Which one would you pick?
A brand-new LV Speedy B 25 in damier azur, OR a preloved Loewe puzzle bag in sandmink medium size?
I'm looking for a medium-sized, light/neutral, everyday bag. Considering these two because:
I have the Speedy b25 in DE. It's the perfect size, carefree, and worn multiple ways. It's really one of my favorite bags. Figured getting it in a lighter color might work.
I have the Loewe puzzle, but in size small and smooth tan leather. I looove the leather of it, and really well made in my opinion. But I'm one of those people who find the opening difficult to get in and out of. So I'm thinking getting it in a bigger size would solve that issue.
Went to my local stores. Unfortunately, the LV boutique I went to doesn't have the Speedy B25 in DA print available at that time. Then Loewe only have the puzzle bags in edge version nowadays, which I don't prefer, so I looked into the preloved market and found a medium one in sand mink that's basically the same price as the LV Speedy b.
So I haven't seen any of these bags in person so I would really appreciate some inputs. Especially regarding color tone, and wear and tear. :)
(Initially was also considering the Gucci Marmont flap. Was also able to see one in store. Would have been willing to spend more for it, but I find it too small for my needs. But still throwing it in the mix because saw it in person, and it's soooo beautiful. 🤪)
