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: The Speedy 25 is a compact city bag that holds daily essentials with ease. It accommodates a large smartphone, a continental wallet, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, and sunglasses. Due to its structured shape, a small bottle (330ml) or a compact umbrella can also fit. While it is spacious for its size, the zip opening is slightly narrower than the bag’s interior, so bulky items like large tablets or laptops generally do not fit. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for precise dimensions.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? Can I wear it crossbody? A: This classic Speedy 25 Epi is designed as a handheld or crook-of-the-arm bag and does not include a shoulder strap. Unlike the 'Bandoulière' models, it does not typically feature D-rings for strap attachment. This specific piece is sold with the accessories listed (padlock, keys, clochette) and is intended for hand carry.
Q: How does Epi leather compare to Monogram Canvas? Does it sag? A: Epi leather is significantly more structured and rigid than Monogram Canvas. As a result, the Epi Speedy retains its iconic shape very well and does not sag at the bottom when filled, offering a smarter, more defined silhouette. It is also highly durable and water-resistant, making it an excellent choice for daily use in various weather conditions.
Q: What pockets does this model have? A: Unique to the Epi leather versions of the Speedy, this bag features a convenient exterior slip pocket on one side, perfect for keeping a phone or travel card accessible. The interior is lined in a tonal textile and typically includes one slip pocket for organization.
Q: How should I care for the Brown Epi leather? A: Epi leather is known for its durability. To maintain it, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid contact with oil, grease, and abrasive surfaces which could affect the textured finish. We recommend storing the bag upright in a breathable dust bag when not in use, with the handles supported to prevent misshaping.
Q: Where can I find the date code on this bag? A: On the Speedy 25 Epi, the date code is typically found embossed on a leather tab inside the interior pocket. The date code for this specific item is listed as SP0039, indicating it was manufactured in France in early 2009. We can provide close-up photos of the code upon request.
Q: Is the hardware silver or gold? A: This specific piece features silver-tone hardware, which gives the brown Epi leather a modern, cool-toned aesthetic. This combination is less common than the vintage gold-tone brass found on earlier editions, making it a distinctive find.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item includes the padlock, keys, and clochette (the leather key holder). Any other original accessories such as a dust bag or box are only included if specified under the “Accessories” section of this listing. If you are unsure, please feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts. We perform multi-point checks covering the Epi leather grain, stitching, hardware finish, heat stamps, and the date code (SP0039). We fully stand behind the authenticity of all our vintage luxury pieces.
