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 Louis Vuitton Epi Speedy 25? A: As a compact top-handle bag (approx. 25 × 19 × 15 cm), it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses, and a small cosmetics pouch. Many users also fit a 500 ml water bottle laid horizontally. Capacity will vary depending on how you pack and whether you use an organiser—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: No. This is the classic Speedy 25 designed for hand or crook-of-arm carry with dual rolled handles (approx. 10 cm drop). Only the Speedy Bandoulière versions include a detachable strap and side D-rings for shoulder or crossbody wear.
Q: What are the benefits of Epi leather? A: Epi leather is a textured, dyed-through calf leather known for its structure, durability, and good resistance to light scratches and incidental moisture. It keeps a crisp shape and is well suited to everyday use.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth, then dry immediately. Keep the bag away from direct sunlight, heat, humidity, oils, and chemicals. Store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape, and avoid overfilling to prevent stress on the zip and seams.
Q: What does the date code SP0975 mean? A: For 1990–2006 Louis Vuitton codes, the letters show country and the four digits show month and year (1st and 3rd digits = month; 2nd and 4th = year). SP indicates a French factory, and 0975 decodes to July 1995. Note that date codes are not unique serial numbers and are only one indicator of age, not a guarantee of authenticity.
Q: Where can I find the date code on a Speedy? A: It is typically stamped on a small leather tab inside the interior pocket or along an interior seam. On microfibre (suede-like) linings the stamp can be faint with age; this is normal on vintage pieces.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: The product information notes a padlock. Items such as keys, dust bag, or organiser are included only if specifically stated in the product information on this page.
Q: Is there any odour and can it be reduced? A: The interior has a slight vintage smell noted in the condition report. Air the bag in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space and use odour-absorbing sachets. Avoid spraying perfumes, disinfectants, or harsh deodorisers directly onto the leather or lining.
Q: Does this Epi Speedy 25 have an exterior pocket? A: Yes, this piece features one external slip pocket in addition to the interior pocket—ideal for slim items you need quick access to.
Q: How is the hardware and can I polish it? A: The hardware shows tarnish and surface scratches consistent with age. Gently buff with a clean, dry, soft cloth only; do not use metal polishes or abrasives, which can strip the finish.
