The devoted love for Speedy:

Audrey Hepburn, celebrated as a film and fashion icon, was also a devoted fan of the Louis Vuitton Speedy bag. In the 1960s, she requested a smaller version of it, which resulted in the creation of the Speedy 25!

 

The Unusual Canvas:

The original LV canvas wasn’t made from leather. It was a specially coated canvas that was more durable and waterproof. This unique material made it perfect for traveling and for standing out in the crowd!

 

The Damier Canvas:

Before the famous LV monogram, there was the Damier canvas. Introduced in 1888, this checkered pattern was created to combat counterfeiting and remains a classic design.

 

The LV Monogram:

The iconic LV monogram was introduced in 1896 by Georges Vuitton, Louis’ son, as a tribute to his late father. The monogram, featuring the initials "LV" and floral motifs, was designed to prevent counterfeiting and has become a symbol of luxury.
