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 of the Speedy 30? A: The classic Speedy 30 measures approximately 30 × 21 × 17 cm (length × height × depth). Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact size of this piece.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: This is the classic handheld Speedy 30, designed to be carried by its rolled leather handles. Only the Speedy Bandoulière versions include a detachable shoulder/crossbody strap.
Q: What typically fits inside a Speedy 30? A: It comfortably holds daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, a small cosmetic pouch, sunglasses, a compact umbrella or small water bottle, and a tablet or paperback. Capacity varies with how you pack and whether you use an organiser.
Q: Will a 13-inch laptop or A4 folder fit? A: A 13-inch laptop generally does not fit flat and may only go in at an angle, which can distort the zip and shape; an A4 folder is similar. If you need to carry these regularly, many users prefer the Speedy 35 instead.
Q: What are the materials and how should I care for them? A: The bag is crafted from Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim. Wipe canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth; keep Vachetta dry, blot any water immediately, and avoid chemicals, oils, and alcohol-based products. Store away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: Is the canvas water-resistant? A: Coated canvas is hard-wearing and can handle light splashes, but the Vachetta leather is untreated and will mark from water. Take care in rain and allow any moisture to dry naturally—do not use heat.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Everything included is listed under product information. Items like a padlock, key, clochette or dust bag are only included if explicitly stated there. This specific listing notes the bag only.
Q: How do you authenticate this vintage Louis Vuitton? Does it have a serial number? A: Louis Vuitton does not use serial numbers. Vintage pieces typically have a date code stamp; since 2021 the brand transitioned to internal microchips in newer items. Our specialists authenticate through multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and codes where applicable, and we stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
Q: Why are the handles darker than the trim in some areas? A: The natural Vachetta leather develops a patina from light, air, and contact over time. Darkening and small marks—especially on handles—are normal signs of use on vintage pieces and part of the material’s character.
Q: How can I minimise a vintage odour? A: Air the bag in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, and store it lightly filled so air can circulate. Odour-absorbing sachets (like charcoal) can help; avoid spraying perfumes or harsh deodorisers directly on the materials.
