Model History:
Created in the 1930s, the Speedy was inspired by the Keepall travel bag, but in a smaller version designed for everyday use. The Speedy 25, introduced at Audrey Hepburn’s request in the 1960s, has become one of Louis Vuitton’s most iconic models. Its rounded silhouette and supple design have made it a timeless classic of modern leather goods, highly prized by vintage enthusiasts in search of authenticity and Parisian style.
Exterior Details:
Dark brown Monogram canvas is printed with LV motifs and Monogram flowers in golden tones, and is water- and scratch-resistant. The natural cowhide handles, secured by riveted leather tabs, develop a patina over time, giving the bag a unique character. The gold zipper is accompanied by a leather pull tab, and the pull tab is embossed with the Louis Vuitton logo. The finishes, including the piping and corners, are also in natural leather, underlining the quality of the materials.
Interior details:
The interior is lined with brown cotton canvas, sober and easy to care for. It features a small patch pocket on the side, ideal for small items. The absence of complex compartmentalization provides open, versatile storage space. The Speedy’s flexible structure allows essential items to be carried in a compact form.

Care instructions:
To preserve the appearance of natural leather, avoid contact with water, creams or perfumes. Clean with a soft, dry cloth after use. Store in a pouch away from moisture and direct light to preserve the leather’s patina. Avoid overloading the bag to maintain its original shape.
