The Louis Vuitton Speedy, originally named the 'Express,' debuted in 1930 and has since become a timeless icon. It is the ultimate traveller’s companion, and with its beautiful leather handles and durable coated canvas body - it is truly made to stand the test of time!
You may be familiar with Louis Vuitton’s letter-based sizing, like the GM and the BB (see our Beginners Guide to Louis Vuitton Sizing: Letters Edition), but the sizing for the Speedy is a little different. Read on to discover everything you need to know to find the perfect Speedy for you!
Speedy 30: Let’s start with the most popular size! The number in a Louis Vuitton Speedy’s name indicates the length of the bag in centimeters. So, a Speedy 30 measures 30 cm long. This size is lightweight and versatile, making it ideal for everyday use.
Speedy 25: Measuring 25 cm long, this size was famously requested by Audrey Hepburn in 1965, who wanted a more compact version of the Speedy 30 for daily use. While smaller, the Speedy 25 remains practical and versatile for everyday wear.
Speedy 20: For those who prefer an even more compact bag, the Speedy 20 measures 20 cm long. This petite size is perfect for carrying the essentials while still looking effortlessly chic. Its lightweight and compact design make it a great choice for an everyday accessory or a fashionable mini bag.
Speedy 35 / Speedy 40: These sizes are perfect for travel. Measuring 35 cm / 40 cm long respectively, they offer extra room without being too bulky, making them ideal for carry-on luggage or an overnight stay.
Speedy Nano: A mini Speedy! Measuring 16 x 12.5 x 10 cm, this ultra-compact version of the Speedy comes with a non-removable shoulder strap, perfect for crossbody wear. It's ideal for carrying the essentials like a small phone, wallet, lip gloss, and keys, making it a stylish, hands-free option for everyday use.
Speedy Mini HL: Now discontinued, the Speedy Mini HL had almost identical measurements to the Speedy Nano but was initially released without a long strap. Launched as a miniature version of the classic Speedy, it quickly became a favorite for those seeking a cute, functional mini bag. This is a true collector's piece if you can get your hands on a preloved one! (Get on our request list for one here!)
