Now, everyone knows about my unabashed love for the Louis Vuitton Speedy. I can hardly go a month without cooing about it in some capacity and I own a closet swallowing amount of Louis Vuitton replica versions. So,cartier replica watches, when I recently read two conflicting articles, one arguing for the necessity of owning a Speedy and the other vehemently against buying one at all,replica watches wholesale, I got more than a little stirred up. I just had to respond.

1. Louis Vuitton History is All Over It

Pardon my historian’s tone here, but this is important ladies! The Speedy marks one of the single most important turning points in Louis Vuitton’s history. In 1932, LV was still a luxury luggage house, with such a reputation that the brand’s designs were starting to spill over into haute couture. After the Keepall travel bag became such a icon, Georges Vuitton was urged to create a smaller carry on for short trips. The Speedy 30 was the very first crossover―both luggage and a purse, and Louis Vuitton’s very first true handbag. By 1965, the bag was a worldwide icon, inspiring Audrey Hepburn to personally ask for an even smaller version to be created. And so, the Speedy 25 was born―Audrey was never again seen without one, and the history of Louis Vuitton was forever linked to the Speedy.

2. It’s Available in Dozens of LV Collections

No creative director of Louis Vuitton has ever let a significant collection go by without re-imagining the Speedy. In short, if you don’t want the Monogram version that everyone else has, there are endless alternatives.

Currently LV offers it in Monogram, Damier, Damier Azur and 3 colors of Epi Leather, and replica Louis Vuitton vendors stock special editions like Miroir, Watercolor, Stephen Sprouse, Graffiti, Murakami Monogram, Cerises, Mini Lin, Mirage, Mini Lin Croisette, Dentelle, Vernis, Monogramouflage, Denim, Roses, Eclipse…Need I continue? The bottom line is, this bag is an open slate, and no matter how it’s dressed it’s the most iconic handbag ever.

3. It is Indestructible and So Useful!

The whole point of the Louis Vuitton canvas in the first place was to be a waterproof, scuff proof, tear proof material for travel bags. As a handbag, there is absolutely nothing (short of dropping it in the furnace) that you can do to seriously damage a Speedy. Combine that with the fact that it’s shape, size and simple design make it unbelievably functional for everyday use, and you really don’t need to care about the iconic image of the bag to see why it’s a must have.

4. It is Available in 4 Sizes, One For Any Occasion

What other “it” bag can claim 4 sizes? None that I can think of. The reason is, function is never as much of a concern when it comes to purses in the Speedy’s fashion class. The original Speedy 30 was accompanied by the Speedy 25 for Audrey Hepburn in 1965, and later by two larger sizes, the 35 and 40. The number refers to the length in centimetres. This means no matter what you’re doing, or how you want to look, there’s a Louis Vuitton Speedy for you.

5. “It” Bags Be Damned, The Speedy Will Never Go Out of Fashion

Oh how the trends come and go. My final argument is directly in response to the claim I read that the long term popularity of the Speedy is a reason to avoid it―after all everyone and their mother owns one. Personally I find that ridiculous. Firstly, not everyone owns one, only a portion of the like minded, fashionably dressed, intelligent women of the world―a club I’m proud to be a part of. Secondly, I would rather have 10 Speedy bags knowing that they’ll still be chic in 2030 than a new trendy purse each season that, odds are, will look hideous once those fickle tides of fashion taste turn.

That’s what I have to say about it! Who’s with me?
