Description
Model History:
The Speedy bag is one of Louis Vuitton’s most iconic models, launched in the 1930s as the city version of the Keepall travel bag. Its 30 cm version is particularly sought-after for its perfect balance between elegance and practicality. Appreciated by figures such as Audrey Hepburn, who contributed to its popularity, the Speedy has established itself as a classic in women’s wardrobes. Its timeless design and Monogram canvas – introduced at the end of the 19th century – make it a pillar of French luxury history.
Exterior Details:
The bag features coated Monogram canvas, resistant and waterproof, recognizable by its interlaced LV pattern of stylized flowers on a brown background. The patinated natural leather handles (natural cowhide) retain their original shape and develop a characteristic honey hue over time. The bag measures approximately 30 cm in length, 21 cm in height and 17 cm in depth, with gilded brass finishes on the zipper and padlock.
Interior Details:
The interior of the bag is lined with a plain brown textile canvas, typical of vintage versions of the Speedy. There’s a small patch pocket on the side, ideal for storing small items. The absence of a superfluous lining enhances the bag’s lightness, while ensuring its resistance to frequent use.
Product Condition:
This bag is in very good condition for a vintage item. The Monogram canvas is intact, with no cracks or discolorations. The leather handles show an even patina with no cracks, and the metal elements show only slight oxidation marks, consistent with the age of the product. The lock works perfectly, and the padlock is operational with its two included keys.
Care instructions:
To preserve the luster of Monogramme canvas, regular cleaning with a soft, slightly damp cloth is sufficient. Natural leather must be protected from humidity and prolonged exposure to sunlight. We advise you to store the bag in a cotton pouch, away from light, and to avoid overloading it, which could alter its shape.
Why to choose this product :
The vintage Speedy 30 is an emblematic piece of Louis Vuitton heritage, prized for its distinctive silhouette and quality craftsmanship. Choosing a vintage model, complete with padlock and keys, is to treat yourself to a piece of luxury leather goods history, while investing in a timeless, functional and durable accessory. Its authenticity and natural patina make it a unique object, ideal for lovers of period pieces with strong symbolic value.
