Gorgeous!! I just emailed Fang about this bag! I totally agree. Fangs LV is much higher quality in terms of the details than J or Catty. How are the handles? I have noticed that on every speedy rep the handles are a tad to a lot too long. How is the red glaze? Is it super bright red? Would you post a modelling pic?? Sorry for the bombardment but I want this bag and was considering buying this. TIA!
The handles are hands down the best I've ever come across on an LV rep. Truly impeccable. Correct length, clean stitching and crisp, clean glaze (not messy and all over the place like Jacky & Catty), structured and strong, not bendable like old school Barbie legs lol. As for mod pics, there are plenty over at TPF in the "your LV in action" thread
Dang girl, what you got in that thing?? haha! It looks great!
...the stuffing the bag was shipped with?
I love that Speedy B Amethyst - what are the best parts of the bag compared to J or C? I want to look into Fang's LVs!
You know how there's that unmistakable sense of difference in overall quality between a rep and the real thing? not talking about comparing details or number of stitches or pattern placement, etc. I'm talking the two look identical, but one just
feels right? looks more...
luxe? that's the difference between Jacky and Fang. Jacky's bags are great for the price, and they can pass for auth if you don't look closely. But if you put one of his bags next to a Fang bag, you can immediately tell there's a difference in
quality. For one thing, Fang's heat stamps are genuine
heat stamps. The font is actually embossed into the leather, the way it's supposed to be. Not printed on. The canvas is the correct color and the vachetta is in another league. The hardware is heavy, the zippers zip smoothly and don't catch or snag, and the handles are the creme de la creme. I would have no qualms whatsoever carrying this bag into Louis Vuitton, Neiman Marcus, or setting it down around other women carrying auth.
Amethyst, Fang's Speedy is amazing!! The only Fang bag I have is a Chanel Reissue which I have to admit is stunning, but I haven't ventured out into any of her other items! You may have convinced me to try!
I definitely recommend her LV! I can't wait to try out her Chanel next!
On the topic of NBF colors, I definitely prefer Cyprus over the other two greens. Militaire is identical (IMO) to Light Olive which they've already run and Vert Menthe is a really weird, unattractive green that looks like a whole bunch of wrong colors got washed together in the washing machine and resulted in this funked up frankencolor. Cyprus is rich, luxe and a shade darker than Vert Gazon, which I love! I would love to have a classic emerald green bal!
