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 are the dimensions, and what does “35” mean? A: The Speedy Bandoulière 35 is approximately 35 x 23 x 18 cm (length x height x depth). The “35” refers to the bag’s length in centimetres at the base.
Q: What typically fits inside the Speedy Bandoulière 35? A: It comfortably holds daily essentials such as a long wallet, 12-inch tablet, phone, keys, small cosmetics pouch, a small water bottle and a paperback. Because the zip opening is narrower than the body, larger devices may need to be angled when inserting.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody and on the shoulder? A: Yes. The Bandoulière version includes a removable, adjustable strap with an approximate drop of 47–53.5 cm, allowing both shoulder and crossbody wear. The rolled top handles are designed for hand or crook-of-arm carry.
Q: What is the difference between the classic Speedy and the Speedy Bandoulière? A: The Bandoulière adds side D-rings and a detachable, adjustable strap for hands‑free wear, and typically features a double-zip closure with padlock. The classic handheld Speedy does not have the long strap and is intended to be carried by the top handles only.
Q: What materials is this model made from? A: Monogram coated canvas with natural cowhide (Vachetta) leather trim, textile lining and gold-colour hardware. The canvas is durable and lightweight, while the untreated Vachetta will deepen to a honey patina over time.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather and canvas? A: Keep the bag away from water, oils, and prolonged sunlight/heat. If it becomes lightly damp, blot gently with a clean, light-coloured cloth and allow it to air dry. Avoid soaps or solvents. When stored, loosely stuff the bag and place it in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape.
Q: Does this item come with a padlock and keys? A: Please refer to the product information on this page for what is included. For this piece, the product information lists a dust bag and a detachable shoulder strap. Items not listed there are not included.
Q: What does the date code RI1137 indicate? A: The letters identify the country of manufacture and the numbers indicate production timing by week and year. “RI” denotes a French workshop, and “1137” means it was made in week 13 of 2017.
Q: Will the Speedy 35 sag, and do I need a base shaper or organiser? A: The Speedy’s soft construction can naturally slouch when filled. Many owners enjoy this relaxed look; others use a lightweight organiser or base insert to add structure and protect the lining. It’s optional—packing heavier items at the bottom also helps reduce sagging.
Q: Is this particular item new? A: This is a pre-owned piece. It shows a warm patina on the Vachetta with some watermarks on one side; the lining has a few stains; and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos and product information for full details.
