Q: Is the Speedy 30 a good everyday size?
A: Yes. The Speedy 30 is widely considered one of the most versatile sizes in the Speedy line because it offers a roomy interior without becoming overly bulky. It works well as a daily handbag and can also suit light travel or day trips.

Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap?
A: No. This is the classic handheld Speedy style with dual rolled handles and no shoulder strap listed in the product information. The handle drop is approximately 9 cm.

Q: Does it have a zip closure and inside pocket?
A: Yes. According to the product details, this bag has a top zip closure and a brown canvas lining with one internal pocket, making it practical for organising smaller essentials.

Q: What does the date code SD0061 mean?
A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this era use two letters followed by four digits. SD indicates production in France for bags from this period, and the numbers decode to June 2001. As with all Louis Vuitton pieces, the date code helps indicate when and where the bag was made, but it is not the only factor used for authentication.

Q: Where is the date code usually found on a Speedy?
A: On vintage Speedy bags, the date code is commonly found inside the bag, often underneath or near the internal pocket on a leather tab or along the interior seam. It can sometimes be faint from age and wear.

Q: Will the vachetta leather change colour over time?
A: Yes. The natural vachetta leather trim on Monogram canvas bags develops a patina with use and exposure to light, air, and handling. This gradual darkening is normal and is part of the character of Louis Vuitton’s classic canvas styles.

Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas and vachetta leather?
A: Avoid rain, oils, hand cream, perfume, and prolonged direct sunlight, especially on the vachetta leather. Do not overstuff the bag, and store it in a breathable dust bag when not in use. For light surface care, gently wipe the coated canvas with a soft cloth and handle the untreated leather carefully, as it is sensitive to water and staining.

Q: What condition details should I know before buying?
A: This item is listed in very good condition. The exterior shows initials, the interior has light traces of use and a light vintage smell, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches and some tarnishing. These signs are consistent with a well-kept vintage piece and are worth reviewing in the photos before purchase.

Q: What is included with this bag?
A: This item includes a dust bag. For the most accurate overview of what is included with this specific piece, please refer to the product information.
