LV Speedy 25 in Damier Azur

Photos

Quality - 9.5/10

  • Stitching is nice and straight, no loose or messy stitching
  • (-0.5) hardware on handles are lightly scratched. All other hardware seems to be in good condition
  • Rivets are on nice. However, I found 2 random rivets on the inside of my bag? None seems to be missing so no points deducted… just a surprise haha.
  • Engraving on all hardware is deep and legible.
  • LV imprint on tab is crisp and deep. Well aligned.
  • Canvas is good quality, not too thin or thick. Easily malleable but hold form when placed on a table.
  • Zipper opens and closes cleanly.

Accuracy - 9.5/10

  • Starting off with the easy stuff
    • “Louis Vuitton” logo is at the right location (3 squares in and 6 squares up on the front/back of the bag. 3 squares in and 5 squares up on the bottom of the bag. 5 squares in and 6 squares up on the sides of the bag)
    • Bag uses 3 pieces of Canvas like auth
    • Color looks great
    • Stitching is nice and clean, uses the dark brown on the handles and a lighter brown on the canvas which is accurate
    • Gold is on the brassy side which lines up with the videos of auth I watched
  • Key number matches lock number
  • (-0.5) Canvas looks a little too orange compared to auth with has a more classic brown undertone

Overall for a mid-tier bag on sale, there’s nothing really calloutable or inaccurate for me. I watched a couple of youtube videos on the Speedy 25 and unfortunately most of them for for the bandouliere so it was hard to do a 1:1 comparison.

Satisfaction - 10/10

Very satisfied with this bag purchase! For under $100, I really couldn’t ask for much more. I’m still trying to get the creases out of the bag but that’s also an issue with the auth because it’s packaged flat. If I were to rebuy it, maybe I would’ve bought the bandouliere so I didn’t have to hand carry it but I still love it!

I wanted to buy this exact one but Gary told me it’s been sold out😭

Yours looks amazing!!! ⏤ by piscatology0918 (↑ 2/ ↓ 0)

Wow, I’m pretty amazed with the LV Speedy in the Damier! I have this exact bag that is authentic and your bag is pretty much it! I’ve seen a lot of terrible fakes but your LV is the best fake I have seen yet! I think it could even be in the “Super Fakes” category that came out about five years ago that even the experts were having a tough time authenticating. I hope you let us know how it’s holding up. It looks awesome. Congrats to you!! ⏤ by anasanfran (↑ 1/ ↓ 0)
