The Iconic Louis Vuitton Speedy

by Megs Mahoney Dusil

I’ve been asked many times to name the most iconic bags of all time. The Louis Vuitton Speedy is always part of my list. Not only is Louis Vuitton one of the most well-known design houses, but also the Speedy is one of the most iconic handbags. Precisely for this reason the Louis Vuitton Speedy will forever be classified as an iconic handbag.

We have covered Speedy sizes before, but left out a few sizes. The picture above shows an array of various Speedy bags along with different sizes. If you do not own a LV Speedy yet, read over our 5 Reasons Why Everyone Should Own a Speedy!

Do you own a Louis Vuitton Speedy: If so which one(s)?

    Mono 30 purchased in 2007, it gets better with use.

    I did take it shopping with me over the weekend and it was a little tedious. Its perfect though for lunches, dinners….etc.

    I’m always fascinated by the Speedy because it doesn’t appeal to me. It can only be hand-carried and the canvas sags if you put anything heavy in the bag. I’m glad it has its fans, though – vive le difference!

      Absolutely agree with you. This model seems to be very impractical. Looks nice though.

    I have a damier 30 and I am so in love. Bought it in February and it’s all I carry. Perfect from casual to dressy!

    Please stop blogging about this bag everyone and their mother has this bag. This bag is no longer special because it is so all over the place.

        Don’t get wrong I love this site you cover amazing bags but this is the 3rd time that this bag has come up in the past couple of months. Enough is enough let’s put it back in the cloest.

    THis bag is so uncomfortable. The handles pinch my arms sometimes and if I have to carry more than 1 thing, well, that always sucks.

    I love this photo. I have the Sprouse orange graffiti Speedy. Perhaps an odd choice for my first (and currently only) Speedy, but I like to go big.

    I have the Mini Lin Ebene Speedy 30, a gift from a very good friend. It’s an icon but not my favourite bag.

    I have the black Multicolore Speedy 30. :-) I love it, but it’s quite heavy to carry around. :-) I might get a shoulder-strap for it one of these days. :-)
    I also used to have a Damier Speedy 35, but I sold it.

    I’m considering getting an Epi Speedy, once I have some money saved. :-)

    Damier Canvas Speedy 30. :-)
    And I do not care that many women have it. It is iconic, never goes out of style and always looks right. Very convenient. You can dress it up or down, it is a bit like ballet flats or a black turtleneck pullover or Chucks or a white blouse ….

    I love the picture. Unfortunately, on my teacher’s salary, I can’t afford one. However, if money were no object, I would get the Daimer 30.
