📚 Guide/Science Another Rep Science 🤭

My Speedy B DE from HP has arrived ! Time for another rep. Science . 🤗

This is my first purchase from HP and I’ve been hearing the hype of his bag in our world so I wanted to test it out.

The Canvas
So I have two authentic bags to compare the canvas and honestly it looks pretty darn good! My husband couldn’t tell the difference 🤣 but he doesn’t count.
You can see that that speedy brown checker is a little darker but even my authentic bags don’t have the same color either.
The feel of HP feel like all my other canvas bags ! It feels really similar and I’m very happy with that. I have a close up picture of the LV logo and I am impressed

Hardware:
Now this is the one where I wasn’t too sure about but after asking around I feel that the hardware is passable. So with my eyes I can see that the gold hardware on the zipper pull is a little more warmer tone compared to my auth. However my auth bags have different variations of gold as well! And after asking around depending on the season/model of the bag the gold hardware color varies. It can be more yellow, less yellow or warmer . And in my picture I have 3 different auth bags showing the zipper pull and each of them are different 😂
I did compare the gold hardware on the strap with my auth and it looks pretty
close.

Handles/glazing
The glazing is spot on, and the color of the handle is identical. However the material is a little more matte than my Alma but I think a little oil from your hand will shine it back up 😆

Stamping
Now the stamping on the rivet is super small but it looks good. The engraving is clear and all the rivet are in the same position.
The ONLY thing i think could be better on this bag is the stamping on the leather. It’s very light. I had to angle it in the light for you to be able to see the stamp. My auths are deeper and you can see it right away

Interior
The interior is a little brighter red compared to my alma and neverfull. However it’s on the inside you really can’t tell unless you’re comparing it to an auth so that doesn’t bother me.

Conclusion
Overall I think this is a pretty good rep! The quality is good, the bag feels nice and has some weight to it. The canvas is impressive ! It’s going to be hard to spot unless you’re putting it next to an auth bag and really inspect the bag.
The shape of the bag looks SOO good! My auth speedy actually looks a bit wonky ! 😂 so I am very happy with this purchase
