Slouching to Paradise with the Louis Vuitton Speedy 35

The Louis Vuitton Speedy 35 hovers often in the shadow of it's iconic sibling handbag, the Speedy 30, but many, especially more recently, have said that the Louis Vuitton Speedy 35 vs Speedy 30 question has a new answer—35, all the way.

Firstly it's less ubiquitous. Every girl in the world, and her mother, has a Speedy 30. Not to say that ruins it, it's still one of the most magnetic luxury handbag fashions out there, but the extreme popularity has opened the door for the Louis Vuitton Speedy 35 which is just different enough to be both iconic and original. One of the most charming looks is the Damier Azur Speedy 35, a fresh Monogram, and a fresh shape for the Speedy.

Speedy 30 vs 35,What's Different?

The difference between each of the four Speedy designs is a question of 5cm. We have the 25, 30, 35, and 40 each progressively 5 cm larger in length, height and depth. Now, you wouldn't necessarily think that makes much of a difference, but in the case of the Speedy 35 vs Speedy 30, there is actually a dramatic difference. Because of the extra size, but also because of a design specification, the Speedy 35 is unmistakable. While the 30 is held firm in it's "Boston" shape by a reinforced bottom, the 35 is looser on it's frame, meaning the sides slouch over the base. It therefore has a softer, more casual appearance and will shape to it's contents ever so slightly.
