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 measurements and what typically fits inside the Speedy Bandoulière 30? A: Approx. 30 × 21 × 17 cm. It comfortably holds daily essentials such as a long wallet, a 9-inch tablet, phone, keys, sunglasses and a small cosmetics pouch. Capacity will vary based on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can I wear this bag crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes. It comes with a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 48–55 cm, and dual rolled top handles (around 8 cm drop) for hand or crook-of-arm carry.
Q: What is the Tahitienne edition? A: The Tahitienne is a limited 2017 reinterpretation of Damier Azur featuring a playful pink motif over the canvas and a pink interior. For the Speedy, this edition was released as the Bandoulière 30 size, making it a collectible twist on the classic.
Q: What materials and interior does this piece have? A: Damier Azur Tahitienne coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim, gold‑tone hardware, pink textile lining and a top zip with an interior pocket—designed for lightness and everyday durability.
Q: Is Damier Azur prone to colour transfer? A: Light-coloured coated canvas can pick up dye from dark fabrics (for example new denim). Minimise prolonged rubbing against heavily dyed garments and avoid contact with newspapers/magazines. If light transfer occurs on the canvas, gently wipe with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water and mild soap; avoid alcohol-based or harsh cleaners. Persistent stains are best assessed by a specialist.
Q: How does Vachetta leather age and how should I care for it? A: Vachetta is natural, untreated leather that develops a honey patina over time. Keep it dry, avoid oils/hand sanitiser and rain where possible, and wipe with a soft dry cloth after use. Do not use household cleaners. If it becomes wet, blot gently and allow to air-dry away from heat and sunlight.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed under product information, this piece includes a detachable shoulder strap. Anything else that is included will be specified there; if an item is not listed, it is not included—please contact us if you would like us to confirm specifics.
Q: What does the date code DU1117 mean? A: DU1117 indicates production in France in the 11th week of 2017, consistent with Louis Vuitton’s week/year date-code format used during that period.
Q: How should I store the bag to maintain its shape and finish? A: Store lightly stuffed to support the silhouette, in a breathable dust bag, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid overfilling during use to prevent distortion of the canvas and seams.
Q: Are there any condition notes I should be aware of for this specific piece? A: Yes. The Vachetta leather has developed a patina with some corner scuffs; the interior lining shows stains and a noticeable odour; hardware is shiny with light scratches. Airing the bag in a ventilated space and using odour-absorbing sachets may help reduce the scent, though results can vary.
