Everyday city carrying is the stated purpose of the Speedy Bandouliere 25, a Damier Ebene canvas bag created originally for travellers in the 1930s, when its name referred to the rapid transit of the era. Unmistakable shape, rolled leather handles, engraved padlock, and detachable strap are the features the source calls defining, and each is present in the construction described. Double zip closes the top, padlock secures the closure, and an inside flat pocket provides a separate, flat space inside. Detailed measurements are 25 x 19 x 15 cm (Length x height x width), with a Strap Drop of 46.5 cm and a Strap Drop Max. of 55.0 cm, and the handle is double. Damier Ebene coated canvas, smooth cowhide-leather trim, textile lining, and gold-color hardware form the materials, a classic combination for a city bag.
Damier Ebene pattern, in brown and tan checks, covers the coated canvas in a regular, geometric design, with the squares repeating across the panels in a balanced, orderly arrangement. Coated canvas gives the exterior a smooth, firm surface that holds the rounded Speedy shape, presenting the checks crisply and protecting the pattern during daily handling. Smooth cowhide-leather trim edges the canvas, adding a supple leather frame at the top, base, and handle attachments, and the trim’s smooth texture provides a contrast to the flat canvas. Rolled leather handles, doubled, offer a rounded, comfortable grip, with the two handles held together in one hand for a centred, balanced carry. Gold-color hardware at the padlock, zip pulls, and strap fittings adds a warm, polished accent that suits the brown and tan checks and the cowhide trim.
Interior, lined in textile, provides a smooth fabric surface for the main space, with the inside flat pocket set flat against the lining for a small item that needs to stay separate. Main space, at 25 cm long, 19 cm high, and 15 cm deep, holds a book, a bottle, a wallet, and daily essentials, with the rounded shape allowing contents to settle naturally and the flat base keeping the bag stable when set down. Double zip, with two pulls meeting at the centre, allows the top to be opened from either end, a practical detail for a bag accessed throughout the day. Engraved padlock, attached to the zips, locks the closure and serves as a signature ornament, visible at the front of the bag and marking the Speedy heritage.
Strap, removable and adjustable, allows the bag to be carried over the shoulder or across the body, with the drop adjustable from 46.5 cm to a maximum of 55.0 cm, setting the bag at the hip or lower across the torso. Hand carrying, by the double rolled handles, gives the classic presentation, with the checked canvas and padlock fully visible. Made in France, Spain, Italy, or the US, as stated for the reference, the Speedy Bandouliere 25 offers a compact, historic shape in a practical, modern form, with Damier Ebene canvas, cowhide trim, and gold hardware giving it a warm, enduring palette for city life and travel.
