The hottest thing in Paris this week, aside from the weather, was the countless iterations of the Louis Vuitton Speedy. Pharrell’s time at the helm of Louis Vuitton has proven the Speedy to be a modern-day classic, with his own versions including the coveted all-leather Speedy P9.
Outside of his Louis Vuitton Spring 2027 show, the arrivals came carrying Speedy bags. All kinds of them. Classics, P9s, limited edition seasonal variations, charms, and a splattering of other Louis Vuitton bags.
I am also here to tell you that you should own a Speedy, be it the original or the rare; this bag has stood the test of handbag time. And one of the main reasons I love that Louis Vuitton continues to add this bag to its collections is the widening styles and variations, all while remaining easily recognizable. It is a feat to accomplish, one that makes an old design feel refreshed again and again, and under Pharrell’s creative direction, this has only grown stronger.
Of course, we saw other bags as well, but I had to keep this Speedy focused, because that is what we saw. And you know what, I’m not mad at it. In fact, I simply wish I had snapped up more myself.
