Ideal for a chic day in the city or a weekend getaway, the vintage Louis Vuitton Damier Speedy 30 lends timeless elegance to every look. With its roomy profile and dual rolled handles, it carries daily essentials with ease, from denim by day to a tailored coat by night.
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 are the measurements and what typically fits inside the Speedy 30? A: This piece measures approximately 30 × 22 × 18 cm with an 11 cm handle drop (see the Measurements on this page). It comfortably carries a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, a small cosmetics pouch, a 500 ml water bottle and a small tablet around 9–10 inches. Capacity varies with how you pack.
Q: Does this Speedy 30 come with a shoulder strap or crossbody option? A: No. The classic Speedy 30 is a handheld/top‑handle bag. If you prefer shoulder or crossbody wear, look for the Speedy Bandoulière 30, which is the version designed with strap attachments.
Q: Will a 13‑inch laptop or A4 documents fit? A: A small tablet fits well, but most 13‑inch laptops and A4 folders do not fit flat and are not recommended for regular carry in this size. Some users can angle a slim laptop in, but it is tight and may strain the opening.
Q: What does the date code AA5027 mean? A: In Louis Vuitton’s 2007–2021 format, the letters indicate country and the numbers indicate week and year. AA denotes France; 5027 decodes to the 52nd week of 2007. This aligns with the Country of Origin noted for this item.
Q: What is the material and how durable is Damier Ebene? A: Damier Ebene is a coated canvas with leather trim. It is known for being hard‑wearing and relatively resistant to light rain compared to untreated vachetta leathers, but it is not fully waterproof. Wipe dry after exposure and avoid prolonged moisture.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Clean the canvas with a soft cloth slightly dampened with lukewarm, mildly soapy water, then wipe dry. Avoid harsh chemicals, oils, alcohol‑based products and cleaners intended for soft leather. Store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat, to help maintain shape.
Q: Is the interior pocket zipped? A: On this specific vintage piece, the lining is red textile with one internal slip pocket as stated in the product information. Pocket styles can vary by production period; some newer Speedy 30 models feature a zipped pocket.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this listing, no additional items are noted. If you need clarification, please contact us.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, and date code analysis. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
