A pre-owned Louis Vuitton Speedy bag in black leather. The originals are still out there, and they hold up better than anything new. A bag from this era was designed to be carried, not photographed, and it shows in the hardware and the stitching.

Trunks that built a luggage empire.

Founded in 1854 in Paris by Louis Vuitton, a trunk maker who designed the flat-top, stackable trunk. The monogram canvas arrived in 1896, and the house became the most valuable luxury label in the world.

Vintage Vuitton spans a century of the most recognisable canvas ever made. The Speedy, Keepall and Noe are staples that hold value, and the older hard-sided trunks are true collectibles.

Why it's called that

Louis Vuitton Speedy

Launched in 1930 as the 'Express', the Speedy took its name from speed and travel. The 25, 30 and 40 are its widths in centimetres.

What to look for

Date codes inside the bag tell the era. Real monogram canvas is evenly printed with a warm honey-brown leather that patinas, and the hardware is heavy and stamped.

Look at the corners, hardware and lining. Real bags age at the stress points first, so a worn corner is often a good sign, not a flaw.
