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 40? A: With measurements of approximately 40 × 25 × 20 cm, this is a roomy Speedy size that can typically hold a full-size wallet, phone, pouch, cosmetics, a book or tablet, a light scarf, and other daily or overnight essentials. Based on the dimensions, many slim laptops may fit, but the curved zip opening can make bulkier items less practical than the measurements alone suggest, so we recommend comparing with your own items before purchase.
Q: Is the Speedy 40 better for everyday use or travel? A: The Speedy 40 is generally considered one of the more travel-friendly classic Speedy sizes. It works well for overnight stays, day trips, or anyone who prefers a larger carryall. For everyday use, it depends on how much you like to carry, as this size is noticeably roomier than the smaller Speedy models.
Q: Is this bag suitable for cabin baggage use? A: In many cases, yes. At around 40 cm in length, it is often suitable as a soft travel bag for cabin use, but airline rules vary and the final fit depends on how fully the bag is packed. We always recommend checking your airline’s current cabin baggage allowance before travelling.
Q: Does this Speedy 40 come with a shoulder strap? A: No. This is the classic handheld Speedy style, designed to be carried by its dual rolled handles. The handle drop is approximately 8 cm, and this item does not have a shoulder strap listed in the product information.
Q: What is the interior layout of this bag? A: This bag has a brown canvas lining with one internal pocket and a zip closure. Like many classic Speedy styles, it offers a spacious main compartment rather than lots of internal organisation, which is why some owners like to add a pouch or organiser for smaller items.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece includes a padlock and keys. Everything included with the item is stated in the product information, so if something is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What condition details should I know before buying? A: This bag is described as being in good vintage condition. The Vachetta leather shows visible patina, with watermarks and scuffing on the handles and trim. The interior has light traces of use, and the hardware shows scratches and tarnishing. These signs of age are typical for a vintage Monogram Speedy and are worth reviewing carefully in the photos.
Q: What does the date code SP0915 mean? A: The date code format indicates that this bag was made in France in January 1995. As with Louis Vuitton date codes generally, it helps indicate the place and period of production, but it should be considered alongside the rest of the bag’s details rather than as the only authenticity marker.
Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Avoid rain, damp conditions, direct heat, oils, perfume, and abrasive surfaces. If the surface gets wet or dusty, gently dab or wipe it with a soft, lint-free, light-coloured cloth. Do not use soap or solvents. When not in use, store the bag lightly stuffed in a soft breathable pouch to help it keep its shape. Over time, the natural leather trim will continue to develop patina, which is part of the character of vintage Louis Vuitton pieces.
