As one of Louis Vuitton’s most iconic designs, the Speedy has remained a staple for nearly a century. Its simple shape and lightweight build make it one of the most sought-after everyday luxury bags.
If you’re considering adding one to your collection, this guide covers everything you need to know about Speedy sizes, how they compare, and which one may be right for you.
Speedy: A Brief History
The Speedy was first introduced in the 1930s as the ‘Express’, inspired by the rise of fast travel. Audrey Hepburn later requested a smaller version, leading to the now-famous Speedy 25. Since then, the bag has become one of LV’s most enduring classics, available in a wide range of sizes and materials.

Which Is The Most Popular Speedy Size?
The Speedy 30 is generally the most popular size due to its versatility. It’s large enough for daily use but still maintains a classic, structured silhouette. For hands-free wear, the Speedy Bandoulière 30 is especially in demand.
