Louis Vuitton’s Speedy has transformed remarkably since its debut as the capacious Express travel bag in the 1930s. Shedding its oversized proportions, it now embraces a range of scaled-down iterations tailored to modern tastes. Amongst the refined interpretations, the Speedy 20 takes the spotlight.
This petite rendition captures the essence of the OG, while translating it into a masterpiece of compact functionality. Measuring a mere 20.5 cm wide and 13.5 cm high, it is the ideal confidante for your daily adventures, big or small. A secure top zipper closure complemented by gleaming gold-tone hardware whispers of vintage allure.
The iconic padlock transcends its utilitarian purpose, a sculptural detail that also exudes sophisticated charm. Rolled leather handles, another subtle homage to the original design language, complete the look with an elegance that never goes out of style.
The iconic monogram, pairing with natural cowhide trims that lend a touch of classic sophistication, provides a timeless foundation. Embodying the essence of the Speedy Bandoulière, each comes with a detachable shoulder strap, thus offering multiple ways to carry it. You can personalise the monogram canvas one (SGD3150) further by choosing either by choosing either a black or beige woven textile strap.
Other Speedy 20 bags of note includes the Malletage Speedy in lambskin leather (SGD5000) that is a luxurious indulgence. Deep red motifs inspired by Louis Vuitton’s storied trunks adorn the supple leather for hints of contrast.
Or make a statement with the eye-catching H27 Monogram (SGD4100). This playful iteration features a mesmerising interplay of serigraphy monogram on a baby blue calfskin background. Alternatively, embrace the bold with the dual-tone Monogram Empreinte (SGD3900) calfskin.
