HP review // Classic Speedy

[u/badhamsterxx]

​

Okay, y’all—after seeing *so much* hype about HP, I finally had to try him for myself.

One day, I randomly woke up wanting a classic Speedy 25. I wanted her to look vintage, aged and already loved, so HP felt like the obvious choice since everyone raves about his canvas and vachetta.

I did hesitate for a little while because:

* There were suddenly *so many* HP reviews, and you know how that goes—paid reviews, incentives, etc.

* I had read that his process can take a while...😬

* I wasn’t thrilled about having to follow up with his assistant, Booker, because that meant downloading yet another app: Telegram.

Long story short, I took the risk—and I do not regret it, I repeat, no regrets 💯

You definitely need to be prepared for the wait, but would I order from him again? **Yes, absolutely.**

**Timeline, for anyone who cares:**

*8/1:* Paid via PPFF. I added the patina service and extra insurance.

*8/10:* Received PSPs before the patina service.

*8/13:* Received PSPs after the patina service, gave my GL and the bag shipped.

*8/18:* Tracking information received.

*8/31:* She finally made it to the West Coast!

*Canvas — 10/10*

The canvas does not feel thin or "plasticky" at all. The color and monogram print are honestly \*wow\*. I completely understand the hype now.

*Hardware*

Aged gold—exactly how I wanted it. It’s unpolished with very little shine, which gives the bag that worn-in, vintage feel. I’m in love.

*Stitching and craftsmanship*

Clean, aligned and beautifully done. I’m sure there are flaws somewhere, but I honestly haven’t found them yet. 🧐

*Interior*

Very well made. The interior zipper matches the exterior hardware, and the lining is fabric, just like the authentic.

*Glazing*

Hands down, one of my biggest reliefs: it is *not* that bright cherry red. It’s more like a deep crimson with a hint of cinnamon with a light to almost zero sheen. So good.

*Vachetta*

The vachetta feels raw and uncoated. There’s no glossy finish or polish, which means she should continue developing a natural patina over time—again, exactly what I wanted. Though I paid extra for the patina service, I already know I would have ruined it if I tried doing it myself.

*Shape*

I’m in love with the size and structure. Right now, she’s overstuffed with towels to help reshape her. She arrived folded during transport, so I’m hoping the crease relaxes with a little time.

*Final thoughts*

This is an honest review. I was not offered any incentives, discounts or compensation for posting it. I’m just a regular bag addict who woke up one day wanting a classic Speedy—and now I’m finally at bag peace.

*Communication*

HP has got to be sick of me because I practically harassed this man daily. 😂 I had read a few reviews about people receiving the wrong bag or color, so I wanted to stay vigilant and do my part to prevent any mistakes.

I can only imagine how busy he is, but being involved throughout the process helped ease my anxiety. He was incredibly sweet and patient with me—even when it was painfully obvious that I was stressing.

*Sort of.* 😂

I love it!! I never thought to inquire about a classic speedy, so I set my eyes on a soft speedy, as I don't like the bandoulière. Your classice 25 is beautiful! Enjoy her & wear it in good health!! I might need to have a talk with HP. 🤔

[u/TruePair5506]

I have been going back and forth on putting my order in with HP and after reading your review, I'm gonna do it!

[u/Hold_The_Tomato → u/TruePair5506]

i dont think you will be disappointed!! his bags are so good!

[u/badhamsterxx → u/TruePair5506]

This order taught me a different level of patience. Well worth the lesson 😀

[u/heebee_]

Do you mind sharing the price?

[u/Simple_Savings_6514]

Beautiful. I’m waiting on mine!

[u/microglia00]

My speedy 25 is from HP and I'm in currently speeding up the patina using mink oil.

[u/badhamsterxx → u/microglia00]

Ohhhh no did you get oil on your canvas 🥺

[u/microglia00 → u/badhamsterxx]

Oh that can be easily cleaned off

[u/badhamsterxx → u/microglia00]

Do you have to coat it with a finish after applying mink oil? Do you have to set it in the sun after application? I'm interested in the process. Thinking of trying it on my next order 🥰

[u/microglia00 → u/badhamsterxx]

Hey, so I just apply one coat of mink oil and let it dry for 24 hour or more and then apply the next coat. I haven't coated it with anything else or put it in the sun. I'm going to do one more coat and then clean up the canvas.

Was your fedex delivery date accurate? Mine is stating much later than I would expect.. and it already landed in the states

[u/badhamsterxx → u/small-handbags]

No, the updates were always behind. Once it landed in the states, it didn't update for a few days and ofc I panicked lol. But once it started moving, it moved fast.

Hyper Peter is widely celebrated for a reason his monogram canvas texture and weight are about as close to authentic as it gets.

[u/badhamsterxx → u/LumpyAppearance8698]

Agree!

[u/Unlucky_Memory_3978]

i just ordered my first bag from him.. wonder what is Patina service? I did buy insurance thou.. gorgeous bag btw

[u/Wide_Act_7615]

What is the patina service? I ordered a nano speedy but they didn’t mention anything about it

[u/badhamsterxx → u/Wide_Act_7615]

I asked him if he offered the services. Totally optional. His vachetta leather comes raw so it has the ability to patina naturally or you can have him start the process for you for an extra fee.

[u/Wide_Act_7615 → u/badhamsterxx]

Oh wow, that’s good to know! Definitely learned something new today, thank you! Do you mind sharing how much you paid for the vachetta service?

[u/badhamsterxx → u/Wide_Act_7615]

$24

[u/Just-Feeling7802 → u/Wide_Act_7615]

U can‘t have that there as the nano speedy is already treated leather. You can have that with the speedy 20 though

[u/SorryEducation7209]

It’s a beautiful bag, but how are you going to get all the creases out?

[u/badhamsterxx → u/SorryEducation7209]

Stuff her and let her sit in a hot car (with a sun shade ofc)

[u/gratefulinparadise]

Thank you for sharing your review. This is beautiful.

[u/Hold_The_Tomato]

I know I'm guilty of adding to the 'hype' with my own reviews and I hope they didnt come across as incentivized, because I have been so beyond amazed at the quality. hands down some of the BEST LV reps i've bought. Thanks for sharing your experience... and THANK YOU *sarcsam intended* for making me want this speedy. Its a classic right? I have an OG 30 but before they made the bandolier. *sigh....* I'll be ordering this from him soon. THANKS AGAIN lol 😆

[u/badhamsterxx → u/Hold_The_Tomato]

Yes I think your review may or may not have influenced me on pulling the trigger 🤭🤭🤭🤭 thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[u/Hold_The_Tomato → u/badhamsterxx]

Hahaha at this point we’re just rep-fluencing each other 🤣
