Description

Brand: Louis Vuitton Model: Speedy 40 Material: Monogram Coated Canvas with Vachetta Leather Trim Exterior Colour: Brown Hardware: Gold-Tone Brass Dimensions: 12" W x 8" H x 7.5" D (approx.) Handle Drop: 4" (approx.) Date Code: TH0936 Country of Origin: France Interior: Brown textile lining with interior pocket Closure: Top zip with padlock The Louis Vuitton Speedy 40 represents the largest silhouette in the house's celebrated Speedy line, first introduced in the 1930s as a compact travel companion inspired by the era's rapid transit. Executed in the iconic Monogram coated canvas—a durable material developed by Georges Vuitton in 1896—the Speedy 40 features the signature quatrefoil and fleur motif on a warm brown ground, trimmed in natural vachetta leather that deepens with age. The rounded barrel form, reinforced with leather piping, balances structure with capacity, while the rolled leather handles and engraved brass padlock remain hallmarks of Vuitton's trunk-making heritage. This model's generous proportions suit weekend travel and larger daily needs without sacrificing the streamlined elegance that has made the Speedy a mainstay since its debut.
