Six Reasons Every Woman Needs a Louis Vuitton Speedy

There are several items that a fashionista might consider a “Staple Item” in her wardrobe, but a Louis Vuitton speedy is a  timeless classic that every woman deserves to hold close. No fashionista should be missing this perfect bag, if you need anymore convincing here are Six Reasons every Woman needs a Louis Vuitton Speedy!

 

1. In the pricey world of designer handbags, they’re pretty affordable:

Despite the fact that the price of a Speedy has gone up a couple hundred bucks in the past decade, they’re still somewhat of a steal in the scheme of designer bags which usually cost upwards of $1500. Speedy’s start at $890 for the 25 cm monogram version, and for an iconic bag from one of the biggest luxury companies in this universe, You’re not going to find a better deal. Bags with similar storied histories and famous followings will set you back thousands of dollars. This timeless classic is also available at second-hand stores and luxury pawn shops, mostly in good condition. That way you can save yourself a lot on the bag of your dreams.

2. Don’t like monogram? There are dozens of other options:

Monogram canvas may be the most popular material for this particular bag, but don’t let that fool you in to thinking that it’s the only one. A lot of people aren’t fond of logo prints (I’m definitely one of those people), and for those people, there are Damier and Epi leather options always available, as well as whatever graced the runways that season. A few years back Louis Vuitton came out with nothing but dozens of different Speedy options in a variety of leathers and exotics. If you want logos, however, Louis Vuitton comes up with a new version practically every season, for example: watercolor, roses, cherries, pop-art pandas, graffiti. I could go on forever, but you catch my drift.

3. Louis Vuitton bags are practically indestructible:

This one requires little explanation for a true bag lover – even people that aren’t Vuitton fans know that their bags are historically very well-made, particularly the traditional styles. Also, if your Speedy were to require repair, Vuitton has better service for those kinds of things that almost any other brand I can think of. Monogram canvas is lightweight, supple, strong and sturdy. Completely waterproof, it is highly resistant to surface scratches – perfect for travel and contemporary lifestyles. Which is always a good thing, because getting a new designer handbag made of soft leather and having it scratched the same day is the worst fashionista’s nightmare!

 4. They work with any women’s style:

Speedy handbags range in size from petite to quite large, and if you’d rather not wear a bag on your arm, Vuitton offers a crossbody strap to keep you hands-free. The brand’s purists will caution against using it, but crossbodies have become so very modern in the past year that wearing a Speedy as a messenger might actually be a good way to update it. Once you’ve decided how to carry it, even the 25cm version has plenty of room for all of your daily essentials. This bag is a must have for every women, from the busy mom to the CEO: this bag is as tough and elegant as you are.

5. If it was good enough for Audrey Hepburn, it should be good enough for anyone:

Grace Kelly may have been a fan of Hermes, but Audrey Hepburn was continually photographed wearing her favorite Louis Vuitton Speedy. Some people may say that the bag is played out, but don’t let people who chase labels dissuade you from enjoying a bag that has an important historical place in the lineage of the luxury handbag. With all of the different size and design permutations, there’s a Speedy out there to suit every individual style.

6.You can make it your own and stand out from the rest:

 The Speedy is among the bags that are part of Louis Vuitton’s “Mon Monogram” program, which allows you to add your initials and several stripes in the color combination of your choosing. If you’re worried that everyone already has this bag, then why not make yours one-of-a-kind? Everyone loves a personal twist on their staple items to stand out from the rest.
