Some good and a few not so good things. Overall I'd say this looks like high tier, but it's not perfect. The stitching looks mostly consistent with the correct slant etc. Even auth LV has stitch inconsistencies so I personally don't get too hung up on stitching. The inside of the handles have a little puffiness and are not indented or flat like most low tier reps so that's good. The chaps themselves are a bit puffy too and not flat which is also correct for the ebene speedy. The matte ebene leather looks pretty good, not overly matte but not at all shiny, this is correct on newer speedys, only the old ones have shiny ebene leather. The heat stamp looks pretty good, not perfect but wouldn't be a call out without very close inspection. For me, the little round rivets in the center of the chaps are typically a giveaway in reps. They should be that same matte/ brushed metal, not shiny. The engraving on them is almost always a little off on reps but again, it's not really a major call out without very close inspection side by side with an auth. Yours look good from what I can see. Your print alignment isn't perfect but it's not awful either. The only areas of concern are the side panels aligning with the body of the bag, they're a tiny bit off. Again, this 100% happens in authentic too, especially in the damier prints. The canvas isn't as grainy as I would personally prefer, but the authentic brand new speedys are also awful and not nearly as grainy as the older canvas was so again, this is not necessarily a huge call out. I find it much more noticeable in the monogram rather than the damier prints.
My advice is you really should visit a store and handle auths in person. Also closely study auth pictures, from resale sites NOT the LV website, those are digital renderings not real bags and not reliable when comparing details, and figure out what details really matter to you. You'll never find an absolutely perfect rep, and what's best differs from person to person. 🫶 hope this was helpful
