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 Monogram Speedy 25? A: With measurements of approximately 25 x 18 x 15 cm, the Speedy 25 is designed for daily essentials. It typically fits a phone, a full-size wallet, keys, sunglasses, tissues and a small cosmetics pouch, and it is often considered roomier than it first appears.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: No. This is the classic handheld Speedy 25 with dual rolled handles and no strap included. With a handle drop of approximately 10 cm, it is intended to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm.
Q: Is the Speedy 25 a good everyday size? A: Yes. The 25 is one of the most practical Speedy sizes for everyday use, especially if you want a compact city bag that still carries the essentials without feeling bulky.
Q: Is the darkening on the leather normal? A: Yes. The Vachetta leather on Louis Vuitton Monogram bags is a natural untreated leather that develops patina over time. Darkening, colour variation and a honey-toned look are normal on vintage pieces, although this bag also shows visible scuffing and small cracks on the trim.
Q: What does the code TH0968 mean? A: TH is a Louis Vuitton factory code for France, and because this bag falls within the 1990 to 2006 date code format, 0968 indicates production in June 1998. On Louis Vuitton bags from this era, this is a date code rather than a unique serial number.
Q: Where is the date code usually found on a Speedy 25? A: On vintage Speedy bags, the code is commonly stamped beneath the internal pocket or on a leather tab inside the lining. On older bags it can become faint with age and wear.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Avoid water, humidity, direct heat and long exposure to sunlight. Keep the bag away from perfume, oils and alcohol-based products, and if it gets wet, gently blot it with a soft, light-coloured cloth. Never use soap or solvent, and store it loosely filled to help maintain its shape.
Q: What should I know about the condition of this particular bag? A: This item is listed in good condition. The Vachetta leather has visible patina, scuffing and small cracks on the trim, the inner pocket has peeling, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches. These are typical signs of age on a vintage Louis Vuitton piece and should be reviewed as part of the overall condition.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing is noted as having no additional items included. Please refer to the product information on this page for the full included contents of this specific piece.
