Welcome to The History of the Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag!
Louis Vuitton is a French fashion house and luxury goods company founded in 1854 by Louis Vuitton. Louis Vuitton is famous for its handbags, not only they have amazing quality, but their designs are some of the best you could find. The Speedy bag is one of the most classic and iconic bags of the brand!
In 1930 the brand designed the Keepall weekender bag as a response for the advances in transportation and the new need for a compact and lightweight bag. It wasn’t until the 1960’s that the Speedy took the form that we known today. Audrey Hepburn commissioned Louis Vuitton to custom make her a smaller version of the Keepall, one that was fit for everyday life. After being spotted multiple times with the bag in hand Audrey has helped the Speedy become one of the most iconic bags ever designed!
In 2011 Louis Vuitton launched the Speedy Bandoulière, a softer version of the style with an adjustable and detachable shoulder strap. Perfect for everyday wear and stylish enough for any occasion, this is a bag that will never go out of style!
The Speedy Bandoulière 25 is sold for $1,820. The history of the Louis Vuitton Speedy bag is as iconic as the bag itself!
