Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandoulière 25

Fresh Damier Azur canvas, in pale blue and white checks, makes the Speedy Bandouliere 25 a summer city handbag. Damier Azur coated canvas forms the body, with smooth cowhide leather trim, textile lining and gold-colour hardware. The name refers to the era’s rapid transit, a 1930s origin for a design created for travellers, and every feature of the Speedy design, from its shape to its rolled leather handles, engraved padlock and detachable strap, is part of that history. It measures 25 x 19 x 15 cm / 9.8 x 7.5 x 5.9 inches (Length x height x width), a compact 25 size with a 15 cm depth that holds a day’s essentials in a rounded, structured body.

A double zip runs along the top, two zips that close the main compartment securely and open it wide for packing. A double buckle adds flexibility to the closure and strap arrangement, allowing the fit and fastening to be adjusted. An engraved padlock fastens at the front, a signature detail in gold-colour hardware that gives both a secure finish and a recognisable mark. Inside, an inside flat pocket sits against the textile lining, a slim space for flat items kept separate from the main compartment, and the textile lining gives a smooth surface that lets contents slide in and out. The main compartment is a single open space, easy to pack through the wide double-zip opening.

Two single top handles, handle single x2, in rolled leather, give hand carry, the rolled form feeling firm and rounded in the hand. A removable, adjustable strap adds shoulder and cross-body wear, with a strap drop of 46.5 cm/18.3 inches and a strap drop max of 55.0 cm/21.7 inches, a long range that allows the bag to hang at the hip for cross-body wear or higher over the shoulder. Removing the strap leaves the classic hand-carried Speedy form, with only the rolled handles, double zip and padlock visible. Smooth cowhide leather trim edges the body and handles, reinforcing the points of greatest strain.

Gold-colour hardware at the double buckle, double zip, padlock, strap and handle fittings ties the closure and carry elements together. The reference is either made in France, Spain, Italy or in the US. Ideal for summer in the city, in fresh Damier Azur canvas with a double zip, double buckle, engraved padlock and a removable adjustable strap, the Speedy Bandouliere 25 keeps the 1930s traveller’s design in a compact, rounded form that can be carried by hand, over the shoulder or across the body.
