Just bought this bag from a reseller and you can tell that the bag was not stuffed when stored. Without the felt insert, it folds over. She has some damage from use and I’m mostly okay with it. I plan to use her and not baby her.

I have two questions though: can I do anything to polish up the scratched up hardware and can I do anything to straighten the front right and back right seams?

I should add that I have had it authenticated (LegitGrails) and I don’t plan to send it to the spa until I’ve worn it enough for it to be worth being gone for several months to a year. I also will not be sending it to any other spa in the meantime.

If this is normal wear due to the way it was stored and I’m being overly critical, feel free to kindly tell me so. She is a 2017 Togo B30 in Bleu Nuit.

Please take a look and let me know your thoughts. TIA.

I saw it on purse blog and google image search isn’t helping!

I thought Speedy Softs are supposed to be lined in leather. This one seems unlined? Is the is just a naming trick to get people to pay more for it? I understand it has the Soft shoulder handle that all the others do but I don’t get it. Even the men’s collection embroidered denim speedy has lining. Make it make sense.

On a tangent I’m starting to feel disappointed by Louis Vuitton. They just released the Damier speedy with no lock and an Alma without the feet. They are just opting out of features that are central to the design. It seems like cost cutting for the sake of cost cutting.
