Very Good Condition
This vintage Louis Vuitton Speedy 35 in Monogram canvas with light brown leather trim and brass hardware is in very good condition. Featuring dual rolled handles, a brown canvas lining and zip closure, it is an elegant choice for everyday use, weekend outings or light travel.
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 35? A: With approximate dimensions of 35 x 23 x 18 cm, the Speedy 35 is a roomy everyday bag. It will generally hold essentials such as a full-size wallet, phone, sunglasses, keys, a cosmetics pouch, a small umbrella and a book, with space left for a few extras. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact size of this item.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This is the classic handheld Speedy 35 rather than a Bandoulière version. It has dual rolled handles with an approximate handle drop of 8 cm and no strap is included, so it is best carried by hand or in the crook of the arm.
Q: Is the Speedy 35 a good everyday size? A: Yes, if you prefer a roomier handbag. The 35 is one of the more spacious Speedy sizes and suits buyers who carry more than just the basics or want a bag that can also work for light travel. If you prefer a more compact everyday shape, smaller Speedy sizes usually feel neater.
Q: What does the date code SP0968 mean? A: The date code indicates that this bag was made in France in June 1998. On vintage Louis Vuitton pieces, the letters show the production location and the numbers indicate the production month and year. Date codes are helpful for dating a piece, but they should always be considered alongside other authenticity details.
Q: Is the darkening on the leather normal? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton Vachetta leather is a natural untreated leather that develops a honey-toned patina over time. On vintage pieces, darkening, surface marks and handle wear are common signs of age and use. This bag is noted as having a visible patina and scuffing on the handles.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Avoid overfilling the bag, keep it away from prolonged heat and direct sunlight, and store it in a breathable protective cover in a ventilated space when not in use. If the leather gets wet, blot it promptly with a soft light-coloured cloth. Avoid oils, solvents and household leather treatments, as these can damage the natural leather and affect the finish.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: It is listed in Very Good condition. The exterior shows a visible patina to the Vachetta leather, scuffing on the handles, minor wear to the canvas and marks on the bottom base. The interior has light traces of use, while the hardware remains shiny with light scratches and some tarnishing.
Q: What interior features does this bag have, and what is included? A: This bag features a brown canvas lining, one internal pocket and a zip closure. No additional items are listed as included with this piece, so please refer to the product information for the full included contents.
