Create accountThe Story
A 1930s travel bag, shrunk to Audrey Hepburn's specifications.
Culture
Audrey's 25
In 1959 Audrey Hepburn asked Louis Vuitton to miniaturize the bag into something she could carry every day. The resulting Speedy 25, just 25 centimeters wide, turned the style into an icon and is still a favorite size.

Design
It learned to hang from the shoulder
For most of its life the Speedy was a hand-carry. In 2011 the Speedy Bandoulière added a long strap so it could finally be worn on the shoulder or across the body. Bandoulière is French for shoulder strap.

Sell fast for cash
Instant buyout quote — less than top dollar, but paid right away.
Consign for more
Listed for you and paid on sale, after the platform’s commission — usually nets more than a buyout.
