Description
Model history:
The Speedy was introduced by Louis Vuitton in 1930 as the “Express”, inspired by the growing need for urban mobility. Conceived as a more compact version of travel luggage, it quickly became a classic. The Damier pattern, created in 1888 and reissued in the 1990s in an Ebene version, gives this model a graphic, enduring allure, an alternative to the emblematic monogram.
Exterior details:
The bag is made from coated Damier Ebene canvas, renowned for its strength and suppleness. Rounded brown leather handles make it comfortable to carry. The golden zipper is complemented by an engraved LV padlock and keys. Polished brass finishes add an understated touch of elegance, while rounded corners emphasize the fluidity of the shape. Approximate dimensions: 35 cm wide, 23 cm high and 18 cm deep.
Interior details:
The interior is lined with bright red textile fabric. It features a zippered patch pocket, ideal for storing small personal effects. There’s also a metal ring for hanging keys or accessories. The date code DU2181 attests to French manufacture during the 28ᵉ week of 2011.
