With its roomy silhouette and rolled handles, it carries your essentials from desk to dinner, pairing just as well with jeans and trainers as with a tailored coat.
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 35? A: The Speedy 35 comfortably carries a long wallet, phone, small makeup pouch, sunglasses case, 500 ml water bottle, A5 notebook/diary and a light cardigan. Many owners also fit a 13-inch laptop by angling it through the zip; please pack with care and check the Measurements on this page for exact sizing. To preserve structure and handles, avoid excessive weight.
Q: Does this model come with a shoulder strap? A: This is the classic handheld Speedy 35, designed to be carried by its rolled leather handles. A detachable strap is included only on the “Bandoulière” versions.
Q: Is the Speedy 35 suitable as an under‑seat personal item when flying? A: As a handbag, the Speedy 35 generally fits under most airline seats and is often carried as a personal item. Airline rules vary by carrier and route, so please check with your airline. Travellers commonly report using the Speedy 35 on flights without issue.
Q: Is the Monogram canvas water resistant? What about the leather? A: Louis Vuitton’s coated canvas is durable and water resistant, so light rain on the canvas is usually fine. However, the natural Vachetta leather handles and trim are untreated and can darken, spot, or stain with moisture and oils. Keep Vachetta away from rain, hand sanitiser, perfumes, and lotions.
Q: How should I care for and store this vintage Speedy? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. For Vachetta, use a clean, dry cloth only—avoid soaps, alcohol, and harsh cleaners. Store the bag loosely stuffed to support its shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat. A lightweight organiser can help keep the interior tidy and reduce sag.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton replace Vachetta parts or perform repairs? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton assesses repairs case by case. You can request a repair via the LV App or visit a store for an estimate; timing is typically several weeks and costs vary by work required.
Q: What does the date code V.I. 872 mean? A: The letters indicate factory location and the numbers indicate date. “VI” denotes manufacture in France. In late‑1980s formats, “872” decodes to February 1987. This aligns with the “Made in France” stamp on the bag. Note that date codes are informative but not proof of authenticity.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Please refer to the product information section on this page. If an item such as a padlock, key set, or dust bag is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Will the Speedy 35 sag when full, and can I prevent it? A: The classic Speedy has a soft base and may develop a gentle sag when loaded—many collectors like this relaxed look. If you prefer more structure, a well‑fitting, lightweight organiser or base support insert can help without altering the bag.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every piece is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date code logic. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further product information on request.
