Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Murakami Speedy 30?
A: With approximate measurements of 30 × 22 × 17 cm and a 13 cm handle drop, it comfortably carries a large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, cosmetics pouch, an A5 diary/notebook and a tablet (around 11-inch class) placed horizontally. A4 documents generally won’t lie completely flat due to the 22 cm height and curved zip opening. Please refer to the Measurements on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.

Q: Does this model have a shoulder strap? Can I wear it crossbody?
A: The original Multicolore Murakami Speedy 30 is a handheld/top‑handle bag and does not come with a long shoulder strap. If you prefer hands‑free carry, consider the Speedy Bandoulière variant (a different model that was designed with a strap). Some owners add aftermarket straps to the handle hardware, but this can stress the bag over time.

Q: Is the Murakami Multicolore Speedy still produced?
A: No. The Monogram Multicolore collaboration launched in the early 2000s and was discontinued around July 2015. Pre‑loved is the only way to find this style today.

Q: What are the key features and interior layout of this piece?
A: This Multicolore Speedy 30 features white Monogram Multicolore coated canvas with natural vachetta leather trim, gold‑tone hardware, dual rolled leather handles, a red Alcantara (microfibre) lining with one internal slip pocket, an external front pocket with an S‑lock closure, and a top zip main compartment. Our listing photos show the exact configuration of this bag.

Q: Will the colourful Multicolore print rub or chip with use?
A: The Multicolore motifs are silk‑screened onto coated canvas; over years of wear, high‑friction areas (especially corners/edges) can show colour rubbing or minor chipping. This is considered normal wear on screen‑printed LV canvases. Minimise abrasion, avoid harsh cleaners and store the bag upright to help preserve the print.

Q: How should I care for the vachetta leather and coated canvas?
A: Vachetta (natural, untreated cowhide) develops a honey patina and is sensitive to water and oils—blot light moisture, avoid rain, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. For canvas, wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth; avoid alcohol, acetone, bleach and abrasive tools. Store lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, keeping hardware from rubbing against leather during storage.

Q: Where are the brand markings and production codes, and how is dating handled?
A: Authentic LV bags have an interior heat‑stamp (e.g., “LOUIS VUITTON Paris” plus country of origin). This piece is labelled Made in France. Murakami‑era items typically feature a date code, often on a small leather tab or, on Alcantara‑lined models, stamped directly on the lining near a seam/pocket. From 2021, LV transitioned to embedded microchips instead of visible date codes for new items; vintage pieces like this generally still have traditional codes.

Q: How secure is the closure for commuting or travel?
A: Everyday security is good: the main compartment closes with a top zip, and the external front pocket secures with an S‑lock. We recommend placing valuables in the interior pocket and keeping the bag upright while commuting.

Q: Can I use a base shaper or organiser to reduce the classic “Speedy sag”?
A: Many owners use lightweight base shapers or organisers to add structure and protect the lining. Choose light‑coloured, colourfast materials and avoid heavy or sharp inserts that could imprint the lining or stress the canvas. If used, ensure a snug fit and don’t overstuff.

Q: What accessories are included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed under “Accessories.” For this specific piece, we note: clochette and keys. If an accessory (e.g., dust bag or box) isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm.
