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 of the Speedy 35 and what typically fits inside? A: The classic Speedy 35 is around 35 × 23 × 18 cm; this individual bag is listed at approximately 35 × 24 × 19 cm. It comfortably holds daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, cosmetics pouch, notebook or tablet, a small water bottle, and a light scarf. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact size of this piece.
Q: Can I wear this bag crossbody or on the shoulder? A: Yes. This is the Bandoulière version, designed with top handles and a detachable, adjustable strap for shoulder or crossbody wear. Everything included with this item is listed under product information.
Q: Will a 13-inch laptop fit in the Speedy 35? A: A slim 13-inch laptop can usually be placed inside diagonally, but the zip opening is narrower than the body, so it may take a gentle angle to insert. It works best for occasional carry rather than daily use; we recommend a protective sleeve and mindful packing.
Q: What materials is this bag made from, and how durable is it? A: Damier Ebène is a coated canvas with dark brown treated leather trim. The canvas is hard‑wearing and more resistant to light rain and surface scuffs than many leathers, but it is not waterproof. Avoid overfilling, prolonged heat or sun, and harsh chemicals to preserve the finish.
Q: How should I clean and store Damier Ebène coated canvas? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soapy water if needed, then dry gently. Do not use alcohol, solvents, leather lotions, or home remedies on the canvas. When storing, keep the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag in a cool, ventilated place; avoid boxes or heat sources. Trim can be wiped with a dry, soft cloth only.
Q: Does the Speedy 35 sag, and how can I maintain its shape? A: The Speedy is a soft‑sided bag and may develop a gentle “smile” or base sag with use. Pack heavier items at the bottom and centre, use a lightweight organiser or base shaper if you prefer a structured look, and avoid chronic overloading.
Q: What does the date code LA3119 mean on this piece? A: Using the post‑2007 format, the first and third digits indicate the week and the second and fourth digits indicate the year. LA3119 therefore reads as week 31 of 2019. The letters denote the factory code; LA has been attributed to different locations over time, so the country should match the heat stamp. This bag is stamped Made in France, which aligns with LA being used for a French factory in this period.
Q: Do newer Louis Vuitton bags still have date codes? A: From approximately March 2021 onward, Louis Vuitton phased out stamped date codes in favour of embedded microchips. Pre‑2021 pieces like this 2019 example typically still have a conventional date code, while newer ones do not.
Q: What is included with this specific item? A: According to product information, this bag includes a detachable shoulder strap, padlock, and keys. Items not listed there are not included.
Q: Are there any condition notes I should be aware of for this bag? A: Yes. Exterior: very good with light signs of use. Interior: very good with some lining stains and a slight vintage odour. Hardware: shiny with light scratches. We photograph and describe notable signs of wear so you know exactly what to expect.
