Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Monogram Speedy 40? A: The Speedy 40 is a roomy size that works well for more than just daily basics. It can typically hold a wallet, phone, keys, cosmetics pouch, water bottle, notebook, light knitwear, and other larger essentials. With measurements of 40 x 32 x 20 cm, it is best suited to buyers who want generous space rather than a compact handbag.
Q: Is the Speedy 40 better for everyday use or travel? A: For most people, the Speedy 40 is best as a roomy day bag, overnight bag, or light travel bag. It can absolutely be used every day if you carry quite a lot, but many buyers find the 40 size larger than a typical everyday handbag.
Q: Will a laptop fit inside this bag? A: A slim laptop or large tablet can often fit in a Speedy 40, but it depends on your device and case. As a guide, modern Speedy 40 versions are generally described as fitting up to a 15-inch laptop. We still recommend comparing your device to the listed measurements on this page for the best fit.
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.

As a guide, modern Speedy 40 versions are generally described as fitting up to a 15-inch laptop. We still recommend comparing your device to the listed measurements on this page for the best fit.
Q: Does this bag come with, or support, a shoulder strap? A: No. This specific item is the classic handheld Speedy style with dual rolled handles, and no shoulder strap is included. Unlike Bandoulière versions, it is not designed with the same removable strap set-up for shoulder or crossbody wear.
Q: What does the date code MB0912 mean? A: MB is a Louis Vuitton factory code used for France, and this code points to production in 1992, commonly read as January 1992 in this date-code format. As with all vintage Louis Vuitton bags, the date code helps indicate when and where the bag was made, but it is only one part of the overall authentication process.
Q: Where is the date code usually found on a Speedy bag? A: On Speedy bags, the date code is usually stamped inside the bag, often beneath the interior pocket or on a leather tab inside. On vintage pieces, it may be faint or partially worn from age and use.
Q: Why is the leather darker and marked? A: The natural Vachetta leather trim on Monogram pieces develops a darker honey-to-brown patina over time through exposure to air, handling, sunlight, and moisture. That ageing is normal for vintage Louis Vuitton. On this particular bag, the Vachetta already shows visible patina, watermarks, and scuffing on the piping and handles, as noted in the condition details.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Monogram Speedy 40? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft, light-coloured cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, oils, or solvents. Keep the bag away from rain, prolonged humidity, direct heat, and strongly pigmented products such as cosmetics or perfume. When not in use, store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape.
Q: What is included with this item? A: No additional items are included with this bag. Please refer to the product information on this page for the full item details.
