time, the zipper straightened out and its not wavy anymore..maybe you can try it out?

I think it’s so fine. Did you keep it!?

I would return because of the zipper and because the strap was already on. Usually, if they are really new, the strap has to be in a dust bag and not on the bag. So I think maybe someone ordered it and returned. Stay safe!😊 (the chemical smell is never good I would wait for the perfect one🙌🏼)

Hmmm I think if it bothers you a lot then you should return it. I think how the bag makes you feel is really important because we don’t buy luxury items just for the functionality... and the price is pretty high for these bags because we’re paying for the quality. I think personally, I wouldn’t wait for it to straighten out or to get better. I’d rather get one that I’m satisfied with at first glance. :)

I can tell you really don’t like it. If I were you, I won’t struggling with where it made from. the only thing I need to check is the quality.

Return it, that would bother me too.

Binge watching haha. Nope I wouldn’t keep a wonky zipper. I’m picky and I don’t care😆 it would be the first thing I think about every time I use the bag.

Hi! Did you order this online ?

Looks like one side of the zipper is straight and the other side is wavy, and that kind of zipper bothers me too. So it's not you.
