I hate that you’re disappointed. I strongly suggest you get chain extenders. It would go with the aesthetic of the bag and offer you additional length. A lot of the trunk bags use to come with leather/chain straps so it’s very much LV. There are extenders identical to the chain that came with the bag. At least try that before you give up completely. I just don’t want you to give up on a bag you love so much. 🥲
I’m trying my best not to give up, but it’s definitely been a challenge. I’ve been talking to another bag sister who has the bag and she’s 5’3”, and even she finds the strap too short. I really don’t want to go the chain extender route, but that may be the last resort if I can find the right ones!
I was feeling down about it yesterday, but seeing your IG pic with the strap hanging made me think about wearing it a different way. LOVED how you carried yours!
Ommg Ebony this bag is gorgeous it a perfect mixture of LVs history with a little modern twist. This bag is definitely a statement piece and a showstopper.
It really is such a beautiful blend of classic LV with a modern touch! Definitely a statement piece. Now if I can only figure out how to make it work! 🙃 I’m thinking handheld might be the move, but I really wish the strap was long enough to wear crossbody.
Thanks for sharing the follow up video with this beautiful bag! Wow 🤩 I wish it’d work out for you but definitely understand you need it to work not just sit pretty on the shelf. 🖤🖤
I’m really hoping I can make it work because it’s such a gorgeous bag, but you’re absolutely right-it needs to be functional too, not just a display piece!
Ebony, I'm so sorry about your disappointment. Girl, this bag is all that and more! I can tell you really love the bag. I think a black strap would go perfect with the handbag. Try the black strap and see how you like it! Im definitely going to figure out a way to purchase this handbag bc I LOVE IT! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much, I really do love this bag! I was hoping that the black strap that came with it would work, but unfortunately, it’s not a great fit. I know you would definitely love this bag, the reverse monogram totally stole my heart!
I’m waiting on mine to be delivered! We have similar body types and I’m nervous now. I have the speedyb 20 in that beautiful Arizona empriente print that I love. It’s a little short crossbody, but I make it work for casual wear. The trunk is a stunner and I plan to carry it by hand or with the gold strap.
I totally get why you’d feel nervous, but since you’ve made the Speedy B 20 in Arizona Empreinte work, I’m sure you’ll style this one beautifully-especially if you’re planning to carry it handheld or with the chain!
Beautiful bag! How about using that same chain as a bag extender? Just add it to the end of your leather strap, then connect the chain to the bag. That should add some extra length. Hope it works!
Love this bag. I have a really great crossbody strap that’s extra long through LV. It’s like 2’’ wide. Super long and comfy. It would look great with it
It is so beautiful!!!! 🤩 That’s unfortunate that the strap isn’t tall girl friendly. I felt like the mini bumbag strap was too short for me and I bought a strap extender. Keep us updated ☺️
I’m definitely keeping chain extenders in mind, but I’m still hoping to find a solution that doesn’t involve them. A web strap from LV is a great suggestion, thanks for the suggestion!
I loved the straps you paired with yours! I wish LV would just give us the straps we need with these bags, but we always find creative ways to make it work! ☺️❤️
Hi Ebony. I’m sorry to hear of your underwhelming experience. It is indeed a gorgeous and special bag; but if it doesn’t work for you, there’s something that will.
I was so looking forward to this bag, and I think that’s why I’m determined to make it work. But you’re absolutely right-if it’s not the perfect fit, I can always find something else that suits me better!
If u lift the middle black Lv tab u can add the lock . It looks so cute in the middle . U can also add another strap . The Lv thick strap with monogram should work
Would you consider wearing it as a long shoulder bag? I love a long shoulder moment. In my opinion it gives a similar vibe as cross body. Keep us updated Ebony. I’m so sorry the bag didn’t work out the way you wanted it to.
I hadn’t thought about trying it as a long shoulder bag, but that’s definitely worth considering. I’ll keep you all updated as I figure things out-thanks for the suggestion!
Congrats on your bag-it’s so stunning in person! I already have a reverse monogram strap, but I’ll definitely look into the one on 24S to see if it might work better. Thanks for the suggestion!
I’ll have to check out that strap! Does it let the bag sit comfortably crossbody for you? All the straps I’ve tried so far don’t seem to be quite long enough.
I couldn’t post pictures, but I posted some pictures of me wearing the Speedy and strap. lisadudley3218. I’ll keep the pictures available for a short while 😄
I would actually use it as a handheld. Look at the side D ring leather tabs. The thread is a triangle stich. I don't trust that leather tab to hold my beautiful bag not to mention swinging on my body . I feel it will give out since it is not reinforced.
I see what you mean about the D-ring leather tabs, and I can understand being cautious with how the stitching looks. I’ve actually been considering carrying it handheld too-it could be a good, secure option!
@@foreverebonyI really think this bag would look best as handheld. It's so beautiful and should be the star of the show with the chain hanging. 💯 I agree on length size options. For us tall gals. Enjoy in the best health.
Hey lady! Love the review. Have you considered getting a strap extender or using the gold strap as a strap extender. I know what you mean about the lack of length and adjustability on the strap and it being disappointing.
Heyy! I’ve been considering strap extenders, and using the gold strap as one is a great idea. The lack of adjustability is disappointing, but I’m hoping to find a solution!
I wish the Speedy Trunk came in a larger size, unfortunately, it doesn’t 😞 but I’m definitely looking into ways to make this one work. Hopefully, I can find a solution!
Glad it came but unfortunate when it’s a let down. I love mine but I did purchase a woven gold strap to use as shoulder strap. The leather strap is meh but since I’m short it can be used as a crossbody. I would say don’t force it, there will be plenty of new speedies ahead
It’s definitely been a letdown, I was so excited for it. The woven gold strap sounds like a great option! I’m still hopeful I can find a solution, but you’re right-there will definitely be more Speedys in the future!
I love this bag but wish it had the short wide leather and chain woven strap that the twinny has. This basic gold short chain seems very plain considering how dressy the bag looks. It’s a beauty though ❤
I think LV kept the chain simple to balance out all the details like the trunk feet and studs, but I agree-a strap like the Twinny’s would have elevated the design even more. It really is a stunning bag though! ❤️
This is such an informative video and I absolutely love all the detail discussed. I’ve been on the fence and have been going back/forth with my CA, but I think I’m going to pass for pretty much every con you went over. I’m sorry you’re disappointed ❤
Thank you so much! I’m glad you found the video helpful. It truly is a gorgeous bag, but I completely understand passing if the cons outweigh the pros. I’ve been trying to decide for a few days myself, and it’s starting to look like a pass for me too.
It‘s a shame that LV straps are always too short! I had the same problem with my Speedy 20 in Damier Ebene and I had to purchase an extra strap. But maybe the Trunk Speedy is not meant to be worn crosdbody, I assume crossbody it looks awkward with the stiff edges anyway? Can you imagine to carry it only handheld or shoulder?
I totally get your frustration, I had to purchase an extra strap for my mini bum bag as well. You’re right about the stiff edges making it trickier for crossbody. I’m still holding out hope I can find a solution, but handheld may be the way to go!
I totally get your concern! I’m hoping I can find a solution, but it’s definitely something to consider if you’re taller. Hopefully, we can both find a way to make it work!
I’m disappointed for you. It is gorgeous. I am hoping you can find a way to make the strap work. Maybe you could add the chain it came with to the leather strap as an extender? Your photography on the closeups is amazing. The craftsmanship is evident. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛
I hadn’t thought about combining the chain with the leather strap! I’ll definitely look into it and see if it could work. Hopefully I can find a solution. Tfw!
@ I hate that! I know the chain strap is short. LV once tried to tell me to connect the chain strap to the leather strap to extend my Ivy WOC, but it brought the length far too long.
such a beautiful bag!! you not liking it all the way is awful but i agree w you - some bags are so beautiful that if they don’t work out sometimes it’s better than to have it around. i’ve def been there were i buy something beautiful but trying to use it doesn’t work out or it doesn’t fit my life style i would def buy this speedy over the regular 20 but for me the metal corners would be ruined in a year the way i would use it so for that reason alone the regular 20 would be the one i’d have to get. i wouldn’t be has “oh look at my bag its so cute” w the regular damier ebene but i would be very happy w it Do you think if you went into the store and talked to someone they might adjust your the length of strap for you? if the strap is the only thing making you think about not keeping it you should spent a week looking for a new strap. maybe look at other bags where the strap is removable and could match it cuz i mean the strap that came with it wasn’t even monogrammed or nothing just a black strap. I wish you well girl ❤ i hope you find a way to keep that beautiful bag and get use out of it happy thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽
I know exactly what you mean-it’s hard when something so stunning doesn’t quite fit into your lifestyle. I hadn’t thought about asking LV about adjusting the strap, but that’s a great idea! The reverse monogram on this bag is so unique, and I really hope I can find a way to make it work. Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving too! ❤️
My biggest gripe with LV is their straps are always too short. I ALWAYS need chain extenders and I hate the way they look, or I buy a long strap on Etsy. My SA said the strap lengths are due the European and Asian markets where they prefer to wear crossbody bags higher. For the price we pay , LV needs to make longer adjustable straps. It's frustrating.
I totally get that! I’m looking for a solution that works for me, but I also want to stay true to the bag’s original design without adding too many third-party elements.
Oh nooooo🤦🏾♀️ hate it’s not working out. Hopefully you’re able to find a solution or another bag. Yes I’m too in that I’m Not Buying just to Have in my collection club. TFS
I know, right? It’s been such a letdown, but I’m really hopeful I can find a solution that works. If not, though, I’ve already got something else on my radar! 😉 Tfw!
Ahhhh man, sorry to hear the strap not long enough. You should search for a longer monogram strap before returning. In my opinion LV need to make longer straps for taller clients. Hope everything works out Ebony, it's really a beautiful bag. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving.
I completely agree, LV should definitely consider offering longer straps for taller clients. I’m still holding out hope I can find a solution, whether that’s a longer strap or something else that works. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving as well! ❤️
I love it. It’s so beautiful. I love your videos. You’re always so detail oriented. I love it. I’m so sorry that you’re having an issue with the strap. I told you as well that mine is a bit short for my taste so I do have an extender that I got from dress up your bag or dress up your purse I’m so sorry I can’t remember what the correct name is. My BFF always helps me get stuff from those websites cause she’s a smarty so I’ll ask her where we got those from but I do have one that would actually work on mine to be honest with you and I’m so glad that you brought that up because I totally forgot that I have an extender so when I get home, I will bust mine out and look at it and then I’ll come back here and let you know How I feel about it… Thanks again for your videos. I love how informative and how perfect your videos are they really really do help all of us in this community know the ins and outs thank you so much.😍😍😍❤️❤️😘
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoy my videos-it really means a lot! Please let me know what you think about your extender when you try it out. I’ve been hesitant to go the extender route, but it’s good to know there are options out there. Like I said earlier, I really think you’ve helped me decide, but I’m still going to give it a couple of days. Thank you so much for your help sis!
@@foreverebony oh and I forgot to add one more thing the colors are almost identical so organize my bag use the same colors as Louis Vuitton so it matches
@@foreverebony maybe it’s just me but the message I left last night is not on here only the second part to it where I said that the colors almost a perfect match… How weird I’m looking on it but I don’t see it. I wanted to let you know that my 6 inch extension looked really good and it actually sets in a good part so I think these would really work for you. I don’t know where my message went or why it disappeared, but I sent you a long message last night About my extension, but it’s so weird. I’m looking on here and it’s not even there only the second part of it crazy…
Ahhh honey. I have issues with strap length too but I just use extenders because since the average woman in the US is 5'4 and 5'3 worldwide, I have to adjust because I'm 5'9. I use the monogram strap with mine which helps a tiny bit but my chest is smaller so that's why may sit a bit different crossbody on me. Extenders are the way to go honestly.
We’re the same height, so I completely understand the struggle with strap length, but another bag sister who’s 5’3” said it was too short for her too. I’m just glad to know I’m not over here tripping 😆 Where did you get your extenders?
@@foreverebony too short for 5'3? I can't see how but our hips and bust could make all the difference in how something sits on the body. So maybe that's why? Girl the extenders come from my friends at Amazon lol. They have a lot of variety and different types of links. I'm about to order one to march the chain it comes with the bag. I carried her using the top handles when waltzing in one of the other LV stores. She's a stunner. You should keep her. Unlike with pants and long sleeves that are too short, we can easily remedy this :)
I completely agree that how a bag fits can vary from person to person, but LV really needs to make these straps more versatile in general. I’m about to head over to Amazon rn to see what options I can find-because if I see you rocking yours and I’m still struggling, I’m going to be so jealous! 🙃
@@foreverebony agreed. if you are tall and curvy most brands in general leave you out the dry. The struggle stays real in these streets. Good luck! I think the extenders will truly be the solution you're looking forward while maintaining a pleasing aesthetic.
LOVE THE PURSES. TFS. I THINK YOU SHOULD KEEP THE TRUNK PURSE ITS DIFFERENT ❤. FIND YOU A PURSE STRAP THAT FITS YOUR LIKING ❤. HAVE A BLESSED THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY
Thank you so much! I’m definitely going to be looking for some different strap options because I really love the bag 🥰 Have a blessed Thanksgiving holiday as well!
Exactly! I ended up purchasing an extra strap for my mini bum bag, but I don’t want to keep buying extra straps for every bag. I’m hoping to find a solution that works without having to keep adding more accessories.
There are so many solutions to take care of your concern for strap length. This bag is meant to be carried like a Lady by the handles. The Speedy was never meant to crossbody. But go for the Lucky Trunk. 🙂
I understand that the original Speedy was traditionally carried by the handles, but I believe the smaller Speedy 20 was designed to be versatile and worn crossbody, which is why I was hoping that would work for me. There definitely are many solutions for the strap length-hopefully, I’ll find one that works perfectly!
Ugh…I’m so sorry this bag doesn’t work as a crossbody on you. This is so disappointing especially because of how long it took to arrive. I get what you mean about not wanting to put any black strap on this bag. Keep us posted on what you decide Ebony! ❤
It’s definitely been a bit of a letdown, especially after the long wait. I’ll definitely keep you all posted on what I decide. Fingers crossed I can figure out a solution!
OhhhhNoooo! Sorry, this has not been an ideal experience all around. It is a stunning design. Agree that if you are not going to enjoy using the bag ultimately it may be best to move on to something that you will.
It really has been such a mixed experience. The design is absolutely stunning, but you’re right-if I can’t find a way to make it work, it might be better to let it go and move on to something I’ll truly enjoy using.
Thank you so much! I actually tried the Pochette Métis strap, but unfortunately, it doesn’t add much length. Still on the hunt for the perfect solution!
This bag is beautiful. I completely understand what you're saying. That's why I didn't get the Gucci Ophidia bag because the strap is too short. And I should be able to carry my bag the way I want to carry it(crossbody, handheld, or over the shoulder). Especially for the money spent.🤎
I totally agree! It’s important to be able to carry our bags the way we want, especially with the investment. I’m struggling to make this one work, but I’m hopeful I can find a solution without forcing it.
I hate that you’re disappointed. I strongly suggest you get chain extenders. It would go with the aesthetic of the bag and offer you additional length. A lot of the trunk bags use to come with leather/chain straps so it’s very much LV. There are extenders identical to the chain that came with the bag. At least try that before you give up completely.

@ LV is really bad at strap lengths. You definitely don’t want to settle if you’re not happy with it. I just hate that you’re disappointed.
I was feeling down about it yesterday, but seeing your IG pic with the strap hanging made me think about wearing it a different way. LOVED how you carried yours!
I use the gold chain that came with the bag to add length, it really works out perfectly!
I’ll definitely try that out, thanks for the suggestion!
It’s really a beauty! I know dress up your bag have straps and chains too. It’s so pretty! Tfs 💕
Thank you so much sis, I’ll definitely have to check them out!
Ommg Ebony this bag is gorgeous it a perfect mixture of LVs history with a little modern twist. This bag is definitely a statement piece and a showstopper.
It really is such a beautiful blend of classic LV with a modern touch! Definitely a statement piece. Now if I can only figure out how to make it work! 🙃 I’m thinking handheld might be the move, but I really wish the strap was long enough to wear crossbody.

I’m really hoping I can make it work because it’s such a gorgeous bag, but you’re absolutely right-it needs to be functional too, not just a display piece!
I use a hole punch for leather to add holes to my straps from my bags. It's an easy fix. And if you ever sell, just disclose that you added the holes.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll definitely keep that in mind!
Ebony, I'm so sorry about your disappointment. Girl, this bag is all that and more! I can tell you really love the bag. I think a black strap would go perfect with the handbag. Try the black strap and see how you like it! Im definitely going to figure out a way to purchase this handbag bc I LOVE IT! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much, I really do love this bag! I was hoping that the black strap that came with it would work, but unfortunately, it’s not a great fit. I know you would definitely love this bag, the reverse monogram totally stole my heart!
This is a GORGEOUS bag! Sorry about the strap issue. I absolutely love how it looked when you put the chain strap on.
Thank you! It really is a gorgeous bag. The chain looks amazing, but it gets stuck underneath a lot, so I’m not sure I’ll use it much.
I’m waiting on mine to be delivered! We have similar body types and I’m nervous now. I have the speedyb 20 in that beautiful Arizona empriente print that I love. It’s a little short crossbody, but I make it work for casual wear. The trunk is a stunner and I plan to carry it by hand or with the gold strap.
I totally get why you’d feel nervous, but since you’ve made the Speedy B 20 in Arizona Empreinte work, I’m sure you’ll style this one beautifully-especially if you’re planning to carry it handheld or with the chain!
She’s a gorgeous find! Congratulations 🎉
Thank you so much! It really is a beauty!
Your bag is STUNNING.. ugh I’m so sorry about the strap issue.. I hope you come up with a solution that works for you.

Thank you so much 😊 That sounds like a really nice strap!
It is so beautiful!!!! 🤩
That’s unfortunate that the strap isn’t tall girl friendly. I felt like the mini bumbag strap was too short for me and I bought a strap extender.
Keep us updated ☺️
It really is beautiful, but I’m pretty bummed about the strap. I’m think I will give the extenders a try to see if they help!
She’s gorgeous!!! I think some chain extenders would look great with this bag and even a web strap from LV. Hoping you find what works best for you!
I’m definitely keeping chain extenders in mind, but I’m still hoping to find a solution that doesn’t involve them. A web strap from LV is a great suggestion, thanks for the suggestion!
I had to use a different strap too bc that one just isn’t cutting it!! Thanks for sharing! 💞💞💞

It really is a beautiful bag, but I just couldn’t not share the issues with the strap. If only it were a little longer, it would be perfect!
You were lucky to get it! I’ve been waiting for weeks!😢
So sorry to hear that, hopefully yours will arrive soon!
Top handle bag, for me I'd use it that way. It is such a cute bag. I hope, you end up making it work for you ❤
I’ve definitely considered using it that way too. Hopefully, I can make it work!
If u lift the middle black Lv tab u can add the lock . It looks so cute in the middle . U can also add another strap . The Lv thick strap with monogram should work

I agree, it is absolutely beautiful! It actually does come with a strap, I showed it in the video, but it’s just a little too short for me.
@ I hate that! I know the chain strap is short. LV once tried to tell me to connect the chain strap to the leather strap to extend my Ivy WOC, but it brought the length far too long.
I just tried connecting the chain strap to the leather one too, but it just didn’t work for me either.
such a beautiful bag!! you not liking it all the way is awful but i agree w you - some bags are so beautiful that if they don’t work out sometimes it’s better than to have it around. i’ve def been there were i buy something beautiful but trying to use it doesn’t work out or it doesn’t fit my life style
i would def buy this speedy over the regular 20 but for me the metal corners would be ruined in a year the way i would use it so for that reason alone the regular 20 would be the one i’d have to get. i wouldn’t be has “oh look at my bag its so cute” w the regular damier ebene but i would be very happy w it
Do you think if you went into the store and talked to someone they might adjust your the length of strap for you? if the strap is the only thing making you think about not keeping it you should spent a week looking for a new strap. maybe look at other bags where the strap is removable and could match it cuz i mean the strap that came with it wasn’t even monogrammed or nothing just a black strap.
I wish you well girl ❤ i hope you find a way to keep that beautiful bag and get use out of it
happy thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽
I know exactly what you mean-it’s hard when something so stunning doesn’t quite fit into your lifestyle. I hadn’t thought about asking LV about adjusting the strap, but that’s a great idea! The reverse monogram on this bag is so unique, and I really hope I can find a way to make it work. Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving too! ❤️
@ i saw a video where the girl went into the store cuz her favorite was too low. i’ve personally never tried it but i hope it works out for you ✨
My biggest gripe with LV is their straps are always too short. I ALWAYS need chain extenders and I hate the way they look, or I buy a long strap on Etsy. My SA said the strap lengths are due the European and Asian markets where they prefer to wear crossbody bags higher. For the price we pay , LV needs to make longer adjustable straps. It's frustrating.
I agree! LV really should think about accommodating different preferences. I considered extenders, but I’m not a fan of the way they look either.
I understand the strap length being to short can be disappointing, but in this instance it seems like an easy fix.
I totally get that! I’m looking for a solution that works for me, but I also want to stay true to the bag’s original design without adding too many third-party elements.
Oh nooooo🤦🏾♀️ hate it’s not working out. Hopefully you’re able to find a solution or another bag. Yes I’m too in that I’m Not Buying just to Have in my collection club. TFS
I know, right? It’s been such a letdown, but I’m really hopeful I can find a solution that works. If not, though, I’ve already got something else on my radar! 😉 Tfw!
Maybe add a strap extender. This bag is gorgeous ❤
Thanks you ☺️ I’m definitely keeping strap extenders in mind!
Ahhhh man, sorry to hear the strap not long enough. You should search for a longer monogram strap before returning. In my opinion LV need to make longer straps for taller clients. Hope everything works out Ebony, it's really a beautiful bag.
Have a Blessed Thanksgiving.
I completely agree, LV should definitely consider offering longer straps for taller clients. I’m still holding out hope I can find a solution, whether that’s a longer strap or something else that works. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving as well! ❤️
I love it. It’s so beautiful. I love your videos. You’re always so detail oriented. I love it. I’m so sorry that you’re having an issue with the strap. I told you as well that mine is a bit short for my taste so I do have an extender that I got from dress up your bag or dress up your purse I’m so sorry I can’t remember what the correct name is. My BFF always helps me get stuff from those websites cause she’s a smarty so I’ll ask her where we got those from but I do have one that would actually work on mine to be honest with you and I’m so glad that you brought that up because I totally forgot that I have an extender so when I get home, I will bust mine out and look at it and then I’ll come back here and let you know How I feel about it… Thanks again for your videos. I love how informative and how perfect your videos are they really really do help all of us in this community know the ins and outs thank you so much.😍😍😍❤️❤️😘
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoy my videos-it really means a lot! Please let me know what you think about your extender when you try it out. I’ve been hesitant to go the extender route, but it’s good to know there are options out there. Like I said earlier, I really think you’ve helped me decide, but I’m still going to give it a couple of days. Thank you so much for your help sis!
@ I sure will the second I get home. I’m gonna try it.❤️❤️
@@foreverebony oh and I forgot to add one more thing the colors are almost identical so organize my bag use the same colors as Louis Vuitton so it matches
Thanks! That’s great to know because the hw not matching is definitely a pet peeve of mine 🙃
@@foreverebony maybe it’s just me but the message I left last night is not on here only the second part to it where I said that the colors almost a perfect match… How weird I’m looking on it but I don’t see it. I wanted to let you know that my 6 inch extension looked really good and it actually sets in a good part so I think these would really work for you. I don’t know where my message went or why it disappeared, but I sent you a long message last night About my extension, but it’s so weird. I’m looking on here and it’s not even there only the second part of it crazy…
I will buy it off of you in a heart beat
I’ve been getting quite a few emails already about buying it, but I’m still holding onto it for now.
Ahhh honey. I have issues with strap length too but I just use extenders because since the average woman in the US is 5'4 and 5'3 worldwide, I have to adjust because I'm 5'9. I use the monogram strap with mine which helps a tiny bit but my chest is smaller so that's why may sit a bit different crossbody on me. Extenders are the way to go honestly.
We’re the same height, so I completely understand the struggle with strap length, but another bag sister who’s 5’3” said it was too short for her too. I’m just glad to know I’m not over here tripping 😆 Where did you get your extenders?
@@foreverebony too short for 5'3? I can't see how but our hips and bust could make all the difference in how something sits on the body. So maybe that's why? Girl the extenders come from my friends at Amazon lol. They have a lot of variety and different types of links. I'm about to order one to march the chain it comes with the bag. I carried her using the top handles when waltzing in one of the other LV stores. She's a stunner. You should keep her. Unlike with pants and long sleeves that are too short, we can easily remedy this :)
I completely agree that how a bag fits can vary from person to person, but LV really needs to make these straps more versatile in general. I’m about to head over to Amazon rn to see what options I can find-because if I see you rocking yours and I’m still struggling, I’m going to be so jealous! 🙃
@@foreverebony agreed. if you are tall and curvy most brands in general leave you out the dry. The struggle stays real in these streets. Good luck! I think the extenders will truly be the solution you're looking forward while maintaining a pleasing aesthetic.
i think this bag is specifically design to wear by top handle only
Top handle seems to be the main focus, but it’s interesting since it does come with a crossbody strap. I’m still figuring out what works best for me!
LOVE THE PURSES. TFS. I THINK YOU SHOULD KEEP THE TRUNK PURSE ITS DIFFERENT ❤. FIND YOU A PURSE STRAP THAT FITS YOUR LIKING ❤. HAVE A BLESSED THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY
Thank you so much! I’m definitely going to be looking for some different strap options because I really love the bag 🥰 Have a blessed Thanksgiving holiday as well!
I don't understand why LV keeps making the chain or strap on their handbags so short. They're not making them long enough on their bags.
Exactly! I ended up purchasing an extra strap for my mini bum bag, but I don’t want to keep buying extra straps for every bag. I’m hoping to find a solution that works without having to keep adding more accessories.
There are so many solutions to take care of your concern for strap length.
This bag is meant to be carried like a Lady by the handles.
The Speedy was never meant to crossbody.
But go for the Lucky Trunk. 🙂
I understand that the original Speedy was traditionally carried by the handles, but I believe the smaller Speedy 20 was designed to be versatile and worn crossbody, which is why I was hoping that would work for me. There definitely are many solutions for the strap length-hopefully, I’ll find one that works perfectly!
Sis this bag is too gorgeous to just sit on the shelf and not be carried. I hope that you find a better strap solution that works better for you.
I’m definitely working on finding a strap solution so I can start enjoying it. Fingers crossed!
This bag is beautiful, but if you are not in love, I would send it back!
Thank you! It really is beautiful, but I’m still trying to make it work. If I can’t, you might be right-it’s better to let it go than to settle!
🎉❤it’s a beauty
Thank you so much! It really is such a stunning bag!
Ugh…I’m so sorry this bag doesn’t work as a crossbody on you. This is so disappointing especially because of how long it took to arrive. I get what you mean about not wanting to put any black strap on this bag. Keep us posted on what you decide Ebony! ❤
It’s definitely been a bit of a letdown, especially after the long wait. I’ll definitely keep you all posted on what I decide. Fingers crossed I can figure out a solution!
Do you feel the studs are secure and won't fall off? I don't trust LV craftsmanship.
So far, the studs seem secure, but I’ll definitely keep an eye on them over time.
it beauiful bag but dose not work send. it back
It really is a beautiful bag! I’m still holding out hope I can find a solution to make it work before I make a final decision.
Oh no! Sorry it’s not working perfectly for you. It’s a beautiful bag.
It really is! I’m still holding out hope I can find a solution to make it work.
Return it.
That’s definitely an option, but I’m in no hurry to make a decision just yet.
OhhhhNoooo! Sorry, this has not been an ideal experience all around. It is a stunning design. Agree that if you are not going to enjoy using the bag ultimately it may be best to move on to something that you will.
It really has been such a mixed experience. The design is absolutely stunning, but you’re right-if I can’t find a way to make it work, it might be better to let it go and move on to something I’ll truly enjoy using.
I don’t think you will be happy if you keep it. You should not settle. Too much money.
I completely get where you’re coming from-it’s definitely a lot to spend on something that isn’t perfect. I’m still thinking it over.
I’ll buy it off u if you don’t want it !
I’ve received a few emails asking about selling it. Feel free to email me if you’re seriously interested!
beautiful bag!! congrats! have you tried the strap from your pochette metis in the back?
Thank you so much! I actually tried the Pochette Métis strap, but unfortunately, it doesn’t add much length. Still on the hunt for the perfect solution!
@ oh shoot good luck!
This bag is beautiful. I completely understand what you're saying. That's why I didn't get the Gucci Ophidia bag because the strap is too short. And I should be able to carry my bag the way I want to carry it(crossbody, handheld, or over the shoulder). Especially for the money spent.🤎
I totally agree! It’s important to be able to carry our bags the way we want, especially with the investment. I’m struggling to make this one work, but I’m hopeful I can find a solution without forcing it.
