Finished with dual rolled handles, a flat shoulder strap and zip closure, it is an elegant choice for lunches, city outings or evenings when carrying just the essentials.
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 this Louis Vuitton Monogram Nano Speedy Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 15 x 12 x 7 cm, this is a compact mini bag designed for essentials only. It is best suited to small daily items such as keys, a cardholder, lipstick, earphones and other similarly sized necessities. Bulky purses or larger everyday carry items are unlikely to fit comfortably.
Q: Will a phone fit inside? A: Possibly, but it depends on the size of your phone and whether it has a bulky case. Smaller or slim phones are the safest match for this size, while larger smartphones may be a tight fit or need to be placed carefully. If this matters to you, we recommend comparing your phone measurements to the bag dimensions listed on this page.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: Yes. This piece features dual rolled handles as well as a single flat shoulder strap. The handle drop is approximately 7 cm and the strap drop is listed at approximately 53 cm, which gives it a hands-free carry option in addition to handheld styling. Exact fit will vary depending on your height and preferred way of wearing it.
Q: Is this a current Nano Speedy or a vintage Louis Vuitton piece? A: This is a vintage Louis Vuitton bag. The date code TH0936 indicates that it was made in France in March 1996, making it an earlier piece rather than a current boutique production.
Q: Is it normal if the Monogram looks upside down on one side? A: Yes, that can be completely normal. Louis Vuitton often uses one continuous piece of Monogram canvas that wraps around the bag, so one side may appear upside down. On vintage Speedy-family bags, this is a recognised construction detail rather than automatically a fault.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: This item is listed in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows light traces of use, the interior also has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny overall with light scratches and light oxidation. This is consistent with a well-kept pre-owned Louis Vuitton piece of this age.
Q: Is this a practical everyday bag? A: It is best for those who travel light. Nano and mini Speedy styles are popular for short outings, lunches, evenings out and travel days when you only want the essentials with you, rather than a full daily load.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and vachetta leather? A: The coated canvas can be wiped gently with a soft damp cloth when needed. Avoid overfilling the bag, and store it in a breathable dust bag away from heat and direct sunlight. The natural vachetta leather trim should be kept away from water, oils, perfume and alcohol-based products, and harsh cleaners or home remedies should not be used. Over time, the leather will naturally deepen in colour and develop patina.
Q: Does this bag come with any extra items? A: No additional items are included with this piece. If an extra item is not listed in the product information, it should not be expected to come with the bag.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Louis Vuitton bag like this? A: Date codes are helpful for confirming the production period and country, but they are only one part of the process. A proper authentication also considers materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, construction details and overall consistency. At A Retro Tale, every item is reviewed by specialists before it is offered for sale.
