Perfect for city days and chic weekends, this vintage Louis Vuitton Epi Speedy 25 in red adds a confident pop of colour to any outfit. In very good condition, it transitions smoothly from office hours to dinner, keeping daily essentials neatly at hand with its secure zip and easy top-handle carry.
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 Speedy 25? A: It comfortably holds daily essentials such as a long wallet, smartphone, keys, small cosmetics pouch, compact umbrella and a small water bottle, with space left for earphones or sunglasses. Capacity varies by how you pack; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: This is the classic handheld Speedy 25 with dual rolled handles (approx. 10 cm handle drop). It does not include a shoulder strap; the Bandoulière version is the Speedy that comes with a detachable strap for shoulder or cross‑body wear.
Q: Does this Epi edition have an exterior pocket? A: Yes, many Epi Speedy 25 models feature a convenient exterior slip pocket. This particular piece includes one external pocket and an internal pocket, as shown in the product information.
Q: How durable is Epi leather and how should I care for it? A: Epi leather is known for its textured, structured finish and excellent durability, offering greater resistance to light rain and surface scratches than many smooth leathers. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, avoid harsh cleaners or oils, keep away from prolonged sunlight/heat, and store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape.
Q: What does the date code SP0016 indicate? A: The letters SP denote a French workshop, and the four digits indicate the production date in the pre‑2007 format. SP0016 decodes to January 2006 in France.
Q: Will a standard long wallet and a small water bottle fit? A: Yes. A continental wallet fits easily, and a small bottle (around 500 ml) fits upright or on its side depending on shape. The zipped opening allows practical access while maintaining structure.
Q: Is the Speedy 25 suitable for everyday use and city commuting? A: Absolutely. Its compact size with structured Epi leather makes it a dependable daily bag for essentials, while remaining lightweight and easy to carry by hand or in the crook of the arm.
Q: What items are included with this piece? A: Everything included is listed under product information. This item is noted as having no additional items such as a padlock, keys or dust bag unless specifically stated there.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a multi‑point inspection by in‑house experts, reviewing materials, stitching, stamps, hardware and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share further details or photos on request.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin is France, consistent with the SP date code and the country of origin label on this piece.
