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 in the Speedy 25? A: As a compact handbag (approx. 25 × 19 × 15 cm), it comfortably holds a smartphone, a long wallet, keys, sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch and compact items like hand sanitiser. It does not fit A4 documents or a laptop, and standard tablets only if small (e.g., mini size). 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 handheld Speedy 25 in Epi leather with dual rolled handles. Bandoulière versions include a detachable strap and side rings, but this listing is the handheld style only.
Q: Is there an exterior pocket on this model? A: Yes. Epi Speedy 25 bags typically include a slim exterior slip pocket on one side for quick-access items like tickets or cards. Use it for flat items to maintain the bag’s shape.
Q: How durable is Epi leather and is it rain-safe? A: Epi is a robust, textured, dyed-through leather known for its structure and scratch resistance. It is more water‑resistant than many smooth leathers, so light rain is generally fine; however, it is not waterproof—wipe dry promptly after exposure.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let it air-dry. Avoid harsh cleaners, oils and prolonged direct sunlight or heat, which may affect the colour. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, handles down, to help preserve structure. For repairs or deep care, Louis Vuitton’s aftercare service can assist.
Q: What does the date code VI0923 indicate? A: VI denotes a French workshop. For this 1990–2006 format, the first and third digits indicate the month and the second and fourth the year; 0 and 2 = February, 9 and 3 = 1993. So this bag was made in France in February 1993.
Q: How does the Speedy 25 compare to the 30? A: The 25 is a compact, day-to-day size (approx. 25 × 19 × 15 cm). The 30 offers more capacity at about 30 × 21 × 17 cm and suits those who carry extra layers or larger pouches. Many choose the 25 for a neater, city-friendly profile.
Q: Will a bag organiser help keep its shape? A: Yes. A lightweight organiser insert can add structure and make items easier to find. Choose a size tailored to the Speedy 25 to avoid bulging and to protect the lining.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the bag is listed under product information. For this listing, no additional items are included. If you need clarification, please contact us before purchase.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton repair or replace parts like the zip pull or handles? A: Louis Vuitton offers aftercare and repair services for many components subject to assessment. You can enquire directly with an LV store or their client services for quotes and turnaround times.
