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 25? A: With approximate measurements of 26 x 17.5 x 15 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, tissues and a small cosmetics pouch. It is compact rather than roomy, so it is not ideal for a laptop, larger tablet or bulky bottle.
Q: Is this a shoulder bag or a handheld bag? A: This listing is the classic handheld Speedy 25 with dual rolled handles and an approximate handle drop of 8.5 cm. It does not come with a shoulder strap, so it is designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm.
Q: Does this item come with any extras? A: Yes. According to the product information, this piece includes a padlock. If an item such as keys, a dust bag or a strap is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What does the code MI 0971 mean? A: On vintage Louis Vuitton pieces, this is a date code rather than a unique serial number. MI indicates production in France, and 0971 is commonly read as a 1991 production code under Louis Vuitton’s vintage date-code system.
Q: Where is the date code usually found on a Speedy 25? A: On Speedy bags, the date code is typically stamped inside the bag on a leather tab beneath or behind the internal hanging pocket. On older bags it can become faint with age and wear.
Q: What condition should I expect from this vintage bag? A: This bag is listed in good vintage condition. The exterior shows visible patina, scuffs and wear on the Vachetta leather trims and handles, with worn corners. Inside there are stains, and the hardware shows scratches and tarnishing. Please review the product images carefully for the most accurate impression.
Q: Is the darkening on the leather normal? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton’s natural cowhide trim is untreated and develops a deeper amber patina over time. On a vintage Monogram Speedy, colour variation, darkening and surface marks on the leather are expected and form part of the bag’s aged character.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and leather? A: Avoid rain, prolonged sunlight, direct heat, perfume and greasy substances. If the surface gets wet, blot it gently with a soft, light-coloured lint-free cloth and let it dry naturally. Do not use soap or solvents. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag when not in use.
