Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Epi Speedy 40? A: With approximate measurements of 38 x 27 x 19 cm, this is a generously sized handbag that can hold daily essentials plus larger items such as a full-size wallet, phone, cosmetic pouch, water bottle, sunglasses case, paperback, or a light cardigan. Many buyers also use the Speedy 40 as a roomy day bag or overnight option. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the best guide to capacity.
Q: Is the Speedy 40 better for everyday use or travel? A: The Speedy 40 is the largest of the classic Speedy sizes, so it is often chosen for travel, overnight stays, or anyone who prefers a spacious everyday bag. If you usually carry only the basics, it may feel oversized for daily use, but it is excellent if you like extra room.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: No. This is the classic handheld Speedy design with dual rolled handles and a top zip closure. It is not a Bandoulière version, so no shoulder strap is included. The handle drop is approximately 10 cm.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.

Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: No. This is the classic handheld Speedy design with dual rolled handles and a top zip closure. It is not a Bandoulière version, so no shoulder strap is included. The handle drop is approximately 10 cm.
Q: Is Epi leather a good choice for regular use? A: Yes. Epi leather is known for its textured, structured finish and strong day-to-day durability. It tends to hold its shape well and is a practical choice for regular use, while still offering the refined look of Louis Vuitton leather. As with any vintage leather bag, scratches and scuffs can still develop over time.
Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather? A: Gently wipe the surface with a soft dry cloth, or a slightly damp cloth when needed, and avoid harsh cleaning products. Try not to overfill the bag, and keep it away from prolonged heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. When not in use, store it in a breathable bag or ventilated space with light stuffing inside to help maintain its shape.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: This piece includes a padlock, as listed in the product information. If another item is not mentioned in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What does the date code VI 1920 tell me? A: The code indicates production in France and is commonly associated with a 1990 vintage piece. Date codes are useful for identifying the place and period of manufacture, but they are not unique serial numbers and should not be used as the only test of authenticity.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is listed in very good vintage condition. The exterior has a visible scratch, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is reviewed through a multi-point authentication process that considers materials, construction, hardware, stamps, and date-code details. For vintage Louis Vuitton pieces, the date code is one useful element, but it is assessed alongside the bag as a whole.
