New to LV and seeking opinions on vintage bag
Hello! I’m new to the brand and just starting to explore it a bit. The Speedy, in various forms, has been on my radar for a few years on and off. I just find it to look so effortless and practical. I’ve recently found one from 1996 and would like opinions on the cost for condition, etc. I personally think it’s beautiful. It’s listed for $950 cad including shipping, so about $910 cad. In usd that’s about $655 currently, plus the cost of shipping.
My other question is about a strap—my understanding is that if I want to use a shoulder strap, I’d have to either get D rings installed or attach them to the existing rings. Is that right? Does attaching it to the existing rings make it sit weird on the body?
And as for age, I’ve read that the 90s were a great year for quality. But if I want this to last for years, and don’t “baby” my bags (I’m an active mom of 3, etc., always on the go), is a bag this old still a good choice for me?
Any guidance would be very appreciated! Thank you.
