Speedy Beauty

A lot of women regard the Speedy as the best way to enter the Louis Vuitton world. For others where price is an issue the Speedy, along with the Neverfull, is the most affordable full-size purse that Louis Vuitton offers as of yet. But price aside there's endless reasons to love the Speedy.

Louis Vuitton's most recognizable piece, the Speedy was first made in 1930 and it's not unusual for us to see them on the arms of many celebrities like Jessica Simpson, Hilary Duff and Nicky Hilton. But timeless pieces such as this one always go hand-and-hand with one classic figure and this is none other than Miss Audrey Hepburn herself, whom the Speedy 25 was made for.

I myself own two of this classic satchel, one in the classic Monogram (25) and the other in the fuchsia Perforated Monogram (30) that was part of the show collection of spring 2006. With my growing collection they remain to be among my favorites!

Do you have the Speedy? What size, and from what collection? Would you recommend it? Everyone wants to know! :)

OMG, I love this picture of Audrey and a classic speedy bag! Thank you very much for posting it! THAT's what LV should have for their ads! :)

Hi Olga! I so agree. I am always shocked in disbelief that some women, even those who actually own a Speedy, don't know that Ms. Hepburn made this piece very famous!
