Purseonals: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene speedy 30cm

To begin off our new category, Purseonals, I decided to evaluation my Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene speedy 30cm. I bought this bag a couple years back to total my little speedy collection of a 35cm, 30cm, as well as 25cm. The speedy is one of the most iconic purses in the world as well as so prominent that many of you most likely own at least one as well.

Here is exactly how my speedy scores in our PurseBlog Purseonals ratings:

Aesthetics
The rounded shape of the Louis Vuitton speedy is one of the most recognizable shapes in the purse market. Some people like the shape, some people dislike it. I occur to like it. There are two short leather handles on top of the body of the bag.

The Damier Ebene provides a checker board appearance with dark brown as well as a lighter brown pattern. I liked this pattern when it very first came out in the speedy shape as well as I still like it now, however I discover it a tad masculine. Of program the traditional monogram canvas has been utilized as well as abused, however I prefer it on the speedy more than the Damier Ebene.

Usability + performance
While the speedy is extremely spacious since of the shape, that is about as far as we can go with its usability as well as functionality. I prefer a bag that has an choice shoulder strap or can be put over the shoulder, as well as this speedy has neither option. The bag must be brought by hand or in the crook of your arm. That leaves me with one less usable hand to get things accomplished as well as in this day as well as age, having both hands accessible at all times is important.

The bag loses shape extremely quickly when you hold it, which means it doesn’t have a flat bottom with rounded sides when carried. Anything you put in the bag rolls around at the bottom, which further ruins the shape the more you put in as well as truly makes finding specific products hard. I was bring this bag last week as well as for the life of me might never discover anything I needed when I needed it. My phone would hide under my wallet, my secrets never seemed to jingle in the right place, as well as my lip gloss was buried beneath all the products I carry.

There is an inside pocket, however let me be honest: it is difficult to get to. The flat pocket never gets utilize unless I am sitting down as well as open the bag to gain access to it. This bag looks fantastic when it is empty as well as required into the perfect shape, however it looses that instantly upon adding any type of products or bring it.

Quality + building
Many new to the purse world have a misconception about the traditional monogram or Damier canvas bags from Louis Vuttion. These are not leather, they are coated canvas. The handles as well as piping are tan vachetta leather, which has held up extremely well for me over time.

While the body of the bag is not leather, there are major pluses about coated canvas. For one, I utilize this bag in the rain extremely regularly. In fact, this speedy is one of my go-to bags in inclement weather condition since it does not get ruined. I just wipe the water off the bag as well as it is just fine. true story: Over the weekend I was at a college football game as well as took this bag with me. I was sitting down enjoying some poultry fingers as well as fries when the team mascot began shooting shirts into the crowd. somehow a shirt was headed my method as well as I was specific the guy around me would jump up as well as get it. Unfortunately, nobody did, as well as the shirt landed directly in my lap, splashing ketchup as well as BBQ sauce around me as well as my bag. I grabbed a napkin as well as wiped it right off my Speedy, which left absolutely no discolor as well as was the simplest clean up ever.

Every part that makes this bag is high quality. I have not had a issue with the coated canvas, with the leather, with the hardware/zipper, ever. In fact, as you can tell from these photos, this bag is in amazing shape as well as I have had it over 3 years.

Another plus is the weight of the bag. This bag is extremely lightweight, which makes it much more pleasant to carry.

Value
The cost of Louis Vuitton bags, like all other high-end designers, has increased with time. Louis Vuitton has cost hikes yearly as well as this bag is now being offered for $775. For this cost you can buy two authentic leather bags from a contemporary designer, however in the premiere purse market, $775 seems par for the course.

Taking materials utilized as well as brand name into account, I still discover this bag overpriced of what you get.

Staying Power
The speedy will always be iconic, ALWAYS. It depends upon personal preference for the version of the speedy you like. I discover the Damier Ebene canvas to not be as iconic as the traditional monogram canvas.
