The Speedy Soft 30 Crafty Bag from LV’s Flight Mode collection reimagines the classic Speedy with soft Monogram-coated canvas and leather lining, accented with blue boarding pass tags, metal trunk charms, and red key pouches for a vibrant travel companion.
· The Speedy Bag ·
Louis Vuitton’s iconic Speedy leather travel bag debuted in 1930, designed by third-generation heir Gaston-Louis Vuitton. Originally named the “Express” bag, it was inspired by the era’s fascination with speed and automobiles. Based on the Keepall design but in a more compact, everyday handbag size, it could be flattened for easy packing in luggage.
In 1959, the Speedy was reintroduced in Monogram canvas, attracting celebrities like Audrey Hepburn. In 1965, LV created a smaller Speedy 25 specifically for Hepburn’s petite frame. With its timeless design, practicality, and accessible price, the Speedy has remained one of Louis Vuitton’s most iconic and best-selling “it bags” for nearly a century.
· Leather Lining ·
The new Speedy Soft features a softer Monogram canvas exterior paired with leather lining. The classic coated canvas offers water-resistance and durability, while the interior boasts supple red calfskin that protects contents and allows for easy folding – perfect for travel. The cheerful red hue adds a delightful touch.
· Boarding Pass & Trunk Charms ·
Vibrant blue boarding pass tags and red key pouches add eye-catching accents, while the metal trunk charm pays homage to LV’s heritage in trunk-making – embodying the “Crafty” namesake’s artisanal spirit.
All charms are detachable and can be mixed with other bags, aligning with the recent “Bag Charm” trend. Without charms, it becomes a classic Speedy Soft – eternally versatile and timeless.
True to its travel origins, the bag includes a golden lock with two keys for security.
· VVN Leather Details ·
The bag features VVN leather trim – short for “Vache végétal naturel,” meaning untreated natural cowhide that develops a patina over time, telling the story of its journey with you.
The Toron handles offer a smooth grip, with hand-painted red edges matching the lining. The detachable leather strap (24cm drop) allows for comfortable shoulder carry, freeing your hands while traveling.
· What Fits Inside? ·
The classic Boston shape with a flat bottom offers ample space. The Speedy 30 is one of the most practical everyday sizes – we fit a notebook, perfume, phone, keys, and pen while using less than one-third of its capacity, making it ideal for short trips.
