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 in the Speedy 35 size? A: With approximate measurements of 37 × 23 × 19 cm, the Speedy 35 comfortably holds a long wallet, phone, keys, compact umbrella, cosmetic pouch, small water bottle, sunglasses case, a book or tablet, and a slim organiser. Capacity varies by how you pack; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Will a 13-inch laptop fit inside? A: Many slim 13-inch laptops can fit diagonally through the zip opening and sit horizontally once inside, but it depends on the device’s exact size and thickness. The zipper opening is narrower than the bag’s width, so you may need to angle the laptop to insert it. For frequent laptop carry, consider a protective sleeve and avoid overloading, or opt for a dedicated work bag or a Speedy Bandoulière for strap comfort.
Q: Does this model come with a shoulder strap? A: This is the classic handheld Speedy, designed to be carried by its dual rolled leather handles (approx. 9 cm handle drop). It does not include a strap. The Speedy Bandoulière versions have built-in D-rings and a detachable, adjustable strap for shoulder or crossbody wear.
Q: Does the Epi Speedy have an exterior pocket? A: Yes. Vintage Epi Speedy bags typically feature a handy exterior slip pocket in addition to the interior pocket, ideal for slim items you need quick access to.
Q: What are the benefits of Epi leather? A: Epi leather is known for being structured, durable and more water‑resistant than many smooth leathers. The textured, dyed‑through finish helps disguise light scratches and makes it a great choice for everyday use and travel in varied weather.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry gently. Avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to heat or direct sunlight. For deeper care, use leather‑appropriate products sparingly and store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape and minimise creasing.
Q: What does the date code VI 1914 mean on this bag? A: VI indicates manufacture in France. For the 1990–2006 format, the first and third digits denote the month and the second and fourth digits the year. Therefore, 1914 decodes to November 1994. Please note that date codes alone do not authenticate a bag; they are one of several indicators considered by experts.
Q: Is the Speedy 35 good for travel or daily use? A: The 35 is a spacious everyday bag that also works for light overnight packing. It fits under most airline seats as a personal item, though allowances vary by airline. If you prefer hands‑free carry for travel days, the Bandoulière variant is more practical thanks to its strap.
Q: How can I keep the bag from sagging? A: Use a lightweight organiser or base shaper to distribute weight evenly and help the bag keep its structure. Avoid overloading heavy items, which can increase sagging over time.
Q: What accessories are included with this specific item? A: As listed, this piece comes with no accessories. Items such as a padlock, keys or dust bag are not included unless explicitly stated. Feel free to contact us if you would like us to confirm what is included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional details on request.
