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 40? A: At approximately 40 x 25 x 19 cm, the Speedy 40 is a roomy classic size. It can usually hold everyday essentials plus bulkier items such as a long wallet, pouch, water bottle, book, light jumper and toiletries. Please refer to the measurements on this page for the best guide to this exact vintage piece.
Q: Is the Speedy 40 better for everyday use or travel? A: The 40 is generally considered one of the more travel-friendly Speedy sizes. It works well as a spacious day bag or an overnight option, though some buyers find it large for everyday carry. If you prefer roomy bags, it can still work very well day to day.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: No. This is the classic handheld Speedy 40 with dual rolled handles and no shoulder strap included. The handle drop is approximately 10 cm.
Q: Can it fit a laptop or tablet? A: A tablet should be fine, and a slim laptop may fit, but the zip opening is narrower than the body of the bag so larger devices often need to be inserted at an angle. We recommend comparing your device measurements with the bag measurements before purchase.
Q: What condition should I expect from this vintage piece? A: This bag is listed in good vintage condition. The vachetta leather shows visible patina, darkening and wear on the handles and trim, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware has scratches, tarnishing and oxidation.
Q: What does vintage smell mean for this item? A: The interior is noted as having a vintage smell, which can happen when older bags have been stored for long periods. This does not necessarily affect function, but it is worth noting if you are sensitive to odours.
Q: What does the date code MB 8910 tell me? A: Louis Vuitton used date codes rather than unique serial numbers on vintage bags. The code MB points to French production, and this format is consistent with a late-1980s vintage piece, commonly read as around 1989. Date codes help indicate age and origin, but they should not be used on their own to determine authenticity.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: No extra items are included with this piece. If an item such as a padlock, keys, dust bag or box is not listed in the product information, it is not included with this sale.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is inspected by in-house experts using a multi-point review of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of the items we sell and are happy to help with further product information if needed.
