Description
Model History:
Originally launched in the 1930s as a women’s travel bag, the Speedy has become one of Louis Vuitton’s most iconic models. The Speedy 30 “Totem” version, presented in 2015 as a limited edition, reinterprets this classic through the prism of tribal art and art deco. This collection pays homage to the visual richness of totemic ornaments, marrying Louis Vuitton’s artisan heritage with a playful and vibrant spirit.
Exterior details:
The Monogram canvas is brought to life here with a striking play of contrasts thanks to pink and red patent leather inserts, complemented by blue and purple leather details. Rounded handles in pink patent leather provide a firm grip. Gold eyelets, zigzag cut-outs and colored reinforcements evoke the decorative elements of totem poles, giving the bag a graphic allure. The gilded brass zip is accompanied by Louis Vuitton’s signature padlock. The painted edges and corner finish underline the creative spirit of this special edition.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined in bright red canvas, in perfect harmony with the exterior chromatic palette. It includes a practical patch pocket for personal effects, as well as a leather label stamped “Louis Vuitton Paris” and a date code engraved on the inside. Storage space is generous, true to the Speedy 30 format, perfect for everyday use.
Product Condition:
The bag is in excellent condition, with a perfectly preserved outer canvas and vibrant colors with no dulling. The corners show very slight traces of use, consistent with a piece worn with care. The handles and patent leather elements are shiny, with no deep scratches. The zipper is smooth, and the interior is free of stains and odors.
Care instructions:
Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight to preserve the color intensity of the patent leather. Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Colored leather is sensitive to rubbing, so store the bag away from moisture and in its fabric cover when not in use.
