The Speedy 30 is the historic model created by Gaston-Louis Vuitton in 1930.
The House of Louis Vuitton, specializing in luggage, designed this soft and compact model under the name “Express.” Indeed, fast travel is growing and lifestyles are accelerating, which explains the need to create lighter and less bulky bags. The success of Speedy bags is undeniable, and several sizes have been created: the Speedy 35, 40, 25, and Nano.
An instantly recognizable design
The Speedy 30 retains the codes of soft luggage with a simple structure: rounded leather handles, a zip closure, a rounded shape, and a single compartment. Being made from a single piece of canvas, the monograms are reversed on one side. These features make it timeless and instantly recognizable.
The Speedy 30 for every occasion
As its name suggests, the Speedy 30 measures 30 x 20 x 17 cm, offering an ideal capacity for everyday use. It is therefore suitable for an appointment, an afternoon with friends, a dinner at a restaurant… The day can unfold peacefully without having to change bags. All your essentials accompany you without the bag being too bulky:
- Wallet
- Phone
- Tablet
- Makeup
- Glasses
- Gloves
- Umbrella
- Personal accessories
Some newer Speedys also feature a flat interior pocket, which prevents you from having to search for your lipstick at the bottom of the bag.
The Speedy 30, like the Speedy 25, is among the most iconic and sought-after Louis Vuitton models due to their reasonable size, which gives them versatile use. The shoulder strap only appeared later, in 2011, but reflects the model's adaptation to new urban habits that require greater freedom of movement.
When artists join in
Collaborations between the House of Louis Vuitton and many artists have also allowed the Speedy to stand the test of time. Takashi Murakami, in the 2000s, created the multicolored Monogram canvas. More recently, in 2023, Yayoi Kusama covered the bags with her famous polka dots. From luggage to handbag, the Speedy has gradually established itself as a collector's item.
