Is it Lacoste?</p> <p>I was Incredibly embarrassed for her. I think her top had a logo too.</p> <p>I definitely won't be sporting that look thank you very much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lv-speedy-30#post-28693 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:47:23 +0000 Alecia 28693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with the others on logo stuff. I'm not a big fan of it for myself. But I also don't generally sneer at people that wear logo stuff. Ok, I sometimes look a little askance at people in head to toe logo. That's just strange.</p> <p>But it seems like you may have a little trepidation about carrying it due to your lifestyle and that raises a little red flag. When I have these little nagging questions about stuff I tend not to wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lv-speedy-30#post-28692 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:44:07 +0000 Debbie 28692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yes I love the shape too and when I first saw it in France many years ago, there were not fakes around at all. So it still had quite a "cachet".</p> <p>I think my DH just bought me one in China. I texted him to make sure it is not fake because I do not want a fake one and have not heard back yet. He knows well that I do not want a fake so . . we"ll see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lv-speedy-30#post-28690 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:37:17 +0000 Nicole 28690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HA Ana, that is a funny story! I actually had to google LV Speedy to see what the heck HL was talking about. I know nothing about designer bags, and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a real one and a fake one if my life depended on it. </p> <p>I will say that I really like the shape of that bag. It reminds me of a doctor bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lv-speedy-30#post-28689 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:33:32 +0000 Ana 28689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember my first encounter with a LV Speedy bag. I lived in a small town growing up, too. When I was 18, I worked in a music (musical instruments) shop. One day, a gal came in to buy sheet music or something, and she was carrying a white one with colorful LVs on it. As I checked out her bag I thought to myself, "Those look like the bags they are selling on those stands at the mall (knockoffs, but I had no clue who Louis Vuitton even was at the time). I like the color combo--why would you want Roman Numerals all over your purse, though?" I told the lady I liked her purse and said I saw they were starting to sell them at the mall. Did she get it at the mall? She got really huffy and said, "Well, I got mine at a boutique in Hawaii." When she left I thought, "Why would go all the way to Hawaii to get a purse like that when you can get one at the mall?" Anyway, later on when I figured out the LV was a logo splashed all over the bag, I was rather less impressed with it. </p> <p>BUT--here's the thing. You have loved the bag since you were in college, and because you love it (I hope) you would get a lot of use out of it. You have the money to spend on it, and the Speedy is pretty classic, too. Unless something is seriously unflattering (and I would not put it in that category), does it really matter what we think--if you love it that much? </p> <p>I think you should get it. Just expect some 18 year old to ask if you got it at the mall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lv-speedy-30#post-28686 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 11:51:52 +0000 Nicole 28686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with San about logos on bag. Not my cup of tea. I think designers should PAY us to be walking billboards--not the other way around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lv-speedy-30#post-28677 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 03:33:57 +0000 Anonymous 28677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never have cared for the logo all over a bag. Some people do like it though. Sounds like you do since you've been wanting one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lv-speedy-30#post-28672 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 02:47:46 +0000 Debbie 28672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have wanted a LV speedy since I was a college student living in France in the late 70s.</p> <p>I still am totally attracted to it and also to the classic Chanel bag.</p> <p>I can afford it now but wonder about it. On our last trip my Dh and I went into the brand new LV store and looked it over.</p> <p>Probably no one in my town carries a bag like that. My town is so casual and people do not dress up. In fact my black patent tote REALLY stands out. Should I get the LV out of my mind? Is it gauche to wear a bag with it's logo all over it?</p> <p>Doesn't it go with everything if I wear lots of solids and black?</p> <p>Do you think it fits my look? Can it fit into a casual lifestyle?</p> <p>Should I save my $700 and forget it? </p>
