Q: What are the measurements of the Speedy Epi 40 and how roomy is it?
A: Approximate measurements are 40 × 25 × 19 cm. It is the largest classic Speedy size and comfortably fits daily and travel essentials such as a 13" laptop or tablet, A4 documents, a toiletry pouch, a compact umbrella, and a light jumper. Capacity varies with how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.

Q: Does this model come with a shoulder strap?
A: No. This is the classic Speedy designed to be carried by the rolled top handles. Shoulder/crossbody carry is available on the Bandoulière versions, which have strap attachments. The handle drop on this piece is approximately 11 cm, ideal for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry.

Q: Does the Epi Speedy 40 have an exterior pocket?
A: Yes. Most Epi Speedy 40 models feature a handy exterior slip pocket on one side in addition to the interior pocket, which is useful for travel documents or slim items you need to access quickly.

Q: What typically fits inside—will a laptop fit?
A: A 13" laptop (such as a MacBook Air) fits easily; many 14" laptops also fit. Some 15" models may fit depending on the bezel size and sleeve thickness. Keep in mind the zip opening is narrower than the base, so a slim sleeve is recommended for larger devices.

Q: Is the Speedy 40 suitable as cabin baggage?
A: Generally yes. At 40 cm in length, it is within the cabin size limits of many airlines and can often be placed under the seat on most aircraft. Policies vary by carrier and route, so we recommend checking your airline’s current guidelines before travelling.

Q: What are the benefits of Louis Vuitton’s Epi leather?
A: Epi is a sturdy, textured, dyed‑through leather that is more structured and resistant to scratches and light moisture than many smooth leathers. It holds its shape well, making it an excellent choice for frequent use and travel.

Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather?
A: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and immediately dry; avoid harsh cleaners, oils, and alcohol‑based products. Keep away from prolonged sunlight and humidity to preserve the colour. Store the bag loosely stuffed in its dust bag to help maintain the shape, and consult a professional for deep cleaning or colour touch‑ups if needed.

Q: What does the date code VI 0921 indicate?
A: On vintage Louis Vuitton pieces, letters denote a factory code and the four digits from this era usually represent month and year. The code “VI 0921” typically points to a production date of February 1991. Please note that factory letters do not necessarily equate to the country on the made‑in stamp, and more recent items may use microchips rather than date codes.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this piece, that includes a dust bag and a padlock. If an item isn’t listed there (e.g., keys, box), it is not included.

Q: How do you authenticate this bag?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and codes. We guarantee the authenticity of all items and can provide additional details upon request.
