Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Speedy Bandoulière 25? A: With approximate dimensions of 25 × 19 × 15 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, a compact umbrella, and a 500 ml water bottle. Many buyers also carry a small tablet (around 8 inches). Capacity depends on how you organise—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can I wear this bag crossbody as well as by hand? A: Yes. It has dual rolled handles for hand or crook-of-arm carry (approx. 9 cm drop) and a detachable, adjustable strap that allows shoulder or crossbody wear. On this piece the strap drop adjusts up to about 55 cm—comfortable crossbody length for most heights.
Q: Is Damier Ebene canvas durable and rain-friendly? A: Damier Ebene is a coated canvas that’s highly durable and water-resistant, making it well suited to everyday use and light rain. It is not fully waterproof, so avoid soaking; wipe dry promptly. The dark brown leather trim is more forgiving than untreated vachetta but should still be kept away from excessive moisture and oils.
Q: How should I care for the canvas, leather and lining? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh cleaners, alcohol-based wipes or conditioners on the canvas. Keep the leather trim dry; if needed, gently buff with a clean cloth. For the red textile lining, shake out debris or use a lint roller; spot-clean lightly with a damp cloth and leave to air dry. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Q: Does this listing include the padlock, keys and strap? A: Yes. This piece includes a padlock, keys and a detachable shoulder strap, as listed under product information. Only items explicitly mentioned in product information are included with the purchase.
Q: What does the date code DU2152 indicate? A: DU denotes manufacture in France. The numbers indicate production in the 25th week of 2012. Note that date codes are not unique serial numbers; they simply reference time and place of manufacture.
Q: Is the Speedy 25 accepted as hand luggage on flights? A: The 25 is typically used as a personal item/handbag and generally fits under most airline seats. Policies differ by carrier and ticket type, so please check your airline’s specific rules before travelling.
Q: There’s a slight vintage odour—any tips to reduce it? A: Air the bag in a cool, dry room away from direct sunlight. You can place odour-absorbing sachets (activated charcoal or baking soda in a breathable pouch) inside for a few days, replacing as needed. Avoid spraying perfumes or harsh deodorisers directly onto the materials.
Q: What should I know about the hardware on this vintage piece? A: The gold-tone hardware may show micro-scratches, dullness or light discolouration over time—normal for a pre-owned bag. Avoid metal polishes (they can remove plating); instead, gently buff with a soft microfiber cloth and keep hardware dry.
