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 dimensions and how much can the Speedy 25 hold? A: The Speedy 25 measures approximately 25 × 19 × 15 cm. In daily use it comfortably fits a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses case, a compact umbrella or a 500 ml bottle, and a small cosmetics pouch. Capacity depends on how you pack and the structured Epi leather; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact figures.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: This is the classic handheld Speedy 25 designed to be carried by its rolled leather handles (approx. 10 cm handle drop). Only the Speedy Bandoulière versions include D‑rings and a detachable strap. This piece does not include a strap.
Q: Will an iPad mini fit inside the Speedy 25? A: Yes, most iPad mini models fit inside the Speedy 25. The zip opening is relatively snug, so you may need to angle the tablet when placing it in or taking it out. Full‑size iPads are generally too tall for comfortable use in this size.
Q: What are the benefits of Epi leather on this bag? A: Epi leather is structured, durable and resistant to light moisture and scratches thanks to its textured, dyed‑through finish. It helps the Speedy 25 keep its shape better than many softer leathers, making it well‑suited to everyday use.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat, which can cause colour fading. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain its shape. For deeper cleaning or colour touch‑ups, consult a leather specialist.
Q: What does the date code VI 0992 mean? A: For Louis Vuitton bags from this era, two letters indicate the factory location and four digits indicate month and year. VI signifies France; 0992 decodes to September 1992. Please note that a date code alone does not authenticate a bag—our in‑house experts verify every item through multi‑point checks.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this listing, there are no additional inclusions such as a padlock, keys, clochette or dust bag unless explicitly stated there.
Q: Does this particular Epi Speedy 25 have pockets? A: Yes, this piece features one interior slip pocket and one exterior slip pocket, offering quick access to slim essentials.
Q: Can I add a strap to the classic Speedy 25 later? A: The classic Speedy 25 does not have side D‑rings. Some owners use aftermarket solutions that clip to the handle hardware, but this can scratch hardware or stress the handle tabs. Any modification is at the owner’s discretion; if you choose to use a strap, keep contents light and monitor for wear.
