Thanks for the details Bagnificent! I don't mind the slouch since I would use a purseket and that would give the bag some structure. I will probably go with F as Joys speedy handles are way too long and that is a dead giveaway to me!
i also have jacky's speedy B 25 and think it's a much better rep than fang's speedy b. jacky's are 40% cheaper in price too. yes, jacky's has its flaws too but compared to fang's, i'm definitely more comfortable carrying jacky's, at least he got the size and hardware right.
i gave the speedy b 25 go my mother in law as i found it too small for me, but can take some pics next time i see her.
Wow. Just saw J's Antheia Ixia in Gris Clair! Gorgeous (but then again the pics are always gorgeous at first because they are the real ones lol). I really want to order but I'm a bit too traumatized from the Cirrus MM which was awful that I sent back for a refund (shipping cost $50 to send back) which got held up by customs and I only got half my money back..actually still waiting for the refund. I'm just a little leary of his leather LV after the Cirrus frankenbag. Think I'll just wait for someone else to order the Ixia and see how they like it.
^ oh yes, that's exactly what i did when i had the speedy b 25. i got the purse-to-go and it made a huge difference. there's also a a bag shaper/organizer specifically made for each speedy size that you can consider.
which size speedy b were you thinking of getting?
IvyStar I'm lusting after the same bag but in Fumee!
One of the sellers on ioffer just sent me an email with pics of their new stock and they had the same bag and same colour. I asked how much its going to be and for extra pics so I can compare with J's.
The pic that J has - is that the authentic? :/
I'm thinking the speedy b 30. I'm pretty tall 5'9ish but I don't like sling bags to be too large on me. Did fangs come with the strap extender?
i think speedy b in 30 is the perfect size. for the regular handheld speedy, i like the 35 but IMO when carried with a strap, 30 is a good size. not sure if you mind it, but the handles on fang's speedy b 30 is about 1/2" longer than my auth mono speedy 30. i forgot to measure it against my friend's auth speedy b 30, but i would presume her auth speedy b 30 and my auth speedy 30 would have the same size handles. j's speedy b 25 handles looked kind of longish too, but i didn't measure it against an auth so i'm not certain.
yes - fang's came with an extender strap, a total of 3 pieces for the carry strap
Has anyone ordered J's Alexander Wang Lia sling? I really want this bag. Anyone who knows the brand, how is J's Lia? Looks good to me but I'm not familiar at all with the nuances of the bag.
Ohh IvyStar, that Delightful GM is really nice, you've got me contemplating one
And you look fine, very laid back and chill
btw, b+s finally got back to me about the strap and she's sending me one!! Yay!! It turns out she sent my strap back because it wasn't to her liking (the lining) and her assistant forgot about the strap lol. but they will ship me a strap
Which is fortunate because I am in love with the bag, and have been using her without the strap even. I've been wanting a light gray city since forever and was so mad on missing out on TandD's galet...
