The Louis Vuitton Epi Speedy 30 is just one of those bags that can best be categorized under timeless classic. It’s the perfect carry-all-you-need city bag.

What I love most about this bag, besides the shape and over all style is the material. I’m not really a fan of signatures scribbled all over my bag, I prefer the label to be inside or neatly stamped in a clean and simple way, like on the hardware or on the corner. Which is why I love the Epi Line so much. (added to Louis Vuitton 1985)

The famous Speedy style is the little sister of Louis Vuitton’s world famous travel Keepall. The classic satchel shape is crafted out of full-grain Epi leather, features a city-proof roomy textile lined interior, accessorized with polished silver metal hardware and topped off with the little “LV” stamp and signature padlock. The measurements are about 12″ in length x 8″ height.

You can find the Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 from the Epi line over at eLuxury, where it retails for $1,050.

Side Note: Don’t forget about the new change of address…

Eluxury’s next big move towards closing down – removal of Louis Vuitton products.

The last day to shop for Louis Vuitton handbags at eLuxury is set for today, May 15th.

eLuxury launched in June 2000 by LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton and was the only location online (besides LouisVuitton.com) where authentic LV items were sold, but after getting hit with declining popularity and sales, they announced the closure of the retail portion of the site.

After that date, Louis Vuitton items will only be sold at LouisVuitton.com.

If looking for a steal, and you don’t mind buying a second hand bag, you should totally checkout the Louis Vuitton Epi Speedy’s on eBay. Right now there’s a dozen or so of this style in a variety of colors, like yummy Mandarin orange, Castillan red, Ivory white, Green, Yellow and more.

And you are not going to believe some of the deals – for example at this moment there are a couple authentic Epi Speedy’s with current bids in the $200-range with a buy-it-now’s in the area of $405 to $899.

Also, I probably don’t have to tell you, but be super careful for fakes. Before bidding, be sure that the user has a high rating, been around for a while, and it’s always a plus if they’re a My Poupette or eBay PowerSeller.
