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 25? A: With approximate dimensions of 25 × 19 × 15 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a compact wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses, a small make-up pouch and a mini tablet/e‑reader (up to roughly A5 size). An A4 document will not fit flat. Most 500–600 ml bottles fit best laid horizontally rather than upright due to the 19 cm height.
Q: Is this the Bandoulière version with a shoulder/crossbody strap? A: No. This is the classic Speedy 25 designed for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry via the dual rolled leather handles. Only the Speedy Bandoulière versions come with strap attachments and a detachable strap.
Q: What are the measurements and handle drop of this bag? A: This piece measures approximately 25 cm in width, 19 cm in height and 15 cm in depth. The handle drop on this specific bag is about 9 cm, making it ideal for handheld wear.
Q: What does the date code SP0957 mean? A: The letters indicate the country of manufacture and the numbers indicate the date. For the 1990–2006 format, the first and third digits show the month and the second and fourth digits show the year. SP0957 decodes to May 1997, made in France.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this specific piece, product information states no additional items are included. If a padlock, keys or dust bag are not listed there, they are not included.
Q: What materials is it made from? A: The exterior is Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. The lining is brown textile with one internal slip pocket. Coated canvas is durable and wipeable; Vachetta is untreated leather that develops a patina over time.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather and canvas? A: Keep Vachetta away from water, oils and alcohol‑based products to avoid watermarks or darkening. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth and store stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and direct sunlight. The canvas can be wiped lightly with a damp, lint‑free cloth if needed—avoid harsh cleaners on both materials.
Q: Can I add a strap to this classic Speedy? A: The classic Speedy 25 does not have D‑rings for a strap. While third‑party handle clips exist, they are not part of the original design and may place stress on the handles; the Bandoulière version is recommended if you want a factory‑designed strap option.
Q: What is the condition of this vintage piece? A: Very Good overall. The Vachetta leather has developed a patina with some watermarks and scuffing, mainly on the handles and trim. The interior shows light signs of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. We recommend reviewing the photos and product information for full details.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
