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 inside the Speedy 30? A: With measurements around 30 × 21 × 18 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch, compact umbrella, and an A5 notebook or an 11-inch tablet. A4 papers generally do not lie flat due to the curved zip opening. 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 handheld Speedy designed to be carried by its rolled leather handles. Only the Speedy Bandoulière versions include a detachable strap. The handle drop on this piece is approximately 8 cm.
Q: Can I add a strap to the classic Speedy 30? A: Some owners use strap converters or clip a strap to the handle hardware, but this is not part of the original design and can cause wear or distortion if the bag is heavily loaded. If you prefer hands‑free carry, a Speedy Bandoulière is the purpose‑built option.
Q: Is the Stephen Sprouse graffiti print durable? A: The graffiti artwork is screen‑printed over Monogram coated canvas. The canvas is robust, but printed areas can show rubbing on high‑touch points with normal use. For cleaning, wipe gently with a soft cloth slightly dampened with soapy water, avoid solvents or alcohol‑based products, and avoid scrubbing printed portions.
Q: What does the date code TH0051 indicate? A: TH denotes production in France. For codes used from 1990–2006, the first and third digits indicate the month and the second and fourth indicate the year, so TH0051 corresponds to May 2001. Date codes are not unique and should not be used alone to authenticate a bag.
Q: Is this from the original 2001 Sprouse collection or the 2009 tribute? A: The khaki/green graffiti colourway belongs to the original 2001 collaboration. The 2009 tribute typically featured neon tones (such as pink or orange) with a smaller script.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and vachetta leather? A: Keep the bag dry and store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Clean coated canvas with a soft cloth and slightly soapy water, avoiding printed portions; do not use chemicals or alcohol. Vachetta leather is untreated and will naturally develop a deeper patina; avoid water, oils and hand sanitiser to minimise marks.
Q: Will A4 documents or a laptop fit? A: Slim A4 sheets may fit diagonally but not flat. This size is best for A5 notebooks or an 11-inch tablet. Most 13-inch laptops are too large for the opening and shape.
Q: What items are included with this listing? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. This listing currently shows no additional items such as a padlock, keys or a dust bag unless explicitly stated there.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is inspected by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details or photos on request.
