Glad I found your channel. I will be sharing some secrets about LV, SINCE I actually was their leather artisan back in the day. So , I’m also now a New subbie.
TFS I have 3 speedy 25’s but since retiring, I find that I no longer need the extra room-(I carried 2 phones, etc.)I bought the OG speedy 20 in monogram which I I now find practical for my retired lifestyle but it unfortunately came with the unadjustable guitar strap-which is too short for me. I ended up purchasing a vachetta non-brand strap & loving it. I would like to purchase another but don’t want to duplicate the DE which I have in the 25. I love your collection. ❤️
Thanks for sharing and for watching! Maybe try an extender for your strap? Amazon has some options. That said, I definitely prefer the vachetta option anyway!!!🩷
You have a lovely collection. I have been considering buying my first LV bag but I’m concerned about the hardware. I have seen so many pieces on resale sites with such horrible looking hardware I’m unsure about the longevity of it. How does the hardware hold up for you?
I put hardware protectors on a lot of my hardware, it scratches easily. I think you don't need to worry so much about bags like the speedy - more so ones with a front clasp like the pochette métis, vavin, marceau, etc...best of luck and ty🩷
