Either speedy is a classic, however you will find if you go to a LV boutique the 30 is more useful. The neverfull is only available in Mono right now, ebene will be available in June in the US.
I would go with the speedy mono in 30 and the black Gucci brit bag. This way you have one handbag with brown tones and one with the black tones, although I wear my speedy with every thing I own

always searching...

From the gucci bags although I don't really like the shape(sorry) I think the beige canvas is far better!!!
For the speedy I agree with newcitylady that the 30 is better...but you have to try them on.
Also if you can wait for the neverfull in damier that would be great!
To sum up I say go for the beige canvas gucci and the mono speedy...great combination...
If you want especially a black bag(although mono instead of damier looks good with black clothes)...buy the beige gucci and may I suggest a black epi leather speedy???? it is TDF...

just shopping!

oh, i should also say that i am 5'2 and 115lbs. i think the 30 is way too big on me. i tried it on and it looked like luggage. im a small handbag kinda gal. i carry my laptop in my computer bag with files, etc.

i'm just trying to get the most pros and cons here. i prob won't be buying another LV or Gucci for a while. i am getting engaged and taking the bar exam this year. lots of expenses so-just want to maximize the purchase.

also, seems like you all aren't diggin' the damier speedy....hmmm...i thought that would get a better response bc of the fact that it doesn't scream LV.

ok-well i have decided on the black gucci new britt hobo for sure. i have also decided on monogram for the lv. but i am def now leaning towards the neverfull pm bc it is a shoulder bag instead of a handbag.

How about epi madeleine? You can chose between GM and PM. My cousin are in the same situation as you, she likes this bag because it doesn't scream LV and you can put files in it. From your list, I would say "speedy 25".

I wear mono with black all the time....it looks chic. I think you're being too matchy-matchy! LOL I don't care for the neverfull, but that's up to you. People have complained about the flimsy handles on it. I'd still go with a speedy!
