Don't watch this video if you are trying to pick ONE. YOU WILL WANT BOTH. great video!!! Lol you made me realize it's more a matter of which one will I add first ❤️😍
Lady Erika 😄 Haha you are right. I would like to buy speedy 25 in monogram,I have a same one with hers. I bought speedy 30 in monogram half years ago,but I never used it, because the size 30 is bigger for me. And also heavy when I put stuff in.
This is a perfect first video! You don’t seem nervous at all. I’ve followed you for a couple years and this older video just popped up as a suggestion today at the same time as I’m deciding between these two handbags. I have the Pochette Metis and after watching this I think I will definitely go with the damier ebene, which I have been leaning toward.
I'm buying the Speedy B in DE in 4 weeks! I'm sooooooo excited!! This beauty is gonna be my FIRST Louis Vuitton bag! Hopefully I can buy it in store during Memorial day weekend 😄I've been saving since February lol! I CAN'T WAIT!!
I originally wanted the monogram but i watched other videos about the untreated leather and how the color of the strap and handles will change colors. I didn't like that so I went with the Damier Ebene and I think its a beautiful print for this bag.
Holy guacamole I’m been following you for years and never saw your first video until today 😱 you definitely improve but your essence is the same and for that I’ll keep watching you.
Great job! I really enjoyed your video! I have the speedy b 25 in DE...which I love!! However, now I'm finding I also want the monogram!! Argh! This brand is very addicting! Thanks again!
Because of your video I sent back my monogram speedy for the damier ebene bc like you said it's very care free and it's my first Louis Vuitton so I do want to use it everyday very helpful thank you for that and for the organizer I also ordered one now just nervous that I did get the 30 instead of the 25 but live and learn everyone is different when it comes to that but your video did help me the most out of all the videos I've watched thanks again!
+Nate Moffett Thank you! I'm so glad it helped. If I could only have one it would be DE. Hope you love your new bag! The 30 is the classic size, the 25 was made for Audrey Hepburn. Can't go wrong with either! 💖
Great review. I appreciate your comment about the strap digging on the damier ebene. I am on the fence about these bags and that is an important factor. Also, I have the Samorga for my Speedy 30 and I ended up cutting out one of the water bottle pockets to create more room inside.
I’m planning on buying either the speedy 25 bandolier of the alma bb. I’m on the fence. I’d sure love to see a video on the way you store your bags. ❤️👜
I’m planning to purchase the Speedy B 25 in DE since I love the monogram version so much. It’s been so useful on trips. The DE version would be more carefree. As of now, I cover the vachetta as best as possible on my bag like a mad woman if/when it rains unexpectedly.
Isn't the purse organizer a game changer? I didn't think much of it but hated how small the opening of the 25b was. I got the organizer and now it is a non-issue. Great video!
Very nice comparison.I have few 25s too in different prints and dont feel like I need an organizer for them.The bag itself is perfect for things to be organized because of its size.I tried and it limits what I can put inside.Nice review,thanks.
+777heiress Thank you! It is a great size. I do like the organizers for the shape they give but I leave them out when I wear it crossbody. I like it slouchy that way. Yes they do limit some of the space, that's for sure!
I am a nurse that uses lotions all day. I have been collected Louis Vuitton for years so I am aware of the vachetta issue. I have always purchased monogram with the vachetta (I still love this leather regardless). so I looked for a solution to my problem. APPLE GUARD works awesome! It is a spray protectant that truly does protect against rain, water spots, and dirty hands. The leather still patina (which is good), but I haven't had a stain since I treated it! I used eucerin cream (kind of like crisco), and not 1 grease or stain mark. As all LV owners know, we dread that first stain/water mark. It is super safe and awesome! Less than $10 on eBay. Try it, you'll love!
+Kac4 KLHC Thanks for the tip! You understand you're a lotion lover too! I actually just bought a can of Apple Guard last week. I haven't been brave enough to spray it on yet. I really need to try it. I've heard amazing things about it.
Hello!! Love your bag comparison video!!! The De definitely gets wrinkles down the side of the bag too or had them when I purchased it in 2015 and I didn't notice. I live in a rainy climate too but just moved here a year ago. The newer hardware tarnishes very quickly in comparison to the older hardware from 2013 and back. My 2015 pull tabs and locks are very tarnished compared to hardware Ive had since 2003!!! The quality is incomparable and definitely gone down hill. Its really sad to pay so much more for all these newer items when the older ones were made so much better!!
cara0402 Thank you! No wrinkles on mine yet or on my DE Keepall. I agree about the hardware. It's awful. I bought Alma locks for all my Speedies, they don't tarnish.
They are not the same, the Alma ones have a special coating. I have a Alma over a year old and no tarnish. All the new locks I bought haven't tarnished either. I don't know why they don't make them the same.
Great first video! I'm personally torn between the speedy 25 in monogram, ebene, or empreinte leather. I already have a Neverfull GM in ebene, so I want to try a new print, but gosh your speedy in ebene is SO pretty! Especially w/ the clochette and bag charm. 😍
Oh my, just saw this! I personally don't like the empreinte because the strap is so long it's only cross body. Hope you enjoy whichever one you picked! Xoxo
Thanks for this video. I have the monogram speedy 30 and was thinking about getting the bandolier in the same size. But seeing how much you were able to fit into the 25 has made me reconsider. Btw you did a great job of comparing the 2. I wouldn't have known this was your first video if you hadn't mentioned it.
Lux Purse Love, Hi! I really liked your video as I’m planning to buy Speedy B 30 in Damier Ebene print. I need your help as you seem to know great deal about Speedy bag in both the prints! I’ve been researching on youtube and purse forum. I’ve already got classic Speedy 25 in Monogram canvas. But I used my speedy on special occasions due to its vachetta strap. I love Damiere Ebene print as in my opinion, Damier Ebene print makes handbags look elegant and sophisticated compared to Monogram canvas which gives a more of casual look. Besides Monogram Canvas handbags have vachetta leather which is extremely delicate and needs lot of care which I’m unable to provide. Also Damier Ebene is very carefree and low maintainence i.e. looks like new for longer time. Also being dark colour, its ideal for travel. But as I’ve heard from you in this video as well as many other youtubers and purse forum members saying that the treated leather strap of Speedy bandouliere 30 in Damiere Ebene digs into one’s shoulders compare to more natural vachetta leather in monogram print. Its due to these review of straps digging into one’s shoulder, I’ve been resisting buying Damier Ebene since past five years. As frequent adviced by many other youtubers and purse forum members about stiffness of Damier Ebene’s treated leather timmings i.e. shoulder straps (Neverfull); and hand held handles & crossbody strap (Speedy Bandouilere 30). But at the sametime some youtubers and purse forum members are raving about comfort and carefree nature of shoulder straps (Neverfull); and hand held handles & crossbody strap (Speedy Bandouilere 30). I wanted a Speedy B 30 for travel and during travel in aeroplanes, cars and buses often water, sodas and juice fall on oneself as well as the bag thereby ruining vachetta strap and handles in Monogram print!! I’m in my 50s, my height is 5’3”, I’m a plus size woman and I dress traditionally and extremely conservatively. I carry the following essentials in my bag i.e. Sarah wallet, iPhone 7 plus, DE cosmetic pouch PM (1 lipsticks, 1pen, dry facial tissues, wet wipes & miscellaneous items), 6ring key holder, DE cles (coins), mini pochette (medicines) and my reading glasses. Will a Speedy Bandouilere 30 in Damier Ebene be able to handle all this weight? But if my shoulder, neck and back pains start with shoulder/crossbody strap (Speedy Bandouilere 30) digging onto my shoulder, then how can I reduce the discomfort? What should I do? Can you please suggest anyway to “soften” hand held handles & crossbody strap of Speedy Bandouilere 30? Or Speedy Bandouilere 30 in Monogram canvas is the only way to go?? I really value and appreciate your advice! Thanks, LMA
Hi, the Speedy 30 can easily fit all of that. There is no way to soften up the straps on DE. Some people have told me they wear it crossbody with no issues. For me the strap digs in. The best thing to do is to go to the boutique and try your things in the bag. Vachetta doesn’t have to be delicate, I spray mine with Apple Guard and it protects it from water spots.
LMA 1991 I love your video! I also love the speedy 30 in mono. I’m planning to use it crossbody as I have shoulder pain if I only hang it on my shoulder. Do you think it would look too big? I’m 5.4 Another thing, I’m thinking about going for the vacheta, soon I will live in the Netherlands (rainy country. It rains 2 out of 7 days every week 😅). But the mono suits better my skin tone than the DE and I also like it a bit more (also the idea of softer shoulder straps -for my shoulder pain). Do you think it would be too much of a hassle to take care of the bag? That’s apple product you mentioned will really allow me to go out and around without worries? Thank you very much for your advice!!! 🤗💕
Lux Purse Love hi I love your video. I wrote a comment just before this one seeking some advice. I tagged there the wrong person. Looking forward to hearing from you. Xoxo 🤗
Probably better without the organizer. I lay things in rows instead and it stays in place because this bag is small enough, unlike the speedy 30 where an organizer would probably really help. Thank you for this video! I love LV bags 💕
Martha Lorena I've been using the organizer for awhile now and really love it. But if I want to stuff the bag I take it out. It holds more without. Thanks so much for watching!💗
Great comparison. I have both Speedy B 25s too and love them! It looks like you have a DE Totally on your shelf. Would you be willing to do a review and wear and tear on that one? I'm considering it for my next bag. Thank you!!
EH Thank you! Yes I'll do a review and wear and tear on the Totally. That is another that will always be in my collection! Glad you love your Speedies!💖
I love the Speedy shape as it has that bucket theme and it's special because it has the hardware clasp in the right place for the straps, on both ends. I dislike on the Alma bb the way the strap attaches to the hardware on the handles, it seems it might harm the handles and the drape over time. I agree that the damier ebene strap is very stiff and it's bothered me tbh. What I mean is, it doesn't seem like leather, it seems like a hard plastic. I am not trying to insult this brand, but how do you feel about it?
c sikomas I love the shape of the speedy too. I also love the Alma BB, I have 3. 🙈 The Damier Ebene strap is stiff for sure but I love that it's carefree. I'm not crazy about it crossbody though.
I have the Speedy 30 Bandouliere in DE. I am considering purchasing the Speedy 25 Bandouliere in the Monogram print so that I can wear it crossbody as well. My Speedy B 30 is great for an everyday bag but I do agree with you on the size of the bag as a crossbody as well as the strap digging in. My question to you is on the weather conditions. How does your monogram hold up in wet weather and how do you get it to patina so that weather won't affect the leather? I'm very careful with my bags so mine look new forever even though I carry them daily. Thank you in advance for you time......
Shawn Curtis Hi, your 30 sounds great! So as far as weather I actually look at the forecast daily and I do not carry any vachetta bags if there is any chance of rain. I'm like you and I am so careful with my bags. My first bag from 2012 looks brand new. I believe once you have a darker patina you're more protected but I still won't use vachetta if I think it will rain. I also do not believe in waterproof sprays. I did it once with bad results. I will do a video about that soon. I really think you'll enjoy the 25! It's so comfortable crossbody!
Lux Purse love So do you think with weather and humidity the Speedy B 25 would be best in the DE print? These bags cost so much money and I'm trying to make the best choice for the money & wear!
Lux Purse love Thank you. This has helped me a lot especially since you own both and have use both of the patterns. I really appreciate your taking time to answer my questions.
Great first video!!!! I can't wait for more!!!! I can see that you have a Caissa Hobo. Have you tried using an organizer on that bag ? I have the one with the red lining and I'm wondering if it would work. Thanks in advance and congrats again on your first video. It was awesome!!!
Thank you!!! I have several more videos out now if you'd like to check them out. My rose ballerine collection video has the Caissa in it. I have used an organizer with it but a very soft one from Purse Bling. That bag does not need added structure and won't lay right with a stiff organizer if that makes any sense. Lately though I've been using it without one. Thanks so much for watching! :)
Hello Thanks for taking time to create the video. Your bag's metal accessories look in good condition,but my bay that is same with yours, its metal accessories are rusty. I just used it two months. I don't know what I should to do. 😭
I love your Hawaii Louis Vuitton bag! I work right here in Waikiki where we have my favorite Louis Vuitton store! Iʻm looking to get a Paris one, is there a special name for the Louis Vuitton with the city monogramming?
I’m definitely getting the 25 DE bc I would be more happier with smaller bag than the bigger one since I don’t like big bags. Now I’m debating if I want strap or not bc I know I’m not going to use but it looks better with it🤦🏽♀️.. How do you get the luggage tags w/o luggage? Will they let me just buy one🤞🏽
It does look cute with the strap but I think it's pretty without too. I wouldn't pay extra for it if you won't use it. The luggage tags just depend on your SA. Some will sell and some won't.
I've been hearing stories about customers being refused when they ask to purchase clochettes for bags that don't come with them. How were you able to get them for your bags?
Lux Purse Love thanks ! One more question how much were they? And what sizes did your order? Ok that's 2 questions but I really like ones you have and want to make sure I get the same ones
Hi love, love the comparison of the 2 speedy. Thinking to buy one of those soon. I love your watch as well? would you mind telling us the brand? Thank you 😘
Great video! Could I please know where you got the oversized pompoms from?? Love the clasp on it! Have a beautiful day, lots of greetings from Belgium!💋
Susi Susi Mine has wrinkles under both handles. It's not severe but with DE and Epi almost impossible not to have. It didn't have as much when I got it though.
Okay so it is more of a luck to get a speedy DE without wrinkles ! Good to know 😬 i was thinking about exchanging it but than i will just take it! Anyways it is under the handles 🙄 Thank you😘
Susi Susi Honestly I'd keep it too. Yes I think they should be wrinkle free but sadly they are not. With that said though this has been my most durable bag. Enjoy yours hon!!!
Thanks!!! LOVE your videos...Speedy is on my wish list....I envy your collection, wish I had started years ago. Are you selling any items? Would be interested....take care, DJ
Great Job I am thinking about getting a speedy 25 in the bene just because of the weather as I live in Canada and my speedy 30 I can only use it when the weather is good. I also have a channel called LV and More and I am new to UTube I love it but over time you do get better. However, I think you did a wonderful job thanks again Susan
LV & More Thank you Susan! I think this would be a great bag for Canada, it's hard to not be able to use your bags in bad weather. I'll be checking your channel out! 😊
Do you ever come across the Speedy B “ Made in France” I currently have the Speedy B 30 in Mono and love it :-) thanks for the very informational videos !
Thank you! I have to be honest if I could only have one of these bags it would be the ebene for sure and I have other DE bags too. Both are beauties though! I got the clochette from the SA that I bought the bag from. Hopefully they won't give you a hard time if you want one.
I'm stuck between getting the DE or the Monogram print - I think DE is more durable but I already have an alma bb in that print and I feel like I should get a change :/ please help! P.s your hair looks really pretty here :) x
Danielle Carr Awe, thank you!! 💗The DE is for sure more durable but the mono is way more comfortable. Since you already have a DE why not go for the mono? You have your DE for rainy days and the mono for good weather. Either way you can't go wrong, it's a great bag!
Hi! Love this video! What size Key Bell did you get? I am guessing it is the smaller one--the one similar to the one on the alma bb. Is that right? Please let me know.
Don't watch this video if you are trying to pick ONE. YOU WILL WANT BOTH. great video!!! Lol you made me realize it's more a matter of which one will I add first ❤️😍
Lol! I added the Damier Azur recently so I understand! Thanks for watching! :)
Lady Erika
😄
Haha you are right. I would like to buy speedy 25 in monogram,I have a same one with hers.
I bought speedy 30 in monogram half years ago,but I never used it, because the size 30 is bigger for me. And also heavy when I put stuff in.

I'm buying the Speedy B in DE in 4 weeks! I'm sooooooo excited!! This beauty is gonna be my FIRST Louis Vuitton bag! Hopefully I can buy it in store during Memorial day weekend 😄I've been saving since February lol! I CAN'T WAIT!!
+RaCheyl Williams Congrats!!!!🎉🎉🎉I'm so happy for you! Enjoy it sweetie!!!
You did an amazing job on your first video! So informative and well-explained. Thank you!
Thank you! I appreciate that! :)
My pocket is ready but still can't decide if I want the monogram or damier print!!! Both are lovely!!
As much as I adore monogram, i find myself appreciating and preferring Damier Ebene more as years go on. It’s so rich, weather resistant, so simple.
Great video ! So basically I should get both . I still love the monogram . It’s just so classic and beautiful !
Thank you!
I originally wanted the monogram but i watched other videos about the untreated leather and how the color of the strap and handles will change colors. I didn't like that so I went with the Damier Ebene and I think its a beautiful print for this bag.

Dar'Lisha Awe, thank you! ❤️
i was thinking the same thing!!!
Yes she does
And her voice is so soothing too!
Agreed!
Great job! I really enjoyed your video! I have the speedy b 25 in DE...which I love!! However, now I'm finding I also want the monogram!! Argh! This brand is very addicting! Thanks again!
Christine Braconnier Thank you! Yes it's so addicting! I think I want a mon mono now! 💙
Christine Braconnier I have monogram speedy 25 but now I want DE yes its so addicting
Because of your video I sent back my monogram speedy for the damier ebene bc like you said it's very care free and it's my first Louis Vuitton so I do want to use it everyday very helpful thank you for that and for the organizer I also ordered one now just nervous that I did get the 30 instead of the 25 but live and learn everyone is different when it comes to that but your video did help me the most out of all the videos I've watched thanks again!

Really great first video! Just subscribed. Speedy B25 in Damier Ebene is definitely on my wishlist! :)
Lipglossed Thank you! I appreciate both! 💖
I’m planning on buying either the speedy 25 bandolier of the alma bb. I’m on the fence. I’d sure love to see a video on the way you store your bags. ❤️👜
I’m planning to purchase the Speedy B 25 in DE since I love the monogram version so much. It’s been so useful on trips. The DE version would be more carefree. As of now, I cover the vachetta as best as possible on my bag like a mad woman if/when it rains unexpectedly.
You’ll love it! The mono is more comfy crossbody but the DE is so carefree!
Ugh, the things we do for bags! lol 😂
Thanks for this great video!! I'm thinking of getting a Speedy B 25 but was not sure about the print :) Made it a lot easier to decide!
Marina Unger Thank you! I'm so glad it helped! You'll love the Speedy! 😊

Wow, great comparison and first video! I look forward to more!

If you could only keep one which one would you keep

+flydiva8 Thank you! It's really amazing what the 25 fits!
Thank you! I hope you love your new bag!
Love this video, thank you!! Am going to purchase the Speedy 25 DE! Stay safe!! Xo from the Netherlands
WOW YOU FIT SO MUCH IN THE LIL BAG,I LOVE THEM BOTH.
I watched this clip 20 times over a year to choose my perfect fit! Which one do you recommend if I need one? Mono or DE? love your all of videos
Thank you! It really depends on what kind of climate you live in. Here I would pick DE if I lived somewhere with less rain mono. Mono is more comfy.
thanks for this great review! Still can't decide which one to get :D
loving the review of your bags! i agree that the handle of the ebene digs into the shoulder and clavicle area. nevertheless, love love it!
Maria Elvinia Thank you! 💖 It does dig in I agree! I love it too! Doesn't hurt me shoulder carry though.
Lux Purse love yes, i agree! just crossbody ... i have the same pink blush pompoms from tory burch. loving it!
Maria Elvinia I love the Tory Burch Pom Poms! I have the black too, they are the best!

Great comparison. I have both Speedy B 25s too and love them! It looks like you have a DE Totally on your shelf. Would you be willing to do a review and wear and tear on that one? I'm considering it for my next bag. Thank you!!
EH Thank you! Yes I'll do a review and wear and tear on the Totally. That is another that will always be in my collection! Glad you love your Speedies!💖
EH Hi! The review of the Totally video is up now. Hope it helps you decide.😊
I just watched it and commented on it! Thank you so much for doing it! You're the best.
EH You're welcome! 😊
I love the Speedy shape as it has that bucket theme and it's special because it has the hardware clasp in the right place for the straps, on both ends. I dislike on the Alma bb the way the strap attaches to the hardware on the handles, it seems it might harm the handles and the drape over time. I agree that the damier ebene strap is very stiff and it's bothered me tbh. What I mean is, it doesn't seem like leather, it seems like a hard plastic. I am not trying to insult this brand, but how do you feel about it?
c sikomas I love the shape of the speedy too. I also love the Alma BB, I have 3. 🙈 The Damier Ebene strap is stiff for sure but I love that it's carefree. I'm not crazy about it crossbody though.
Well done on your first video!! Informative and you found a new angle to highlight : ))
Noodle T Thank you! 💕
Nice video sweetie, you are so pretty ! I almost bought the speedy 25B DE in Hawaii. Trying to be good :) Have a wonderful day ❤️️
Leo Lion LV Thank you so much! It's so hard to be good lol! The DE is a great one to put on the wish list! 💕
How do you keep your vachetta so light & new looking?? Love.
At the time that bag was only a few moths old. It has a beautiful patina now.
I just love the light new looking vachetta. Your bags look beautiful 💖💖
Thank you!
I have the Speedy 30 Bandouliere in DE. I am considering purchasing the Speedy 25 Bandouliere in the Monogram print so that I can wear it crossbody as well. My Speedy B 30 is great for an everyday bag but I do agree with you on the size of the bag as a crossbody as well as the strap digging in. My question to you is on the weather conditions. How does your monogram hold up in wet weather and how do you get it to patina so that weather won't affect the leather? I'm very careful with my bags so mine look new forever even though I carry them daily. Thank you in advance for you time......
Shawn Curtis Hi, your 30 sounds great! So as far as weather I actually look at the forecast daily and I do not carry any vachetta bags if there is any chance of rain. I'm like you and I am so careful with my bags. My first bag from 2012 looks brand new. I believe once you have a darker patina you're more protected but I still won't use vachetta if I think it will rain. I also do not believe in waterproof sprays. I did it once with bad results. I will do a video about that soon. I really think you'll enjoy the 25! It's so comfortable crossbody!
Lux Purse love
So do you think with weather and humidity the Speedy B 25 would be best in the DE print? These bags cost so much money and I'm trying to make the best choice for the money & wear!
Shawn Curtis I honestly wear my DE way more than my mono. Love them both but if I could only have one it would have to be DE. It's carefree!
Lux Purse love Thank you. This has helped me a lot especially since you own both and have use both of the patterns. I really appreciate your taking time to answer my questions.
You're welcome! Hope you love your new bag!
Great first video!!!! I can't wait for more!!!! I can see that you have a Caissa Hobo. Have you tried using an organizer on that bag ? I have the one with the red lining and I'm wondering if it would work. Thanks in advance and congrats again on your first video. It was awesome!!!
Thank you!!! I have several more videos out now if you'd like to check them out. My rose ballerine collection video has the Caissa in it. I have used an organizer with it but a very soft one from Purse Bling. That bag does not need added structure and won't lay right with a stiff organizer if that makes any sense. Lately though I've been using it without one. Thanks so much for watching! :)
Hi Lux,
thanks for the informative and thoughtful review on these timeless pieces. ❤️
May I know how much you bought them?
Thank you! I don't remember how much it was whatever they were in the boutique at that time.
This may be a dumb question, but what are the purse charms/ tassels on your bags called? They’re beautiful!
Not a dumb question at all. It's called a key bell or a clochette. It hold the keys to the lock in that little leather part on the bottom. :)
Thanks for your review..how much is the key pad?
Thanks! It was $35.
Very good comparison video! Really enjoyed it!
Thank you! :)
I love the luggage tags attached to your bag. Did u have to buy that separately?
Yes but unless you own an Alma they won't sell spare parts anymore.
Lux Purse Love thank you!!
Hello
Thanks for taking time to create the video.
Your bag's metal accessories look in good condition,but my bay that is same with yours, its metal accessories are rusty. I just used it two months.
I don't know what I should to do. 😭
My lock tarnished but the hardware isn't rusty. I would take yours back to LV and ask them to repair it.
Lux Purse Love
They said it was normal happened,,,😭
Let me to clean the problems by myself.
So pool the service
+happy happy I would go back and ask to speak to the manager or if possible go to another boutique. That's not right.
Lux Purse Love
Thank you. You are right.
I will go to see their manager.
Lux Purse Love
I bought it in Vancouver downtown lv store, there are two lv store,can I go to another lv store?
I love your Hawaii Louis Vuitton bag! I work right here in Waikiki where we have my favorite Louis Vuitton store! Iʻm looking to get a Paris one, is there a special name for the Louis Vuitton with the city monogramming?
Thank you! As far as I know there is not a Paris bag. That would be awesome if there was though!
So, how did you get to purchase the clochette?
Erica H. I just asked my SA and she ordered it for me.
Do you need to pay extra for it? Thanks
Erica H. It was $60.
I love my Classic Speedy in DE but the NF MM in Mono....
Subscribed. Looking forward to more videos from you. I really enjoyed this one.
C Bella Thank you! I appreciate that! ❤️
If you can only pick one print de or mono, which print you would pick?
Cindy Chan For sure DE. Mono is more comfortable but DE is worry and rain free!
Hi ~ Which canvas do you prefer ? And would recommend ? Thanks !
The damier ebene because it is worry free and it rains a lot where I live.
Great video! I'm so undecided on what print to get as both are nice. Thanks for sharing.
+JOYful Baglover Thank you! Yes that's a hard decision! You can't go wrong with either. 😊
Love your channel. Looking forward to your future videos💕
JOYful Baglover Thank you so much! That's so sweet!😘
I have DE....now iam craving monogram
Fatima Hina I have monogram but this video made me craving for DE . I felt like I buy wrong for me because now I love DE
I’m definitely getting the 25 DE bc I would be more happier with smaller bag than the bigger one since I don’t like big bags. Now I’m debating if I want strap or not bc I know I’m not going to use but it looks better with it🤦🏽♀️.. How do you get the luggage tags w/o luggage? Will they let me just buy one🤞🏽
It does look cute with the strap but I think it's pretty without too. I wouldn't pay extra for it if you won't use it. The luggage tags just depend on your SA. Some will sell and some won't.
I've been hearing stories about customers being refused when they ask to purchase clochettes for bags that don't come with them. How were you able to get them for your bags?
I just asked my SA and she ordered them for me. Some will and some won't. I'm not sure why.
Lux Purse Love thanks ! One more question how much were they? And what sizes did your order? Ok that's 2 questions but I really like ones you have and want to make sure I get the same ones
flydiva8 You're welcome! They were $60 and for Speedy 25 I got alma bb size.
Just got my first LV Speedy B 25 in monogram!! Now I want the other one since I live in a climent where the weather is unpredictable lol
Congrats on your Speedy! I understand wanting another one. I have all 3 prints now lol!
Great job on the comparison. 👍. Hope u do more videos.
Sharon Ozvenom Thank you! I've done several others now. I appreciate you watching!
Hi love, love the comparison of the 2 speedy. Thinking to buy one of those soon. I love your watch as well? would you mind telling us the brand? Thank you 😘
+Maria Courtenay Thank you! It's a Kate Spade fitness tracker. 💖
Great video! Could I please know where you got the oversized pompoms from?? Love the clasp on it! Have a beautiful day, lots of greetings from Belgium!💋
Thank you! I think they are Tory Burch.
Lux Purse Love Thank you very much! I will look it up!👍🏻☺️
Hi where did you buy your organizer?
It's from Original Club.
Luv those bags! May i know where you got the bag charms?
Livelovebehappy Thank you! 😀The red one is from Michael Kors and the peach is from Tory Burch.

looking forward to your next video ♡
LuvMakeup85 Thank you for subscribing! 💖 I hope to have a new video up Friday or Saturday.
Awesome comparison:-) even the 25 has a small opening and all that would you say it is one of your favorites? Especially for everyday?
+Susi Susi Thank you! Yes it is absolutely one of my favorites! The small opening doesn't bother me like I thought it would.
I bought it and compared 3 different bags in the store! Does your DE Speedy b has wrinkles under the handles? Or under one handle? 👀
Susi Susi Mine has wrinkles under both handles. It's not severe but with DE and Epi almost impossible not to have. It didn't have as much when I got it though.
Okay so it is more of a luck to get a speedy DE without wrinkles ! Good to know 😬 i was thinking about exchanging it but than i will just take it! Anyways it is under the handles 🙄
Thank you😘
Susi Susi Honestly I'd keep it too. Yes I think they should be wrinkle free but sadly they are not. With that said though this has been my most durable bag. Enjoy yours hon!!!
Are the monogram and the damier are made from the same material?
Yes they are both canvas.
What brand is the watch that you are wearing?
Roxann Marshall Hi, it's a Kate Spade fitness tracker.
wher can i buy the organizer?
HR Manager It's from Original Club. The link is in the info section.
Where did you get the insert?
Donna Jean Garrett It's from Original Club. The link is in my description box.
Thanks!!! LOVE your videos...Speedy is on my wish list....I envy your collection, wish I had started years ago. Are you selling any items? Would be interested....take care, DJ
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words! Nothing currently for sale, I just did a vlog sale video and everything sold Have a great day!
Great Job I am thinking about getting a speedy 25 in the bene just because of the weather as I live in Canada and my speedy 30 I can only use it when the weather is good. I also have a channel called LV and More and I am new to UTube I love it but over time you do get better. However, I think you did a wonderful job thanks again Susan
LV & More Thank you Susan! I think this would be a great bag for Canada, it's hard to not be able to use your bags in bad weather. I'll be checking your channel out! 😊
Do you ever come across the Speedy B “ Made in France” I currently have the Speedy B 30 in Mono and love it :-) thanks for the very informational videos !
Thank you! I don't look for them anymore since I already own them.
Also, can I ask where you purchased your clochettes? I've heard they're hard to get at LV stores if they don't come with your bag.
Thank you! I have to be honest if I could only have one of these bags it would be the ebene for sure and I have other DE bags too. Both are beauties though! I got the clochette from the SA that I bought the bag from. Hopefully they won't give you a hard time if you want one.
Hello I really like the key bell detail, I was looking online at the LV website but I couldn’t find it. Did you get them at the boutique? Great video
Thank you! Your SA has to order it for you.
Great 1st video!!! I have both, but in the size 30b.. Great idea about how not to loss the keys. Need to look into it. :) :)
Stella B Thank you!💗
great first video and super helpful!
anohsone Thank you! I appreciate that!💖
Great video! Can I fit a 13” MacBook Pro in the 25 or 30 ?
no
Wonderful job on your video*** I am a new subscriber to your channel ** I own Speedy 30 that is 1991 and LOVE it.
Rebecca Barton Thank you so much! Wow from 1991? I wish I had started buying sooner than I did! 💜
Great first video!! Very informative
Kathy Buddemeyer Thank you! 💖
I'm stuck between getting the DE or the Monogram print - I think DE is more durable but I already have an alma bb in that print and I feel like I should get a change :/ please help! P.s your hair looks really pretty here :) x
Danielle Carr Awe, thank you!! 💗The DE is for sure more durable but the mono is way more comfortable. Since you already have a DE why not go for the mono? You have your DE for rainy days and the mono for good weather. Either way you can't go wrong, it's a great bag!
Lux Purse love thanks for getting back to me - I think I'll go and try both on to see which one I fall in love with :)
Danielle Carr That's always best!💗
A great comparison! Thanks for the video!
+mozardmama Thank you!
Hi! Love this video! What size Key Bell did you get? I am guessing it is the smaller one--the one similar to the one on the alma bb. Is that right? Please let me know.
Thank you! It's the Alma Bb size.
Thank you! Your videos are great!
Great first video! Thanks for sharing. 😊
adrienne.everyday Thank you! I appreciate that! 💖
Very nice video, and I hope you make more.Big smile from Denmark
Birte Johnsen Thank you! Big smile back! 😀
Hi do you think the 30 is more of a work bag than the 25
It holds a lot more. It just depends what you carry. I do have a video of the 30 vs the 25, that might help.
Ketchup.....can’t believe it 🤪 so cool. Thanks for sharing 👍
Isn't that so weird? But it works!
U did a really good job! Nice useful video!
