Not to mention, we’ve got four non-invasive suggestions and ticks to enable you get even additional out of your Speedy bag! We took the under hacks for a spin making use of a vintage Speedy 35.
DIY O-Ring Strap
Our initial hack functions wonders not only for functionality (we all could use a longer strap from time to time!), but also to add a bit of flair. Personally I bought my speedy prior to the Speedy B was a factor, and even though I am unsure which I would have selected had the Speedy B been about currently, nothing at all beats the original.
The Speedy B could possibly be a bit additional functional, but the original Speedy is a correct classic. Worry not even though, we’ve got you covered with this trendy hack!

Interior Pocket Liner for Makeup
Final week I polled you all to see how you tote about your cosmetics, and in the post I discussed how I previously created use of interior pockets when I primarily utilised bigger bags. My Speedy’s pocket, specifically, has carried tons of lipsticks and powder palettes and I can unquestionably inform you I’ve had to wipe up a couple of stains
This hack is not only uncomplicated, but it is also each inexpensive and extremely efficient! All you will need is a sandwich bag and a pair of scissors. Instantaneously you have got a spot to retailer your cosmetics when guarding your bag at the very same time.

Be certain to tie the scarf on opposite ends (a single on the bag’s back, and the opposite manage on the bag’s front, as shown).
Interior Bag Shapers
Just before
Right after
My favored hack of all, even though a lot additional sensible than exciting, are these extremely valuable bag shapers. I had my Speedy 25 packed away in storage for just about five years with out a single use. When I took my small lady out for a spin I was upset at how misshapen it was. I utilised to retailer it flattened out, and even though I’ve begun to retailer it super stuffed, it nonetheless does not hold its shape effectively at all. I am about to order a single of these for my bag also!
